Santa Quick Box

Another project from the SVG Cut file collection Santa's Visit from SVGcuts.com using my SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot) program. This Quick Box is the perfect size: 4-1/4" x 3" x 2-3/8" ( at the bottom) and 3" (at the top). I love how Mary used twine to wrap around the brads - Gold thread is used for my project. To give this box a vintage look, most of the edges are sponged using SU Close to Cocoa ink. DSP used around the box is from my large stash of Holiday paper...............little by little, my paper stash is finally being used.

Stamp, Santa, and Santa's nose are popped with dimensionals. Eyes are made using a black pen. use SU Sahara Sand to lightly sponge the beard edge.

Bottom half of the box are three paper buttons using SU Button Embosslit, then a gold pen for the "thread". Add a stamped message as a final touch.

Gold thread around each brad twice, then knotted. Apply a drop of Glossy Accent to secure the knot.

Side view: Close the box using 1/4" grosgrain ribbon

The lid opens to get the treats inside:

Santa Stamp Card

Here's another project from the Santa's Visit SVG cut file from SVGcuts.com. By using SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot program), this card came together in a snap. This is another "shaped" card with a vintage feel. It resembles a postage stamp. Finished card size is 4-7/8" x 6". An envelope cut file is included in the collection for this card. The gold thread around the frame with gold brads gives the finishing touch.

Gold brads hold the gold thread. In the top left corner, the gold thread is tied into a bow, then secured with a drop of Crystal Lacquer.

Edges of the hat are sponged with SU Close to Cocoa. Beard and eyebrows are sponged with SU Sahara Sand. Cheeks are made by using a dauber...........pounce lightly to get the desired color. Eyes are punched with a 1/8" hand held punch, adhered using 2 way glue pen. Santa is popped with dimensionals on top of the mat.

Inside card: Sponge the edge of the inside mat with SU Close to Cocoa ink.

Santa Card

This is the best looking Santa I have made. Doesn't he look kinda "wintage"? This is a "shaped" card cut using SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot)...........I love it these kind of cards. I also love all the textures on this card, too. This is another project from Santa's Visit SVG cut file from SVGcuts.com. Finished card size is 6" x 5". An envelope included in the cut file, too.

On most of the card, SU Close to Cocoa was used to sponge the edges. SU Sahara Sand is used for the beard and eyebrows. SU Pink Pirouette is used around the nose and is lightly dabbed for the cheeks. Use a black pen to make a dot for the eyes.

Gold thread is applied to the top of the lantern. To secure the thread, a drop of Crystal Lacquer will hold the knot.

Card inside: White mat is lightly sponged with SU Close to Cocoa ink

Sleigh Treat Holder

Nothing like having a sleigh to hold some treats (or shiny Christmas balls) for the holidays. This is the first of the Santa's Visit SVG cut file from SVGcuts.com. There are many sleighs out there but I happen to just love the swirl rails on this one and the amount of layering on the sides. While most have the "holder section" as a "box"......this one is shaped oh ever so nice! I did make a 'shadow" cut for the white behind the SU Flocked Red/White Damask paper (yup, I've been hoarding this fabulous paper for a while!).

The wreath is on both sides of the sleigh: got this FREE cut file on line. I do believe this wreath is available from the Cricut cartridge: "Tis the Season".....it is cut at 2-1/4" with two color greens (scraps are wonderful for these small embellishments). Add some adhesive red rhinestone clusters and Red Stickles with sponging done using SU Old Olive ink makes this wreath nice!!!! The wreath is popped with dimensionals.

Here's a look inside the sleigh. Project measurements: 7-3/4" long x 2" wide x 4-3/4" high. The inside sleigh area is 2" x 4-1/2".

A look at the underside of the sleigh:

Well, this is only the first of the Santa's Visit SVG Collection........so stay tuned for more projects.
Supplies:

• CS: SU Chocolate Chip, Recollections White, SU Real Red, SU Flocked DSP, Recollections Green scraps


• Ink: SU Old Olive


• Accys: Red Stickles, Tombow Adhesive, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dimensionals, Adhesive Rhinestones, Sponging Daubers

Hugs until tom................

Holiday Crackers

A short posting:
This is the easier party treat I've ever made............it's a SVG cut file from SVGcuts.com and is part of the Gingerbread Chalet Village Collection using the SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot computer program). It sure beats cutting each and every one of those triangles to make this project...............(urgh...........and I used to do that, too). The finished size for this treat is 6 x 1-1/2". It was a snap to make. Some of the treats can be three chocolate kisses, folded up currency, or small charms. They can also be embellished with so many choices to even further glam it up.

I made two of each pattern paper for now:

Here's what the computer screen looks like......no dies......just cut. I adjusted the original cracker size so it will fir four on a 12x12 page.........nothing like using every inch of the paper.......ahhhhhh.

Supplies used: AC Christmas paper, 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Sticky Tape........and that"s it!!!!

Yay....is this the easiest or what?
