Snowflake Ornament ~ with Cyndy G

Good morning crafters.  Today I have a fun little ornament using the Snowflake Stick Ornament that can be found in the JGW Snowflake Stars from SVG Attic.  I reduced the size of this ornament to a 4" circle.  Everything cut out perfectly at this size however I did decide not to use the "sticks" on this one.  I did cut them out but I just decided not to use them.

I used some of my Doodlebug paper and a few of their cut files for the center of my snowflakes.  At this small size it was easier to cut files that had just a few pieces, so I used pieces of candy.  I used Watermelon Taffy Trendy Bakers Twine from Annie's Paper Boutique, my personal favorite.

These little ornament look so yummy.  I love the bright colors.  Thank you for stopping by today.

Christmas in July - Part II ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Friday crafters!  Today I am sharing a fun project using the Six Point Star Snowflake from the Winter Illuminations Kit.  I love this file.  I loved the snowflakes just as they are but I wanted to take them to the next level.

I used Graphic 45 - Nutcracker Sweet and did a lot of fussy cutting.  The base of the snowflake has three layers, two cut out of patterned paper and one out of thin chipboard.  I used Mod Podge on each individual layer and added the dimensional diamonds to the center.  I used Mod Podge to glue all three layers together and let them dry overnight.  This made the ornament very sturdy.  

 While the base was drying I cut multiples of the same image and layered them with foam tape for dimension.  I inked all the edges and used Mod Podge on all the individual pieces.  While the pieces were still wet I molded them, adding waves in the banners, ripples in the ballerina skirts and molded the page cut out to make it look more like a book.  These were also left to dry overnight.

The next day everything was ready to assemble.  This is one of my favorite paper collections and I am very please with how my ornaments turned out. 

  Thank you for stopping by.

Cocoa Cups ~ with Cyndy G

Hello today I am sharing a cute and quick project from My Scrap Chick.  The Cups, Frosty Cocoa Cup.  These are so cute and you can make a bunch in a short amount of time.

I used a little foam tape on the snowflake to give it some dimension.  

I also added a little bling to the center of the snowflake.  These would make great gifts for your children to make for their class.  It's easy enough for them to do and would not take too long for them to finish.  Thank you for stopping by today.

Meeting Elsa ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello thank you for stopping by today.  Today I am a guest designer for Bird's Cards.  I have been a long time fan of her creations.  I just love her cards.  Today I decided to make the Snowflake Photo Frame Triptych from the Home for Christmas kit.  As soon as I saw it I knew it was going to be perfect for our photo of Elsa.

We are having an Elsa themed birthday and I thought this would make a beautiful centerpiece.  I just love it!  

The center frame holds a 5x7 and the two sides hold 4x6.  

I centered a 4x6 on a 5x7 sheet of cardstock for my center picture.

I wanted a solid background for the snowflake so that it would stand out more.  To achieve this I ungrouped the snowflake frame and deleted the cut outs.  I added some gemstones to the centers of the snowflakes and some Stickles to the main snowflake to add a little dimension.

Another Frozen Birthday ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday, thank you for stopping by.

Today I am sharing some cute little Frozen purses and card.  They are for my daughter's birthday.  When I asked what paper would you like me to use this year she happily proclaimed Frozen.  Another Frozen birthday - I think Frozen will live forever in our home :)

I used an adorable little purse from Pretty Purses and changed out the flower with the snowflake from CG Nutcracker Dream.

I added a ribbon to the handle and gemstones to the snowflake.

I also made one of the snowflake cards from JGW Snowflake Stars.  I love this card.
I added a frozen sticker and stamp sentiment for a beautiful finish to the card.
