Holiday Hints: Mixed Media Votive Sleeve
Beautiful handmade holiday home décor makes its debut today…
You can even take advantage of negative die cut space to create shapely windows.
Measure and score panels on a strip of cardboard (leaving a gluing tab) to fit the glass jar. Die cut a snowflake into each panel. Paint and create a mixed media collage with Christmas Notes, Blushing Berries and Season’s Wishes. On the backside, adhere a piece of vellum over each die cut window. Fold into shape and glue. Embellish with a die cut from Scrolls.
And the holidays are never complete without some baking…
For today’s projects, Elizabeth had the following Penny Black items on her art table (and kitchen counter!)…
SHOP: 4345K Christmas Notes, 4355F Blushing Berries, 30-201 Season’s Wishes, 51-013 Scrolls, 51-015 Snowflake Trio

Great ideas for the kitchen and Christmas too thanks for sharing.
Two great ideas, love the colours in the candle holder.
Fabulous projects Elizabeth you have given me an idea to make a snowflake negative so I can add cocoa shapes to the top of my coffee and hot chocolate!
The colours are wonderful on the luminary & I love the sense of verdigris created by the juxtaposition of the golden scrolls & the greyish-blue collage. I particularly like the way the die-cut scrolls echo the shape of the Blushing Berries stamping.

Elizabeth is so creative! Just LOVE that votive sleeve – absolutely gorgeous!
Elizabeth, your ideas are always great! It makes me want to sit down and create! (Except I’m at school, “studying” in between classes.).
Keep the creativity coming!
Oh for crying out loud! Using the stencil for the powdered sugar just blew me away! LOVE the votive sleeve & since I’ve been saving all my thin cardboard (like cracker boxes) I’m ready to give it a go!
Your style is so unique compared to other folks I
have read stuff from. Thanks for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I’ll just
book mark this page.
