Christmas Cookies!

Hi crafty friends, Debbie here! It’s Christmas in July Release day here at Pixi Dust Designs! I’m so excited for this release, I mean how could you not be with it being Christmas! Okay, maybe the Grinch! I knew right away I wanted to play with the Santa & Elf Topper Dies, so I special ordered some Christmas Cookies. I think the toppers with the cookies makes them a extra special

 treat!

So let’s get started with the Santa & Elf Topper dies! And let’s not forget the Snowman, yes I got a little creative with the die and a few from my stash.

For my first topper I went with Santa. I went in and did my die-cutting add a darker dye ink to the edges of the card stock for some added dimension. For the handle of the topper is used the previously released Interchangeable Oval Bracket dies. I assembled him and he was looking so jolly but he needed some spectacles! In the new Mrs. Claus Kitchen Dies I thought would be the perfect size for Santa, just a bit too small. So I went through my Pixi Dust Design stash and found some using the previously released Bunny Box Dies. I die-cut it out of metallic silver and adhered it with liquid glue!

 Next, is the Elf Topper Dies. Same as before I die-cut out the elements and add a darker dye ink to the edges for dimension and giving him rosy cheeks. For this topper is used the Interchangeable Bracket Dies for the handle. To add the cookie in a 4X6 cellophane bag to the topper I just used double sided adhesive, works great!
