WOW..I've found one of my favorite star ...unfinished ...lol

Yesterday my secretary found one of my favorite star...old&unfinished....lol.... at the hospital warehouse...where all the Xmasdecor elements keep saved when Xmas celebration is over.
Then I hang it on the children's studio screen folding and took this picture:


it was made of hard cardboard...then stamped in white with a big  Rubberstampede swirl stamp...
 two of the points I made some golden marker swirls following the white stamped ones...others I glued some punched golden paper stars over the white swirls.
LOL...that picture remainds me a heavy "naïve" Xmas decor....a lot of texture and color at once...lol
Besides that she found a big victorian cherub element I made of hard cardboard (those days never could think about an electronic cut-machine...lol)
I'm sure that 6y ago I already loved recycling
I stamped the handcut cardboard with a large rubber stamp I carved from a 12X8 hard rubber plate.
First using some gold ink over the raw cardboard...and then an indian red ink....keeping the design a bit out the  registry...in order to give the cut out a sort of dimension....I guess.


cute reindeergiftbag

you need a regular brown paper bag,some brown/black&white and red cardstock, a pair of scissors, a gluestick and  a pair of velcro dots.
Fold the brown paper bag in half vertcally... taking care to not score it... and cut it out following the picture lightblue+pink dotted lines...
when you've finished you get a reindeer's face and pair  reindeer's ears.
Now fold the brown paper bag following the horizontal dotted line scoring it well...so the reindeer's face is looking to you. Unfold again and glue the elements:
reindeers antlers and ears....next... the velcro dots ( greenish yellow dots in the picture)
After the glue is dried...fold the brown paper bag again and glue the eyeballs( black &white) and at last take all 10 red paper circles , fold in half...and glue one by one... to each other...in a way you finish with a red sliceformed hemisphere...let it dry... then attach the first and the last red circle halves to the reindeer's face. The red nose is done.
