My Paper Pine Cone

Inspired by all the wonderful paper trees and ornaments I have been seeing in "scrapland" and "stampville"... I thought I'd create a paper pine cone.

I wish I could tell you who makes this paper... I bought it at Target. It has a wonderful, flocked scroll/vine pattern. A 6" tall Styrofoam egg serves as the base. I used my Stampin' Up! oval punch to make the pine cone scales. I partially folded each oval to help give some dimension and tapered the size of the scales to a smaller oval close to the top of the egg. Small pins hold the scales in place.

Cutsie Christmas Clip!

Who wouldn't love this little clip! Use it to affix a gift tag to a ribbon... or place a magnet on the back and hang a note for Santa on your fridge!

Easy to make: I found the striped paperclips at an office supply store...BUT you could use a red sharpie to add striped to a white jumbo paper clip. The head is just a clear glass fishtank bauble. I stamped the face with classic ink on Whisper White Stampin' Up! Card Stock, then punched it out with my !/2 inch round punch. The circle is then glued to the bauble using Crystal Effects. The clip is also glued on with Crystal Effects. A little red Grosgrain ribbon scrap completes the look!

It's easy to make a bunch of these little sweeties! Enjoy!
