Wow! It's been a great week so far! The teams on both sides of the "pond" have been creating wonderful things to inspire you for the upcoming holidays with a mix of both Dreamweaver and Woodware UK* products! Six days, SIX, of beautiful, elegant, merry, cute, artsy, and craftsy projects to have you heading out to your local stores or internet sites to buy these goodies immediately!
Of course, there will be prizes as well. Three prize packages will be given to three commenters during this week's posts on the team's blogs, including five stencils and one nested die set. You can have an opportunity to win these goodies by leaving some holiday sweetness for each team member posting each day, to be one of the three winners for the week. Here are the team members that are inspiring you today:
Here's my creation:
 |
| LG674 Oval Ornament and the new LL3045 Sm Oval Ornament PLUS the new matching die set DG674 Nested Ornaments Dies |
- To start, I taped each ornament stencil to some decorative holly cardstock (Graphic45) with removable tape
- Place a large dollop of Pearlescent Embossing Paste on your craft mat or on a piece of freezer paper, add ONE drop of Wendy Vecchi's Archival Fern Green re-inker to the paste and mix well, it will be a very pale green
- Use a paste spreader (LM2010) to apply the colored paste over each stencil
- Remove the stencils and place in water for cleaning
- Let paste dry thoroughly
- When the paste is dry, lay the matching die over each ornament and cut them out
- Lay LJ891 Holly swirls stencil over one ornament and use 1/4" stencil brushes and Fern Green and Red Geranium re-inkers to stencil the design
- Brush the edges of each ornament with the Fern Green
- Mount on some beautiful Hanko cardstock and add a bow and fiber from May Arts, clean and elegant
- I love how the background paper shows through the paste too!

| Close up, notice the bird that was on the paper looks like he's eating one of the berries |
 |
| The left over negatives that I will certainly be using for another project |
