Day 4: 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop


Welcome & Thank you so much for stopping by the blog hop today for DAY 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.

For Day 4 project I decided to go back to the Print & Cut feature on my Cameo.  Well, Since I enjoyed it so much the first day, I figured I'd give it a go again.  
The base of the card is from a card base pad of paper by DCWV that I purchased from Michael's.  

I printed out the "Merry Christmas Santa" circle out on my printer and then cut it out on the Cameo Silhouette.

The scalloped circle is from Spellbinders die I cut out of another card base from the same paper pad by DCWV.  With some foam dots, I pop dotted up the round circle on top of the scalloped circle. 

I adhered the scalloped circle to the card base with foam dots.
From the top center of the fold to the top center of the scalloped circle I punched 2 little circles about 1/8 of an inch.  I laced some silver cording through both holes (I secured the cording to the inside of the card with some scotch tape) This is so the main focus looks like an ornament.  

I ran some silver stickles along the edge of the circle to add a little shimmer to the main focus of the card.
With some silver pipe cleaner I tied it like a bow and glued it to the top of the scalloped circle.  I hot glued the silver bell to the center of the pipe cleaner.

When the card was all finished I trimmed down the edges to fit just the "ornament" and rounded the bottom corners with my WRMK corner chomper.
