Holiday Mini Blog Tour Stop #19

Welcome to stop #19 on Stampin' Addicts' Holiday Mini Blog Tour. This year’s Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini is chalk full of stamps, embellishment, new product lines and so much more. And they will all be available starting September 1. I am excited to show you the Decor Element line that is featured in the catalog: Holiday Mix and Decor Blocks. Holiday Mix is available in Black, White, Chocolate, and Red. Each sheet has 27 different elements including the letters to spell out JOY, SNOW, and NOEL – all for $9.95.

In my first project, I used the blocks to make two different letter configurations. The blocks are 3” tall and come four to a package for $9.95. I used the same blocks for both projects and just flipped them to put the other word on another part of the block.

Recipe: Decor Elements Holiday Mix, Real Red; Decor Elements Decor Blocks; Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Real Red Card Stock; Merry Moments Designer Series Paper; Old Olive 1-1/4” Striped Grosgrain, Real Red Polka Dot Grosgrain, Old Olive 5/8” Grosgrain; Ticket Corner and Scallop Edge Punches; acrylic paint.

For this project, I recycled a frame I had already. The paper, blue snowflake and ribbon are inside, and I applied SNOW to the outside of the glass to give it a 3D look. I still might add a photo to this in the upper right corner, but can you believe I don’t have a single snow picture of with both my boys?

And remember how I said there are 27 images on each sheet? The possibilities are really endless with all the other images. I used some of them to decorate up these Christmas Ornaments:

If you come back on Tuesday, I will tell you how to turn clear glass ornaments into these gorgeous sparkly ornaments and have a chance for some blog candy!
