There was almost too much inspiration in this photo and it took ages before I finally decided to focus my attention on spelling out the sentiment, the cute red nose on the "H", the red bow, the Ornament in place of an "O" and particularly the Santa hat - giving me an opportunity to use this NBUS Santa Hat border die! This lovely die was in last year's Gummiapan Advent Calendar, and despite making Christmas cards throughout the year, it's still taken me a year to get around to using it!
I cut it twice from red card stock and stacked these. Then cut it again from white card stock and snipped off the trim and bobble, then cut it again from white felt and again snipped off the trim and bobble - I added double sided tape to the back of the felt before cutting to make it easier to adhere it to the hat! I also blended some dark red alcohol marker in the creases of the hats for depth.
The "H"s were cut using the MFT Bottle Cap Letters set and the ornaments and bows were from a Love2Craft set. The tiny Rudolph noses were eyes from a snowman die that just happened to be handy at the time!
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you go away a little inspired! Your visits and comments are always a joy and always appreciated! And if you leave a comment, I’ll know you were here and how to find you!
