Dot & Whimsy

My wooden tray measures 7"X18".  I first cut the blue snowflake paper to 7" wide and added it first.  From the Lily White Buffalo Check and the multi-snowflake papers, I cut the pieces as shown above.  I free-handed the shapes to form three different snowy hills.  The pieces were then layered on to the blue paper with foam adhesive to give dimension!

Next, I outlined the snowy hills with chunky twine and then staged the die-cut pieces and attached them with foam adhesive or glue. 

The sticker sentiments from the This & That Sticker Sheet were added to each cluster.

I finished the design off with various Sprinkles and Gems!

I would love to find a square size...maybe two...and create another collage to hang along with this one!  I just love the way it turned out :)

Here is a peek at a few of the supplies that I've used:

To begin, I've used a battery-operated LED tea-light that actually

has a timer included.  The timer is perfect for switching on in 

the evening and it automatically turns off after 6 hours.  

I wanted to add the light inside the top of the box, so I first traced

around the tea-light onto the inner box.  

Next I carefully cut the traced circle out using an Xacto knife.

Before attaching the light, I made sure that it fit nice and flush

inside of the hole.

I used a strip of the Extreme 1/4" Double Sided Tape and wrapped

it around the base of the tea light and then placed it inside the opening.

From the Christmas Magic Collection are these fun journal cards.

The package comes with two of each design, so it's perfect for

layering!  I chose a couple of the cards and then trimmed around

smaller details of one card to layer onto the full rendition.  

After making a triangular base from a piece of patterned paper,

I used foam squares to layer the cut-out pieces onto the fuller pieces.

After covering the inside with some of the patterned paper, I 

attached the journal card of choice and then layered on the

matching cut-outs with foam.  In the fore-front I added the

little triangular accent that was made above.  

With the box closed and the light on you can see how beautifully

3D everything looks!  I attached some bottle-brush style trees 

with 3D Adhesive Dots, as well as a sentiment to hide the 

triangle base.

A bow and large sentiment sticker were attached to the front

along with a jingle bell.

Perfect addition for a little one's room or an end table and 

certainly a fun conversation piece :)
