Iconic Christmas Home Decor

My mom bought me this glittery Christmas tree from the Christmas Tree Shop. I love that store! Many of my wreaths and pillows come from there too. What better way to decorate it than with the Iconic Christmas Bundle?!

This project came together quickly and easily with only a small scrap of cardstock. I cut out and colored three each of all of the icon stamps. Then I attached them to the tree with glue dots(R). I attached them only on the front so you wouldn't see the backs of the icon stamps.

 Here is a closeup of the icons on the tree. The glitter makes the tree stand out!

P.S. The Home Sweet Home plaque is from one of my dear customers. How sweet of her to think of me!

Iconic Christmas Reindeer Noses

For a cute treat for the kids, I made a reindeer nose treat holder. This is a seriously adorable idea! I have seen this all over the place in stores and online. The noses are chocolate covered malt balls. The red malted milk ball signifies Rudolph's shiny nose. Here is my version.

A 2-1/2" by 3-1/4" piece of Real Red cardstock scored in half forms the base of the tag topper. I used a word processing program to create a 1-3/8" by 2-1/4" text box with the words Reindeer Noses to the right side.

On the left is a 1-1/8" Garden Green scalloped circle with a 1" Whisper White circle layered on top. In the center I added the reindeer icon stamp from the Iconic Christmas Bundle. The reindeer is colored in with the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend and the Real Red Stampin' Write Marker. The embellishment is raised with a dimensional.

Iconic Christmas Cupcake Rosettes

My second project idea for Iconic Christmas are these rosette cupcake decorations. I served these mini chocolate cupcake with whipped cream icing at one of my last classes. What a fun way to serve a little decadent treat!

I used all of the small icon stamps - gingerbread man, reindeer, star, Santa hat, candy cane, and ornament, Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper, and the soon to be release 1-1/8" Scalloped Circle Punch.

Item #	Description	Retail (USD)	Release Date
146138	1-1/8” Scalloped Circle Punch	$16.00	01/03/2018
146139	1-3/8” Scalloped Circle Punch	$16.00	01/03/2018

Oh, yes! Scallop punches are coming back in the 2017 Occasions Catalog! There will be 2 sizes - 1-1/8" and 1-3/8" - great sizes for layering!

To create the rosettes, I cut a 3/4" x 12" piece of Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper. I used a variety of the patterns, but you can use all of the same paper. Rosettes are a fab way to use scraps or use up the last bits of Designer Series Paper.

 
I scored each of the Designer Series Paper strips every 1/4" on the Simply Scored Board. Then I accordion folded each strip and secured the ends with Tear and Tape.

To secure the center of the rosette, I used a low-temperature glue gun and a 3/4" circle of Garden Green cardstock on the front and on the back of the rosette. Hot glue is better in this case, I think. It is quicker to dry/cool than regular liquid glue.

The front of the rosette is decorated with a 1-1/8" scalloped Garden Green circle and a 1" Whisper White circle with an icon stamp. There is a hint of Clear Wink of Stella on the hat brim and pom pom.

A decorative wooden toothpick is attached to the bottom of each rosette to insert into each mini cupcake. Be sure to secure the toothpick to the back of a mountain fold with strong glue like a low-temperature glue gun or liquid glue. Adhering the toothpick to the back of a mountain fold creates a little pocket for the toothpick to nestle in.

These cupcake rosettes would also translate to a birthday party! In fact, in 9 days an iconic birthday bundle will debut in the 2018 Occasions Catalog! It's called Party Hat Birthday Photopolymer Bundle (Item #145960). I can't wait to share my ideas with you for Party Hat Birthday!

I hope you give these Iconic Christmas rosettes a try!
