I’m thrilled to share 24-284 Holiday Trees and S4-285 Nested Mittens with you!


Using My Mind's Eye, The Merry Days of Christmas papers, cut/emboss S4-284 2010 Holiday Trees #3 (#1 is the smallest). Cut/emboss S4-284 2010 Holiday Trees #2 with a coordinating patterned paper.

Stack and adhere the trees as shown. Position S4-092 Stars Five #1 (the smallest in the set), cut side down onto the stacked trees. Tape the die template in place. Cut/emboss in the Wizard™.

Cut/emboss, from two different patterned papers, the S4-241 Jumbo Scalloped Borderabilities® Petite. Cut cardstock to the size of the background magnetic sign (but don't adhere it to the sign yet), layer with a thin mat, and coordinating pattern paper. Adhere Borderabilities layers. Place sticker sentiment towards bottom of patterned paper.

Gather lace with straight pins and stitch trim as shown.

Using Zip Dry Paper Glue, adhere cardstock to magnetic sign.

Next, adhere all layers of patterned paper and trim. Make magnetic buttons with Nikki Sivils buttons attached to small magnets with Glue Dots.

In bottom left corner of magnetic sign adhere the Holiday Trees die cut.
