Twelve Days of Christmas Project Idea - Day 11 - December 11, 2010

How to create Paper Wreath:

Cut (6) 12" x 12"sheets of Cheerful Christmas Addition paper in half, then cut 1" x 6" strips.

Fold the strips over being careful not to make any creases. Staple the strips to the styrofoam, overlapping 1/4 to 1/2 of the paper loop before it.

Do this until you fill your wreath, tucking in extras if you missed a spot. Sometimes I even folded the loops up a little, once it was stuck to the wreath to make it look fuller.

Add a ribbon to hang!

Twelve Days of Christmas Project Idea - Day 8 - December 8, 2010

How to create Ball Ornaments:

Using the CCS Medium Circle Pattern (inside of template) and the Red Blade, cut 9 circles from assorted colors of Reminise pattern paper. (8 of these circles will be used for the ornament, the 9th will be used to create a triangle).

On one of the circles, draw an equalateral triangle (all three sides should be equal in length and the points will be touching the edge of the circle).

Trace the triangle onto the inside of each of the 8 other circles. Score, using the Rotary Scoring Blade, and fold along all the lines.

Using the Tape Runner, join one flap each from two circles - triangles should point in the same direction. Using the same technique, adhere the flaps of two more circles to these two, forming what will be the top. Make the bottom in the same way, adhering all of the flaps.

If desired, you can use Precision Point Adhesive to glue together any large gaps where the flaps meet.

Use a needle and thread to create a small hole and hang from the thread.

Finished size: Approximately 3" in diameter

How to Create Lollipop Ornaments:

Using the CCS Large Circle Pattern (inside of template) and the Blue Blade, cut 2 circles from the Reminisce pattern paper (you will use these for the front and back of the ornament).

Trim (2) 2" x 12" strips of matching pattern paper.

Fold over one strip of paper 1/2". Flip over and fold again 1/2" so that the paper starts looking like an accordion. Continue folding this way for the entire length of paper. (For more precise folds you can use your Scoring or Perforating Rotary Blade. I used the Perforating Blade.)

Repeat accordion fold technique on the second strip of paper.

Place the end of one accordion strip onto the end of the other strip, overlapping one or two folds. Adhere using Tape Runner.

Twist the other ends of the accordion strips around. You may have excess length that you'll want to cut off, depending on how "tight" you want your folds to appear. Use the Tape Runner to hold the ends together.

Now, squish the circle and try to make the center hole as small as possible. Put hot glue around the center, getting inside the accordion grooves as best as you can.

Adhere one of the previously cut circles over the hot glue, centered. Repeat with the back side. Apply a sticker to the front, using Foam Squares.

Use a needle and thread to create a small hole in the circle on the back of the ornament and hang from the thread.

Finish Size: Approximately 4-3/4" in diameter

Twelve Days of Christmas Project Idea - Day 7 - December 7, 2010

How to create Reminisce Christmas Tree:

Use the Brick Cardstock as a base. Wrap it around the styrofoam cone and adhere.

Once the cardstock is adhered, cut off all extra paper with All-Purpose Scissors so the cardstock is flush with the styrofoam cone.

Using the Circle Maker, begin punching 1-1/2" circles from various pieces of the Reminisce Christmas Additions. You should have approximately 55-60 circles total.

Using the Circle Maker, punch approximately (11) more 1-1/2" circles from the Reminisce Christmas paper, leaving a 3/4" straight edge on the bottom of each circle.

Peel 3 stickers from the sticker sheet (I chose the red "Merry Christmas", "Tis The Season", and "December 25" stickers) and apply to red pattern paper. Use the 1-1/2" Circle Maker to center over the sticker and punch to make them circular.

Starting at the bottom of the cardstock covered styrofoam, adhere the straight edge circles with Tape Runner adhesive, overlapping each circle by approximately 1/4" to cover most of the cardstock base.

On the second row start using the full circles and begin the row in between 2 circles from the bottom row. Alternate circles randomly for a colorful effect throughout the tree.

Adhere the sticker circles near the center, but not all together.

Continue adhering circles until they come to the top of the cone. The top row of circles should go above the cone by 1/2".

Free-hand cut (or trace) 2 stars from the red patterned paper. Adhere stars together using Foam Squares.

Place a straight pin in between the stars, securing with Foam Squares and stick into the top of the cone.

Finished Size: Approx. 13" tall

How to create Grapevine Wreath Ornament:

Wrap an entire strip of the 1/2" z-fold Very Merry Paper Ribbon around the entire 6” grapevine wreath. Create a fold at the end of the Paper Ribbon and adhere to the opposite end of the Paper Ribbon on the wreath.

Cut (2) 1/2" x 6” strips of silver metallic paper and fold one end in half, creating a loop and snip a reverse ‘V’ at the end. Adhere both pieces together creating a ribbon tie.

Cut (2) 1" x 12" strips of printed paper. Create a zig-zag fold every other direction. Adhere one end of each zig-zag strips together, creating one long strip.

Using the Circle Maker, cut (2) 1-1/4" circles from pattern paper. Form the zig-zag strips into a circle and adhere one side to one of the circles to secure zig-zag circle shape. Adhere the another 1-1/4" circle piece to the front. Apply an epoxy sticker and printed title ‘Happy Holidays’.

Trim three pattern papers to 1/4" x 8". Using the All-Purpose Scissors,curl both ends of each strip. Adhere the strips to the wreath.

Adhere the metallic ribbon ties using Foam Squares to the center of the 1/4" curled strips and adhere the zig-zag circle flower to the center of the metallic ribbon tie.

How to Create Wreath Card:

Using the Green Cardstock and the Medium Circle Pattern (outside of template) and the Green Blade, cut a 5-1/4" circle. This will be the card base.

With the present paper from the Cheerful Christmas Addition, cut a second circle same as above. Leaving the Circle Pattern in place, change to the Red Blade and cut a 2-1/2" circle from the inside of the template, making certain to leave a 3/4" section of the circle un-cut. This will be the piece that lifts up.

Place adhesive on the present side of the large circle, leaving the small circle without adhesive, and adhere to the Green Cardstock circle.

Using the Small Circle Pattern (inside of template) and the green side of the present paper from the Cheerful Christmas Addition, cut seven 1-1/2" circles using the Red Blade and nine 1” circles using the Blue Blade. Randomly adhere circles to the wreath, placing Foam Squares under four of the circles.

Trace the center circle cut with a Red Fine-Tip pen, making dashes then add the “season’s Greetings” Cheerful Christmas Addition Clear Title Stickers to the center.

With the Medium Circle Pattern (inside of template) and White Cardstock, cut a 2” circle using the Blue Blade. Using the Red Fine-Tip Pen, add dashes to the outer edge of the circle. Adhere the “ho ho ho!” Cheerful Christmas Addition Clear Title Stickers toward the top of the circle.

Trim a photo with Medium Circle Pattern (inside of template) to a 2-1/2" circle using the Red Blade. Adhere the photo to the inside of the wreath, under flap.

To create accordion flower, cut a 1” x 10” piece of the striped paper from the Cheerful Christmas Addition and score at every 1/2" mark. Accordion fold, adhere the two open ends to form a circle then press down in the center of the folds to form the flower. Adhere a button on top to hold the flower in place and adhere to the bottom right side of the card. Apply the leaf sticker from the Cheerful Christmas Addition to the side of the button.
