By | 3 Comments

I’ve already shown you a GNOME, a SANTA and a GINGERBREAD MAN made using the arabesque shape in the Delicate Baubles Dies.  Have I sold you on buying this die set yet?  If I have, please use my ONLINE ORDERING link to support my small business!  Today, I’m showing an ELF made with it!

And here’s my Elf:

Stampin’ Supplies:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Granny Apple Green cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Gingerbread & Peppermint 6×6 Designer Paper.
  • The 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 Basic White is stamped with the Holly Jolly Wishes greeting in Real Red Ink.
  • The arabesque bauble was cut from Granny Apple Green cardstock.
  • Three stripes of 1/8″ wide Real Red cardstock were cut and trimmed to the curves of the bottom of the ornament.
  • The belt is 1/2 x 3-1/4 trimmed along the curves of the ornament (or cut with the Die).
  • The buckle is the Ornate Frames Die cut from Gold Foil Paper.  The center is a rectangle of 1/2 x 3/4 Basic Black cardstock adhered on top.  It is added to the belt with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The collar was hand-cut from Real Red cardstock with 1/8″ Circles cut from Gold Foil Paper (or use Champagne Rhinestones).
  • A trio of Red Rhinestones were added in the background.

This is my second post for today…make sure to check out my other post, too!

Yesterday, I showed you a GNOME made using the arabesque shape in the Delicate Baubles Dies.  Today, I’m showing a Santa made with it!  This was SO easy to do!

And here’s my Santa:

Stampin’ Supplies:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Real Red cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was added to the top.
  • A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Paper was added down the left side.
  • The greeting from Holly Jolly Wishes was stamped with Old Olive Ink in the lower right corner.
  • The 3/4 x 3-1/2 piece of Basic Black cardstock was placed across the center of a 3-1/2 x 4-1/4 piece of Real Red cardstock and the arabesque shape Delicate Bauble was cut with the Die.
  • The belt buckle is one of the Ornate Frames cut from Gold Foil Paper and the inside of the buckle from Basic Black.  They were adhered together and added to the belt on the bauble with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Red Rhinestones were added in the background.

That’s it!  I’m going to make these for my Santa gift tags this year!  This year may be the last of my hand-made Santa tags as the grand-kids are getting older and wiser about Santa!  I may have to go with store-bought tags for a few years…lol!
