Sugar Nellie - Santa Door Hanger

- Hello Sugar Fans -

Good morning everyone, well it's definitely getting cooler and the weather is swiftly moving into autumn. I love autumn, but I don't like the darker evenings. At least I will be having a little breather from the cold, as I'm off on my late summer holiday very shortly...and it's somewhere nice and warm :)

Anyhoo, it's Wednesday and my turn to share a fabulous Sugar Nellie project with you.  This week I thought I would make something festive, so here is a Christmas door hanger, I know, I know I said the 'C' word again...sorry!  For the hanger I've used the sweet digi stamp 'Little Helpers' from Funkykits. 

 

 

  

Here's What I Did
Firstly I printed the digital image and my message 'Santa Please Stop Here' directly onto some colouring card stock, and then cut it into a rectangle measuring 4" x 10".  I coloured the image with Copic pens and matted it onto gold holographic card and then onto red card. Next I die cut a circle in the centre top.

I die cut 2 scalloped frames by using a scallop and plain circle die. These were then glued into place on the front and back of hanger around the hole - this was done to reinforce the aperture.

To finish off I added die cut white mini snowflakes, glittered up Santa's fur trim and added a ribbon bow.

Footnote --- Please beware that if you try to die cut the circle at the top through the 3 layers of card like I did. I had a terrible job cutting though everything, and it took approx 6 attempts and it still didn't cut though properly, plus it made awful crease marks on the hangers. So next time I will definitely die cut a circle on each layer separately, and then assemble.
