For today's projects, I'm sharing some ho, ho, holiday FUN!
A couple stamp & die sets from Paper Sweeties along with some adorable patterned paper and stickers from Doodlebug (links to products in gallery below)!
Be sure to scroll down to grab the coupon for our end of year BLOWOUT SALE!
And I also created a coordinating 3-D house using a paper mache box from the craft store and all of these yummy goodies ...
How CUTE is Mrs. Claus with her delicious candy cane!
And, of course, Santa is popping out of the chimney 🙂
I covered the box with patterned papers and embellished with stickers ...
... added vellum to the windows so I could put a flame free candle inside to light this sweet house up at night!
And the addition of some chunky glitter for 'snow' finishes this darling cottage off!
How cute would an entire village of these little houses be all decorated differently with coordinating papers? Note to self: next year!
And one final project ... you'll remember the Halloween theme frame I created with Doodlebug stickers -- well, I did the exact same thing with Christmas theme stickers to change for the current season!
