Christmas Decor: Ornaments

Hello CP friends! Enza here, and today I'm sharing simple and easy Christmas ornaments created with the beautiful Merry Days collection. All the fun bits and pieces included in this collection are perfect for any type of holiday projects; you don't need much more to give your décor a festive look.

Let's start with the star-shaped ornaments! I die cut several stitched stars in different sizes from both patterned paper and craft foam; I like that the foam gives dimension without being too bulky, so you can easily layer it in between each star and still have a nice sized piece. This process goes pretty quickly, allowing to create lots of ornaments in no time!

I then glued the super cute fabric buttons on top of the glitter hanging stars that come in the collection, tied a bow on top, and placed them in the center of the ornaments.

The red and white twine I used here is from the Tag Kit, which is one of my favorites this year.

The second set of ornaments features a circular design. Here again I die cut the scalloped circles from patterned paper, and I also created rosettes in a smaller size to adhere on top.

The rosettes gave the ornaments enough dimension, so I didn't have to use foam in between the layers. For the top, I went with the adorable Shaker Stickers, but also tags and die cut pieces.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! If you're looking for a quick and easy project, this one is for you. Shaped ornaments are perfect to decorate your tree or to use as gifts for neighbors, teachers, and friends! Gift tags would be another option, don't you think?

Until next time!

Christmas Decor: 3D Star Place Setting

Hi Girls! It’s Flóra here. For today’s post I made some cute boxes what can be a nice handmade gift for your loved ones during the holiday season. You can cheer up the tableware with them. If you add the name of your guest on the box, they can replace place cards. You can fill up the boxes with sweets or other small gifts. I promise your loved ones will adore them.

I picked three different patterned papers called Twelve Days, Cheer and Peace. I download a star box cut file and cut the shape out using my cutting machine. I carefully fold the box and assembled using adhesive tape. After the boxes were done, I selected ephemera pieces and stickers for decoration.

On the top of each box I created small embellishment clusters. I tried to us different types just to have more texture. I find important to use foam tape between the layers to create dimension, else the embellishing would be too flat what doesn’t look attractive.

Beside the boxes I also made place cards and napkin rings. For the cards I added sentiment from waterfall sticker sheet, a cute fabric button and my guest name using thickers. For the napking ring I used a simple paper strip what I fixed with a stapler and adhered a shaker sticker in the middle. I love how the whole table coordinates and it’s so easy to make something like this with Crate Paper Merry Days collection.

That was it for today! Thanks for stopping by here! I hope you will make something similar for your holiday table setting. Don’t forget to share it with us on social media!

Christmas Decor: Merry Days Banner

Hello again! Christmas is just right at the corner. And this week we are featuring Christmas decorations. I'm so excited to share with you these Christmas paper bunnies that I created with the Merry Days collection. I just love how festive, cosy and bright this collection is! Just perfect to keepsake all the Christmas fun & precious memories :)

These bunny heads can be used in many ways if you are holding a Christmas party or get together over this Christmas. It can be used as prop on the decor table. Just stick the bunny heads to the satay sticks and voila, it could enhance the featured table instantly. It could be name placecards too. And it could be the perfect Christmas tags for your gifts too. Can you see all the possibilities? 

To begin, I used a bunny head template and cut them out on patterned papers with my faithful Silhouette Cameo. I chose subtle background for the bunny heads to keep everything matchy & cohesive. Once that is done, I went ahead to add eyelashes and cute heart as noses on them. Last but not least, I knew these bunnies would look cute with santa's head, some fussy cut flowers and other fussy cutting elements. I just love how easy to create these paper bunnies! And yes, they looked super stinkin' cute! Don't you think so?

I absolutely love that these Christmas bunnies are just perfect as banner too. Just stick them onto a gold string and they look so good to be on a wall. Don't they look so pretty in a row? 

I hope you are inspired to create these paper bunnies for this Christmas! Thanks for letting me share. Merry Christmas!
