Merry Christmas Earl – Layout with Sugarplum Wishes

Kelly Made It, , , , 9 Comments

Hey hi friends!  Welcome to my newest Cut File Design Team layout with Sugarplum Wishes by Paige Taylor Evans. 

These two Nutcrackers are bringing loads of gifts and a Christmas wish too.

I wanted their uniforms to be similar but not entirely matching!

First, I cut out four Nutcrackers, available in Paige’s, 25 Christmas Cut Files 2019 Bundle using White AC Cardstock. Why four? I love to stack at least two together, to give the cut file a chunkier look. I learned this tip from my friend, Zsoka Marko. You’d love her projects, check them out!  You might not be able to see it here, but there’s more depth to the cut file by doing this.  I paper-backed these guys mostly with the 6×8 paper pad.  The smaller patterns are so perfect for this cut file. I actually used one of the greeting cards too. Have you noticed there’s a few more patterns on them? The Nutcracker on the right, has aqua boots, hat and trims from one of the cards.

I’ve used two colours of Enamel Dots for each Nutcracker as buttons on their festive attire. How awesome to get so many in a package. Their hats also sport some of the Mini Puffy Stickers 🙂 

They’re carrying a Christmas greeting decorated with the foiled ribbon and the cutest reindeer ever! I want 10 more just like him!  My favourite part are all the gifts and goodies in their other hand. Each bring along a stocking full of flowers, candy and toys.

The pretty pink background is Paper 3, while wordy Paper 4 anchors all the colour along the borders.  You’ve seen me do this before, but I repeat it often because I love it, a sparkly row of sequins are also sewn in along the border. 

Wondering who Earl is?

He’s the cheeky Elf On A Shelf that snuck in to stand with this jaunty collection of Nutcrackers at Nadines house, LOL. His little face always looks like he’s up to something. To dress up my photo, I added a tag from the Sticker Book, along with one of the sweet Paper Clip Charms in the collection. 

I hope you found some ideas to add to your own pretty Sugarplum Wishes projects.

Thanks so much for being here!

    1. hello sweet Lavinia 💛 So nice of you to stroll through the crafty halls of mine. Thank you for your visits and kind message too. You’re probably very busy getting all your fall crops in order. How’s the wine making these days? Also, how’s your health, I hope you’re blessed with a good recovery. 💛💛

      1. Hi Kelly, the birds, bees and wasps left us with plenty of grapes for winemaking again this year. Rick also got more insect netting, which helps. I am doing well, Rick is having some foot problems, and as you know, we had to have dear old Mr. Nano cat put to sleep in August.

        Autumn is finally here. We had a touch of frost this morning, but hopefully not enough to bother the garden.
