Christmas 3D scene!


This was a fun one, and only took about 15 minutes! But it isn't foldable, so it turned out to be less of a pop up card, as originally planned, and more of a 3D pop up scence.



All images were cut from the Christmas Cheer cartridge. The trees in the back were embossed to add texture, the mustache and hat trim were applied with pop dots to give it some demenstion. I used paper tabs behind the Santa's and two of the trees to make them stand out from the trifold. The stars are strung from the ribbon and attached behind the santas with glue dots.

More paper doll scenes

My niece requested more paper doll background scenes for Christmas. I have been going crazy making these sets for her. I LOVE the paper doll cartridge! She has a full set of paper dolls and also a fairy tale castle scene.
(see link: http://carrieannscreations.blogspot.com/2010/04/paper-doll-extravaganza.html)


I was hit with the Christmas spirit and decided to make a nativity with all the characters as well. I love this one. I think I am going to make one for my daughter as well.


Here is a glance at the back of the trifold scene. I think I might have explained how I make these in the link above.

I think I will do a tutorial sometime about how I assemble these....
:-)

Non-paper project

At times I set down the paper and glue and pick up another material to craft with. I have been wanting to make new stocking to go with my Americana/Primitive decor for quite some time now. I found the time and in a few hours over two days time this is what came out.
