12 Days DIY Christmas 2014: Day 2

Today I would like to share couple ornaments I made with my Silhouette Cameo for my swap friend, Lucy.

The shapes I used for these ornaments are the Advent shapes that come with the Silhouette Advent Wire Frame Kit I got last year.

First, I cut the Silhouette Chipboard for the bases of the ornaments so they will be sturdy enough. And then I cut 3 more of each shape using patter christmas patterns. These are Sparkle and Shine paper packet from Close To My Heart but they are retired.

I added some glitter glue on each side for little sparkle, jingle bells, ribbon and twine so they can put them on the tree.

And these are the cute ornaments she made for my daughters. They just love these angles and they put them on our tree.

We participated at The Silhouette Challenge Facebook Group – Ornament Swap event. It is a fun, inspiring and amazing support group for Silhouette die cutting machine users, both beginner and veteran crafters. If you would like to join us, please fill out this form first.

Hope you like them as much as we do 🙂 Have a merry December!

12 Days DIY Christmas 2014: Day 1

Welcome December! I love this month for so many reasons 😀 and I have been thinking and planning to do something different this year so I came up with this… I would love to share 12 DIY Christmas Projects with you all from December 1st through December 12th. I hope you will like this and inspire to create something special for your Christmas this year.

Kicking off this special series, I would love to share the first project is from my little sister, Gisella. A couple of days ago she shared this cute Christmas tree she made out of Starbucks coffee cup sleeves! So…. watch out Starbucks! Hopefully you’ll have enough supplies this year…LOL! 😀

My sister told me that she printed out some Christmas dingbats from internet that she liked on a printer paper, trimmed them and glued them on piece of cardboard. And added them on the tree as decorations.

How neat is that? I love her crafty idea of recycling Starbucks sleeves and cardboards she had around her. I tell ya, she has been drinking way too much Starbucks coffee!

I also link this card up at Inspire Me Monday Week 152.

I hope you like her project she shared with us today. Have a Merry December!

Do you recycle? How do you recycle them?
