Christmas Curio Cabinet

Hi all! I have been dreaming of making a Christmas version of the Graphic 45 Halloween curio cabinet I made last year and I finally sat down with some of the gorgeous papers from DCWV's Cranberry Christmas collection and put one together. I'm so happy with how it turned out!

The upper part of the cabinet is made from the largest sized die from Eileen Hull's Blocks die (the die itself has three sizes on it). They create the perfect little cubbies to fill with all these Tim Holtz Christmas goodies.

The bottom of the cabinet is created with Eileen's Candy Drawer die - one of my all-time faves! You can find the original tutorial HERE.

Today is the last day of the incredible sale over at Sizzix and the dies from Eileen are a steal! It's also the last day to get the new Eileen Hull Die Cutting Magic eBook for the special price of $2.97. I apologize to my email subscribers who won't get this in time. I tried to get this finished up yesterday but I couldn't stop decorating! UPDATE! I just got an email that says the Sizzix sale has been extended through Tuesday! Yay! They've also added more products to the sale. Check them all out through the product links below, or click on the banner:

Hi all! I have exciting news to share with you! Eileen Hull and Bella Crafts Publishing have put together a brand new eBook featuring projects from the Inspiration Team, plus many other talented artists.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to my American followers! I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday. I wanted to share a quick post with my version of Tim's November tag. I thought they would be adorable as place cards on my Thanksgiving table so I whipped a few up last night!

I think my favorite thing about my place cards is this adorable little pearl acorn. When I saw the acorn charm on Mylissa's version of Tim's tag, I was inspired to make one of my little pearl acorns using the new pearl baubles. I love that there is no hole to hide like a regular pearl bead. I used caramel alcohol ink to color it, then glued it into a real cap. I screwed an eye screw into it so that it could be hung from the twine. So cute - thanks for the inspiration, Mylissa! :)

Another fave is the little fork, which was cut using an older Karen Burniston die. It's not available through Sizzix anymore, but I did find someone selling it on Amazon (link below). I cut it from foil-covered chipboard and painted it with black distress paint to give it a tarnished look.

The rest of my card was done following Tim's instructions, other than I used the distress spray stains and a water brush to color my leaf - I'm horrible with  markers and this way is so much easier for me!

The supplies I used can be found at Amazon, Sizzix, and Simon Says Stamp via the links below. BTW, the Alphanumeric set is on sale at Sizzix right now for an amazing price - it's a great time to snap it up!
