It's Day One of Visions of Sugarplums! So glad you've come by. Settle in - this is a long post, maybe get a coffee or tea, and enjoy! We've got quite a line up of talented bloggers sharing Christmas inspiration!
First up, I've got the cutest Christmas Wreath! Isn't this fun - it's made from a mason jar ring and crepe paper. It reminds me of projects we did in grade school - wrapping crepe paper around the eraser end of the pencil to make the "poofs." And that's exactly what I did!
You could use this as package decoration that the recipient could take off and hang on their tree. Or like me, hang it on a desk drawer. Love, love that sweet little deer!
Here's a video showing just how easy it is to make:
Next up: the most adorable vintage Scotties!
I was lucky enough to pick up this cute vintage card from an etsy store. You can download the scotties below.
I've also got a darling Scotty tag (he was on the inside of the card) and a very cool box for you to download. The papers are fabulous! I found them at Yellow Lemon Studios. The box would be perfect for a gift card or small gift and a sweet note. You can download the tag and box below. Can you think of someone who would love to get this cute little box?
Here's a video showing how to put the box together:
I'll have one more project with these Scotties next Sunday - on the day we reveal all the winners for this year's Visions of Sugarplums!
Okay, one more project for today. I am so in love with this card. Those kids looking out the window at Santa are the cutest things ever! You can download these darling kids below. And the card itself is very cool. It's a sliding easel card.
Look at it from the side - love how this works!
This is a look at the part that you pull to make the easel fold up. So fun!
Here's the video on making a Sliding Easel Card:

ReplyDeleteWell good morning and THANK YOU to you. That bombardment of vintage wonder was fabulous. LOVE your mason ring wreath, your Scottie images and those precious children. Your slider card added so much to that image and how you really grounded it into the card by adding the wreath and tree looks wonderful! Thanks for kicking off day with such amazing inspiration!

Wow, all your creations are beautiful and a lot of work put into them. I luv the very elegant wreath, and made with a mason ring, and to think I only canned with them. And the sliding easel card is so adorable with the children watching Santa on a neighbors roof. Great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOh my...I just love everything! That wreath is so pretty...definitely want to make one or more of those! (I just bought a deer like that yesterday! (I have a jar or shadow box project in mind for it...lol...I can't decide...and the Scotty....adorable...and the kids ... More adorable! That easel card is so pretty! Planning on hopping along and taking the challenge. Thanks for the fun and freebies and chance to win prizes.....my day is set!
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoyed the hop! So much inspiration... now back to work!!
Deletesuch sweet projects! I love it all! that wreath is so sweet! I love the colors and it could be used for so many things. I have rusty rings I have saved that we can no longer use for canning, so this would be a perfect way to use them. I love the card too. Oh my! So glad you made it into an easel as it needs to be set out to enjoy all season long.
ReplyDeletethank you for the freebies and thank you for letting me play along this year. I am having a blast and have been so inspired by everyone's posts. Can't wait til tomorrow!
