Make Christmas tree napkin rings for your holiday table. #svg #freesvg #papertemplate
These are festive quick and easy Christmas Tree napkin rings. They will add a touch of Christmas color to your table decor. With just a few materials you can have a table setting full of them in no time. What a great project to get the family or the children involved in crafting. I used a personal cutting machine but I have included a template to use for cutting out by hand as well.
Load the SVG file and cut each shape from the appropriate colored paper. Cut as many as you need for your table.
Using the template and scissors:
Cut the appropriate shapes from the corresponding colors. Cut as many as you need for your table.

Craft a Santa box for gift giving, decor, or as an ornament. It is so cute!
with CutCardStock
It is so fun to craft for the holidays. I am such a Santa fan so I made this Santa gift box. You can fill it with a gift or sweets. Add a ribbon and hang it on your tree for an ornament. It can also be used as a decor piece.
I created this free SVG file to share with you as a part of the CutCardStock design team.
The card stock used for the Santa Box is Habanero and is weighted at 80# cover. I also used Basis in white and pink.
Using a Cricut Maker, I cut and scored the card stock.
Video Tutorial:
Fold the large red shape on all the score lines, folding them in the same direction. Once done, glue the tab to form the box. I used tacky glue.
Glue the facial pieces onto the box. I chose to antique them beforehand using Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo. I also used pink chalk to create rosy cheeks. The mustache was placed using foam tape to show the difference from the beard.

Make a paper ornament with a free SVG file and cardstock from CutCardStock.
with CutCardStock
It is so fun to craft for the holidays. This ornament is a beautiful addition to your tree but would also make a great hostess gift for those holiday parties you are invited to attend. You could stylize the surface design to suit the receiver.

The card stock used for the ornament is Bonsai and is weighted at 80# cover. CutCardStock has a ton of different colors to choose from.
I chose to create a visual texture on the surface of the cardstock. I began by stamping, then color smooshing, and finally ended by spraying with DIY shimmer spray.

It’s time to make a card from your leftover elements.
When you craft and save all your little bits and leftovers, there comes a time when you need to use them. This card is made from a collection of leftover pieces. I chose to coordinate the elements with similar colors for this card.
Using The Works Board, I have gathered my collection of leftover elements. All I need to do is glue them all into place.

What a fun time of the year to create. As the summer weather turns cooler the colors change to an autumn palette. This DIY mask can be worn for Halloween or made as a decorative piece to hang. If you change the color or eliminate some of the pieces you can totally change the look and feel of the mask. Create in all white and you’d have a beautiful winter owl.

Video Tutorial:
I chose the colors from the Basis line, weighted at 80# cover, and come in a variety of different colors.
Cutting this file on a Cricut Maker, I set it to cut 100# cardstock.
All the pieces are cut and ready to assemble. I set the width of the file to 7.5″ to fit comfortably on the 8.5 x 11″ pieces.
I wanted to add some detail and depth to the mask so I chose to ink blend the pieces with Distress Oxide. Then I worked the pieces with a ball tool to add some actual dimension.
From this angle, you can see the dimension and a close-up of some of the ink blending. Adding a bit of elastic is all that is needed in order to wear the mask.
A perfect fit!

Make a beautiful paper pocket with products from Gina K.
with Gina K
This paper pocket was fun to make using stamps and ephemera from Gina K. The pocket can be added to a journal, used for a gift card, or a special note. I personally like it as a stand-alone piece to be used for a special inclusion.

Such a well-known name in paper crafting, I feel honored to have Gina K sponsor a blog promotion with Designer Craft Connection. Visit the DCC website to see all the projects that were made with Gina K.
Gina K sent these beautiful products for this post. The stamp set Never Loose Hope, and the Ephemera Pack, Watercolor Florals coordinate well together.
I began with the butterfly stamp and embossed it in gold with embossing powder from Emerald Creek.
After fussy cutting the butterfly out, I painted it using stamp pad ink.
I made a pocket out of cardstock and used another stamp from Gina K in the corner. Measurements for cutting and folding the pocket along with the complete tutorial are in the video tutorial below.
