The 12 Projects of Christmas - Day 11 - Small Christmas Decoration

Hello Christmas Crafters!
Welcome to day 11 of our 12 Projects of Christmas series! 
We're bringing you something a little bit different today, in the form of a pretty little Christmas decoration rather than a card. However, this design could be incorporated into a card - how about creating a little pocket on a card front to store the decoration? That way you will have a card and gift in one! You could also adapt it by having a plain back, so that you can use it as a shaped gift tag. 
Read on for a full step-by-step project tutorial.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Stamp the reindeer onto Crystal White pearl card and heat-emboss using Silver Dollar embossing powder. Die-cut the stamped image using the coordinating die. Cut another from Crystal White pearl card, this time without stamping the image. 

2 Affix a piece of silver ribbon onto the back of the stamped reindeer using Red-liner tape and glue the two reindeers together using Dries-Clear PVA glue. 

3 Add a bell onto some thin blue ribbon and tie around the reindeer. Tie a triple bow and affix just above the bell using 3D glue gel. 

4 Add self-adhesive sparkles into the centres of each of the snowflakes then add glue to the reindeer’s antlers and cover in Snowflake Flurry Sparkelicious glitter to finish. 

 

                                                                        

I hope you've enjoyed making this fabulous card, designed by the amazing DT member Rebecca, today, it's certainly got us in the Christmas mood!

What a good idea. Easy to do but will, I’m sure, be very effective. Hope to get some done to hang on the Christmas tree.

Jackie Pearson,

Ooh this looks like a fun festive make, which I would definitely love to try. Thanks for the inspiration 😊🥰xx
