MY PROJECTS
off the mat: buddy the elf
Heβs so simple yet so cute πππ. Heβs 30 inches and pretty much seamless. I love all the colors that were used with a variety of cardstock - shimmer, glitter, Swiss dots. And I loved duplicating the holly and adding some shape/curl to make it stand out on his shirt.
PENGUIN THEMED ORNAMENT SHAKER / GIFT TOPPER
This penguin is so stinking cute - you have both the lollipop holder and a shaker ornament.The shaker is super simple using @bearlyarts foam strips to create the wall to keep the sprinkles in. The sampler pack has 4 sheets - 2 sheets of strips and 2 of squares in 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch depth. And the cubies are super sticky!!! You donβt need to reinforce with glue.
SWEET CHRISTMAS WREATH
I am absolutely in love with this project!!! The wreath is from @papermintdecor and her original is the last picture. It was all over my Pinterest feed and I knew I had to make it.
Itβs actually a very simple (and cheap) project to do. Youβll need a floral wreath from @dollartree, streamers, and cardstock. Thatβs it! Shocking, right? And itβs soooo worth it. I LOVE this project. All the details β¦ all the colors β¦ just πππ.
Make sure to use @bearlyarts glue for the perfect cardstock glue. The nutcrackers are 2 inches and 4 inches, and the lollipops are 2 inches. The font is from @creativefabrica is Bella rose (very reminiscent of I love glitter).
CHRISTMAS PENGUIN LOLLIPOP HOLDERS
Iβm so ready to start Christmas with the cutest little penguin lollipop holder. This cute svg file and the glue are both available on the Bearly Art website β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ.
OFF THE MAT: SNOOPYβS CHRISTMAS HOUSE
Itβs done!!!! Snoopy with real lights and faux snow β¦ itβs better than I had imagined β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ. Thank you for joining my live on Instagram where we brainstormed and came up with a better idea for the lights!!! This tutorial is broken up into quite a few sessions cause it was definitely time consuming πππ€£β¦ but so worth it IMHO π.

OFF THE MAT: BABY GRINCH
Tips and tricks for an off the mat project.Make baby grinch with me!!! π. 30 inches of cardstock πππ.
DIY GRINCH ORNAMENT
I finally hopped on board to make one of these. Theyβre 3 inch flat disc plastic ornaments from @michaelsstores. Unless you have a serious dislike for this shape, itβs the easiest to work with and to add adhesive vinyl.
Tips:
π the face image is 1.9 inches for the 3 inch bulb; the one on the left is 1.5 inches which is too small in my opinion.
π use minwax polycrylic protective finish - Iβve used this in the past and do not have any discoloration issues.

OFF THE MAT: JACK & SALLY - NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
π Jack and sally - 37 inches x 22 inches of cardstock.
Look at that hair shine! Iβm so excited to have discovered a new brand of glitter cardstock - Ground Up Creations!Now for the tips:π - at 37 inches they are practically seamless!!! In the video you can see a seam running through her dress. But that will disappear when this is glued to a foam board. It will stay flat and wonβt catch the light reflection.
OFF THE MAT: THE GRINCH
Itβs Christmas time! Lol. So Iβve decided to have a fun Christmas tree craft room which is different from my living room fancy Christmas tree.
The grinch is 36 inches and he will have some company ... a nutcracker and Cindy Lou who will definitely be part of this scene. And lots more Christmas crafts to come.
