Hi there and lovely Thursday! The Christmas season has definitely started as there's decorations in the shops, chocolate boxes in grocery stores and today the first snow fell to Helsinki as well. To get myself into that holiday and winter mode, I made some decorations using Sizzix dies.
These decorations were inspired by the "Christmas Elements" die set. I thought pieces of wood would fit them nicey as the background. Only that they aren't real pieces of wood but instead made with "Tree Rings Mini" die and embossing folder set out of EVA foam. I first used the die to cut the shapes, then embossed them using the folder and then painted using acrylic paints. Even making the hole to the decorations was easy as I didn't need a drill but instead could use a hand punch!
If you are looking for more Christmas inspiration, Sizzix UK (link) has a special Christmas hub opened (link)! There's also even bigger source site called "Winter Wonderland" (link) that hosts a competition as well. There's an elf hiding in the Sizzix UK site, but to make locating him easier, this page (link) has a clue where he's hiding. So, click to the site, read the clue and be in for a chance to win some great prizes!
Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a beautiful day!
