This month Eileen Hull's Inspiration Team is making projects for
Fall-idays - creations using Eileen's Sizzix Dies with any holiday
theme!
Today I've used Eileen's Embroidery Hoop Sizzix Die to make a Christmas Ornament! I made this using a tutorial over at Splitcoaststampers where they use a real wooden hoop and real burlap.
I cut the hoop out of white mat board, then cut it again out of a piece
of wood veneer that I used for the outside hoop. I cut a smaller circle
out of burlap patterned paper and adhered that in the center of the
hoop.
I cut a circle out of black card and white embossed the little mouse
with the mistletoe on his tail onto it. Since I wanted it to look like a blackboard
I didn't use my embossing buddy before inking so some of the white
stuck to other places looking like chalk smudges.
I layered the black piece to a red scallop edge circle. I die cut the
label and stamped the sentiment on it. I die cut and stamped the holly.
Everything is popped up on foam dots. Then I adhered some vintage lace
around the edge from the back and looped a piece of silver thread so I
can hang it up.

How very clever of you to make your own hoop!! You always amaze me. hugs.
Such a wonderful project Julia, I love the adorable little mouse! xx
It definitely looks like a chalkboard! Great idea - I'm always so focused on clearing off all of the smudges.
Neat card!
I thought this was a real embroidery hoop at first! What a great die! Love the little "chalkboard drawing"!
You are so creative and clever my friend! Love your framing with the embroidery hoop and all the textures and fun design of your very original Christmas wall hanging. TFS Julia. Hugs...
That's adorable - love the burlap "stretched" across the hoop.
