Visions of Sugarplums 2015...Day 3 of 3!

Hello there, friends!

 

It's day 3 of 3 for the Visions of Sugarplums Hop!  It's time for more Christmas fun!  Lori of Chouxchoux Paper Art is hosting the Visions of Sugarplums Blog Hop!  Lots of fun with prizes!  And, a challenge(Christmas/Winter) with any project that fits the theme can be linked to Lori's blog mentioned above!  The challenge will end December 20th.  And, a randomly selected winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!  I hope you have enjoyed the hop and continue to view all the wonderful inspiration! 

 

Here is my third Christmas project that I created for the hop...

 

 

 

I started with a paper mache angel and painted it acrylic white paint twice.  I placed tulle fabric.  Trims, buttons, pearls, tinsel trim, and flower gems were added.  Feather trim for along the bottom and for the wings.  One angel is not enough, so I made two more.  There can't be just one angel in the family, right?!:-)  Here are the two small angels that I created...

Here is my second Christmas project that I created for the hop...

 

 

 

I started with a glass container and sprayed it with glitter on the inside and outside.  Iridescent snow flakes were placed on the bottom.  The church is an ornament, and I placed a star above the circular window and blue gems around the other windows.  Large snowflakes were placed on the sides and trims around the top.  Here are a couple more views...

 



 

The church lights up as you can see through the windows!  And, one more view of the trims along the top...

For my first project, I'd like to share with you my fabric strip Christmas tree!

And, here it is...

 

 

 

I was inspired by Melissa Phillips(lilybeanpaperie) to make the tree.  I didn't get a tree made for the challenge when they had it going on last month, but now it's done!  If you'd like to see the tutorial it's at the Papertrey Ink blog (Fabric Strip Christmas Tree Make It Monday #229).  The tree was easy to make by starting with a straw and spool.  I cut fabric strips and trims and tied them onto the straw.  The little tag was made using die and stamp from PTI.  The star was made by covering a star sticker with Faber Castell Luxe gold from MFT and sprinkled with gold glitter.  Please visit the list below to what amazing projects these talented ladies created!
