Happy New Year's Eve!! Do you ever get that itch for something new in
your home decor? I knew that I wanted something that I could keep out
year round on top of my computer armoire. I was really inspired by Betsy's winter lantern, and this I came up with.
I
started by putting the frame together except I left the lid off. I also
did not use the inside divider. After a coat of black gesso was dry, I
cut apart the pieces of the Wrought Iron Set (contact store if you need
to have this in your grasp!) and attached them to only three of the
sides. Once the glue dried. I painted the entire thing in black gloss
paint. After that, I attached velum paper to the sides that had the
wrought iron pieces on it. I left the back open so I could easily reach
in to turn the light on.
The
top of the lantern is a 3x3 bagatelle box. I attached some of the
pieces of the wrought iron to give it a little bit of a lift. The reason
I wanted it raised up a bit was so I could place a second
battery-operated tea light under it. I also painted this part with the
black gloss paint.
Pearl beads were attached to the bottom of the lantern.

Mittens! A DT Project for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts
Today I have two mitten ornaments to keep you "warm." I had to keep
these little guys under wraps until after Christmas since they were
gifts. To start off the projects, I used a mitten for the base from the
Mitten Micro Mini Album.
For my "Let it Snow" mitten, paper from my stash was adhered with glue. Once dry, I used an emery board to file the paper down to match the mitten. You would think I would have learned by now how to use a scissors! The edges were then inked with brown. Once that dried, I used my Wink of Stella pen over the top. The "let it snow" from Winter Shape Set was heat embossed with different blues and whites. The snowflake was treated with glitter glue. A double layer of lace, pearl trim and organza ribbon finish this one off.
The next mitten was for a co-worker who is at the 3-year mark of betting breast cancer. For this one, I did the same as above, but used the Wink of Stella pen over the entire mitten, not just the edge. A single layer of lace trim peaks out from under a layer of three snowflakes, one from my stash and the other two are from the Snowflake Shape Set. Both the chipboard snowflakes were heat embossed. I finished the layer off with a plastic, pink awareness ribbon. The oval "live" is from the Word Stackers 1 collection and was heat embossed as well.
