A big thank you to the girls at the Cricut With Heart blog. I pinned this stinkin’ cute
ornament last year and it was perfect for my gift to the office girls this year. Once I cut out everything they came together
pretty fast.
Here are the details – I tweaked
some of the dimensions from their original post.
- · Body -Artiste – Page 53 – 3D Object, size 4 ½ “ – various red B&T paper and Cranberry or Ruby CS
- · PomPom - Artiste – page 62 – Accent 2, size 1” – silver glitter paper
- · Hat Trim - Artiste – page 62 – Accent 4, size ¾ ” – White Daisy CS
- · Mustache - Artiste – page 67 – Shift, Accent 2, size ¾” – White Daisy CS
- · Nose - Artiste – page 48 – Card, size .40 cm – Parchment CS (retired), (I changed the settings to reflect centimeters)
- ·
Holly Leaf - Art Philosophy – page 48 -
, size 1” – New England Ivy CS - · Face – 1 ¼” x 2”, Parchment CS (retired)
- · Beard – 3” x 1 ½”, White Daisy CS (I cut strips of 3” wide CS and ran through embossing folder then cut to 1 ½” strips)
- · Other: Bakers twine, glitter gems, Opaques, pink chalk for cheeks.
While the body was still flat I stamped the bottom with
B1475 Handmade Stamp (from Seasonal Expressions available December 1st) and initialed and dated it. Then I did the folds. Then, while still flat, I adhered the beard,
face and hat trim pieces. Those pieces were trimmed to fit the triangle piece.
The holly leaves, glitter gems, eyes (Opaque gems – retired) were added
next. Bakers twine was doubled, tied in
a knot and adhered to the inside top.
Then I applied adhesive to the flaps and formed the triangle box. The Glitter PomPom was added last.
PS - that's my cat Yumi in one of the pics. I was taking the pictures on her perch in front of the window for better lighting and she had to see what was going on.
