Santa and Mrs.Claus! Wall Decor

For this project I used Paper Dolls Dress Ups and Winter woodland Cartridges. For the paper dolls I used design studio and cut them at 16 inches. I only have a 12x12 mat so I had to cut them in 2 sections and glue together. I placed them on the mat in design studio and moved them around to get the pieces to match up. All the clothing and accesories were cut at 16 inches. They are made with cardstock and the eyes are the large google eyes. I inked all the edges and then did stitch marks with a white gel pen. The Merry Christmas was cut at 4 inches using the font from Winter Woodland and the snowflakes are also from that cartridge. The snowflakes are cut at 2 inches and 4 inches. I used white contact psper for the letters and snowflakes. They are places above the doorway in my living room. Enjoy!

I also cut the front using pattern paper to dress up the top part of the card. I inked the edges with brown ink and put diamond stickles on the white parts of the stockings.

Witch's Shoe/boot with cut file

I saw this in Paper Crafts Magazine and decided I needed to make one. I made an .svg file with the pattern to make the card easier to cut out. Using a machine to do the cutting is easier and faster. I used purple for the shoe and cut green stripes and then used purple glitter to glam it up. I used black ribbon on the top and the heel of the shoe. I used orange dots (Skittles on the Cricut Message Board) to look like buttons. I used orange paint on clear skittles and they came out great. I think it came out cute for my first attempt. Next time I think I will use patteren paper.

Here is the cut file for the witches boot, this card opens from the side not the top like others have made.
