Here is an idea for a centerpiece for your Christmas table. I was surprised how easy it was to turn the 2-dimensional die cuts into a 3-dimensional project. The idea for this project came when I discovered that Stampin'UP!'s chalk marker works on glass and its permanent! If you haven't played with Chalk Markers you really need to.
I love this ornate Santa's Sleigh and reindeer dies, the dies look great on cards and scrapbook pages. Plus there's a matching stamp set! and you can save 10% when you buy them together as a bundle.
Today's challenge - going from 2D to 3D. Once I figured out how to make the sleigh and reindeer stand up the project actually went together rather quickly, it just looks like it took a lot of time. And it gets a much appreciated "wow" from friends who see it.
About the Base:
- Inverted wine glass set on a circle of black paper (to help show-off the snowflakes)
The flat bottom of the glass is the surface for the sleigh - Hand drawn snowflakes made with Stampin'UP!'s Chalk Marker. Its permanent and doesn't wash off!
- I used a large piece of White Glimmer Paper as the "snowy" base
- To support the deer and the sleigh so they'd stand up, I used long 1" wide strips of paper, scored and folded to make an open rectangle. I found it needed a really strong adhesive to stay together, Stampin'UP!'s Fast Fuse worked well.
- The gold cord trim was held in place with glue dots and the little red bows hid the glue dots from view.
