DT Make it Monday – 3D Christmas Tree Tutorial

 

Hi everyone,  Francine here!

Today, I’ll show you a different way to use the Christmas Tree Die
and how to make quick and easy Christmas cards with the Meoples.

 

Let's start!

   

 

You'll need...

- C.C. Designs Cutters Christmas Tree Die
- The Meoples – Brrrrrrrrrr!
- Sentiment stamp (I used AmyR Handy Christmas Greetings)
- Design paper
- Cardstock
- Circle dies (2 different sizes) 
- 1mm 3D foam pads (to make the tree)
- 3 mm 3D foam pads (to stick the circle die cuts together and the Meople)
- Liquid glue
- Ribbon (to stick with double sided tape) or washi tape

 

 

1. Cut all elements with a die cutting machine.
You need 5 cuts of the Christmas Tree Die.

  

 

 

2. Use the front of the first die cut as the base of the tree.
Add a drop of liquid glue and a 1 mm foam pad on
the back side of a second die cut. Stick it on the base.

 

 

 

3. Assemble the next three layers in the same way as before.

 

 

 

4. Let it dry. Then turn the tree on the back side.

 

 

5. Cut along the dotted lines on each side.

 

 

6. Add a trunk and here is your 3D Christmas tree.

 

 

7. Color the Meople image and assemble all other elements.
This is the finished card:  

 

 

 

8. Here is another example that I showed on my blog a couple of weeks ago.
For that one, I used The Meoples – No Peeking and C.C. Designs Funny Christmas Sayings.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial. If you have any questions, just leave a comment.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

DT Make it Monday: Pimp a Clothepin

Hi, there, it' Simone...I know, it's not Monday... but we will have a great thing going on next Monday *smile* - so I'm going to show you my MIM-Project today.

Isn’t it crazy how time flies? Only 3 weeks left until Christmas... so go and hurry- it’s time to get your presents done =)

Therefore, today I want to show you an idea how to decorate presents in your own style. 

 

You need:

Wooden Clothepins, Circle Punch, matching Scallop Punch (or Dies),Pattern Paper, Cardstock, Double sided Tape, Cutter, Scissors, for decoration: Rubber Stamps (No Peeking Meoples, Christmas Logos), Dies (Holly&Berry), Distress ink. 

 

Take the clothespin and glue a strip of pattern paper on both sides.  I used double sided tape. Ink the edges with Distress ink.

Then punch out a circle with a matching scallop circle, glue it together and go ahead playing with stamps or dies-cuts to decorate it. 

 

Take a piece of double sided tape and glue the scallop on the clothespin and you've got a personalized gift tag.

Some examples...

... and this is how it looks decorated on a gift =)

I hope you like my idea- have fun trying it!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice weekend... 

Hugs, Simone

December Release Preview Day Two...

 

Sweet November Winter Kids....

Here is what Illustrator Amy Young has to say about her latest images...

"We've got something a bit different for you this release. Instead of traveling into the magical Sweet November Land we'll be staying put in a much more down to earth kind of place. Think of it as the quintessential neighborhood all covered in snow and dressed for the holidays. With the neighborhood kids enjoying their days off from school during Christmas vacation. So sit back and say hello to the Sweet Winter Kids, I hope that they remind you of how wonderful it is to be a child during this magical time of year. "

 

Let's start with Winter Kids Max!
