G’day Stampers,

Today’s share is one we did in my volunteer class this afternoon.  In fact it was our last class for the year, so we had a bit of a little break up while creating something for our tree.

I’ve used all retired products for the project, which is a great way to use up all the lovely stuff that is still sitting on my shelves & can’t bear to part with as yet.  Anyhow, this is always the perfect time to use some of the retired products.

I created a Rosette from Whisper White CS & adhered strips of Crumb Cake & Cherry Cobbler Scalloped Tulle Ribbon to the centre.

I punched a large scallop circle in Whisper White CS with the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, 1 circle in Crumb Cake CS with the 2″ Circle Punch & 1 scallop circle in Whisper White CS with the 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch.  These were all layered together with the small scallop circle popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then created a doily from the Paper Doily Sizzlits (Retired) in Crumb Cake CS & adhered this to the top of the Ribbon Tulle.  The layered circles were adhered to the top of the doily.

I stamped 2 stars from the “Simply Stars” stamp set (Retired) direct onto Whisper White CS in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I cut around both stars creating a smaller star & adhering to the centre of the large star.  This was popped onto the Whisper White Scallop Circle with a Dimensional.

I printed “Merry Christmas” via MDS, cut it into the shape of a banner & adhered to the decoration.   A hole was punched in the top of the Rosette with the 1/8″ Handheld Punch & a piece of Cherry Cobbler Tulle thread through so that it could be hung from the Xmas Tree.

What decoration is complete without a little bit of bling?  I added a Basic Rhinestone Jewel to the centre of the star & randomly scattered them around the tulle.

Then for my Rosette, I repeated all the above to create the back.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’
