Holiday Sizzix Projects with DCWV

Anne Redfern is ALWAYS thinking up new and creative ways to use my Sizzix dies. This adorable mini wreath project is just to cute and CLEVER to boot! Strips of DCWV papers were wound around a wreath form Anne created herself and accented by pretty Poinsettia created using my Spring Leaves die. Yes, that’s right Spring leaves can be Poinsettia too.

Visit Anne’s Blog for a full tutorial on how to create this darling Mini Poinsettia wreath plus tips on how to use my Twist and Style Tool and create your own wreath form from upcycled materials!

Remember Nicole Wright’s Tree Lot Project from last Holiday season? Well, Nicole couldn’t resist adding onto that project with a Sizzix Travel Trailer all decked out in DCWV Cranberry Christmas papers. After all a tree lot NEEDS a trailer am I right? The fact that the trailer has actual working lights has sent me straight to holiday heaven!

Take some time to tree shop and have a look at both of Nicole’s inspired holiday creations new and old. This girl has a crafty bauble collection that would make Buddy the Elf jealous!

Julia Aston shares a gorgeous holiday gift topper project created with DCWV Cranberry Christmas papers and my Luggage Tag and Heart and Soul Flower Die. Julia has become a master at using the Heart and Soul Flower to create crisp and clean Holiday projects that you can create in a snap!

Pam made excellent use of cut outs included in the Cranberry Christmas stack to finish off her Holiday Banner with exquisite style. Dash on over to Pam’s Blog for a full tutorial.

Tracy Evans has a very merry mixed-media card tutorial for her second project. Last week Tracy shared a fantastic non-holiday mixed-media piece, but this week she’s mixing up a cup of holiday cheer! Tracy’s card background is also from the Cranberry Christmas stack from DCWV off set by inked papers embossed with my Waffle folder and topped off with a stenciled bauble and a string of star banner die cuts from the Vintage Travel Collection.
