Today I'm sharing with you my Christmas projects. I posted on December 6th and it's my turn once again to show you items I made for Christmas gifts!

First up, I made a Christmas ornament using the sentiment die from Sweet Cuts-Joy.  The frame using gold paper was die cut using Sweet Cuts-Circle Scallop Frames.  Here is my star ornament, which will be given to one of my sisters...



Next up, is my reindeer ornament made using one of the Sweet Cuts-Circle Scallop Frames.



Also, I made trivets for gifts using the wonderful Christmas  Photo Play paper, which is available in the shop!  And, here is my first trivet...


It was simple as pie to make these.  I merely glued on the Photo Play paper and cut out the images from the same paper  Black borders around the images were added.  The twine with bells and red berries were glued to the top of the trivet.  I added three layers of mod podge to finish the project.  I had lots of fun making these projects to be given as gifts!

Here is another trivet with just twine and berries added at the top.  Actually the trivets can be used as a hanging decoration, too!


Here is a side view of the first trivet...


You still with me?  Just one more project I made using the awesome Photo Play Paper...


I made the card simple for I wanted to highlight the paper.  A bow from Sweet-Cuts-stitched-tags-#2-mitten-tree was added.  The sentiment is from Deck the Halls.  And, the sequins are (Strawberry) to finish the card.

Project Supplies:



Don't forget about our Challenge going on until the end of the month!  Anything goes!  Hope to see your project there!


Thanks so much for dropping by today!  I hope you enjoy the hop!  Take care!

Hugs,
Maria
