Day 6

Happy Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas project!!! Sorry mine is up so late, but today was one of those days! I hope you enjoy this little tutorial! It is one of my all-time favorite projects!!! I used October Afternoon Christmas paper and made the gingerbread pattern is my own creation!!!

Border Punch
Ink
Jute
Ribbon
Buttons
Embellishments


1. Cut 3 stars out of Chipboard and Cardstock.

















2. Glue cardstock stars to chipboard bases.
3. Cut stars out of patterned paper and then cut all the points off of the star as shown and distress with ink.
4. Trace the inside of the star onto your choice of corresponding patterned paper.



4. Cut ¾ inch strips of patterned paper and punch with a border punch and distress with ink.

5. Attach the border strips and the star points to each of the stars as shown.
