I used the super-adorable papers from Echo Park's Holly Jolly Christmas line on all these projects. Mixed in are some chipboard shapes from Little Yellow Bicycle and trims from My Mind's Eye. I picked up all these products at Scrapdoodles in Fredericksburg. They are so awesome there!
First, I LOVE this chevron paper!!!! I cut it at 11 inches square, rounded the corners, and layered it on brown then white for my background. The tree came from Designer's Calendar and my cricut. The "wishes" title was cut using the Winter Woodland cartridge. Then I just added layers of patterned paper and chipboard. I couldn't resist cutting off a little pompom and tying it onto the chipboard frame with a bit of twine.
Next, I've seen a lot of painted or covered clothespins around the blogs and on Pinterest and thought a set of them would be a cute little gift. I made mine magnets and thought the recipient could use them to hang their holiday greetings or lists up on the fridge. The EP die cut sheet had some perfectly sized little label/title cuts. The labels were a bit shorter than the clothespin, so I just covered the tip of each clothespin with red glitter. They sort of remind me of reindeer noses. I attached self-adhesive magnet to the back of each clothespin and made a little card to keep them all together.
I couldn't stop using up all the paper, so I decided to make some ornaments, too. I found a nice scalloped edge on the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and used my Gypsy to weld 2 together, along with a rectangle to make it wider. Then I simply accordion folded it and glued it all together with the help of my hot glue gun and a small circle piece on the back for added stability. The little pompom was then attached and some more twine so it's ready to hang on the tree, or wherever you need a splash of fun color.
