Sorry to one reader as I did forget to post this till now. I made another creation for the
All of my solid card stock I use is American Crafts Card stock and I will list colors I used as I go.
I used the J from 3d Letters Kit cut at the size it imports.I also cut an extra middle piece and cut off the sides to cover up the snowflakes I added later. I used pool color for the slide. I stamped and embossed the side pieces with white snowflakes and white embossing powder. I use Versamark for embossing in my opinion it works the best. I used a standard hole punch to punch holes in the side pieces for the wooden dowel I would use later. Please don't do as I did, make the wholes before you put the one side on and realize you need to make your holes. Yup that is all me. LOL I embossed on the accent pieces and not the sides of the J also.
Cut the snowflake tops only from Kate's Holiday Silhouettes, the presents and peppermint card. I use white, then bent the flat side so that I could glue that to the slide then I glued the extra that cuts out to the end of the first snowflake. I cut about 5 of those but use your artistic eye for what you would like. then I used the J2 piece and cut the edges of that would connect to the j peices and covered up the white flat part of the snowflake.
Cut 2 of the Support for the Ferris Wheel from Summer Street Carnival at : 6.583 H
Cut 6 of the support 3 at: 6.268 H glue three together to each outer support on the inside like Mary does just to give it strength. Since I wasn't adding much weight I didn't do more than that. I cut that out of Lagoon color as it was a closer match to the Echo Park Christmas paper I had with snowflakes on it but use whatever you have that you like. The Accents were cut at:6.020H and the bottom piece was cut at:6.281h the liner was cut at:3.105 H. Glue the support together as Mary instructs in the video for Summer Street Carnival and then I cut a dowel about 6 inches long and painted it red. While it dried I made the Poinsettias from Kate's Holiday Silhouettes in the extras file. I made two and cut them at the same time. Petals are cut at :4.784 H The leaves are cut at 2.584 H I cut slits in a bit to the center of each flower to make it easier to shape the leaves better and inked the edges of the leaves with green and the petals with red but I think both would have looked better if I had done it with a slightly darker color than the paper. color for the leaves was Pine and the petals was my favorite crimson. I used red small pearls from Michael's for the centers. I cut .75H circles from the shapes menu on the Sure cuts a lot. and glued them to the sticks on each end after putting the J on and then through the wholes on the support. Then I glued the flowers onto the circles. I used my hot glue gun as that made it hold together better. I cut ferny pieces from the 3d wintergreen's to make it look like snow on the slide and to just make it look cute. Those where cut from white at 4.607 H. All the pieces for the tickets were imported at once select all and sized to 2.273H glue together and hot glue on where you like if you so desire. The tree was from the Christmas ornaments kit and sized at 6.270 H as before import all your pieces and select all then you should get all the pieces at that size. I had some pretty snowflakes I got from Michael's that I glued to each to make the topper then squirted iridescent clear stickles on the tree. It does not say what kind it is but it was a 1oz bottle.I hot glued that to the edge of the back of the stand and some of the leaves to the side for stability. The penguin body is the slipper from Clara's Christmas eve kit. and was cut at 3.590 H I didn't but the accents on as I felt they were not necessary. Then the penguin"face" is from Christmas cuddly friends and was cut at 3.277 H. I imported the black first and that is the size I went with then I sized all the other pieces to fit it but it is better to size it all at once and keep checking the main piece to see if that is the size you want. I used black, white, crimson, wave and apricot for the colors then used pink chalk for the cheeks. The "sign" was made using the Christmas ball in the extras file from Kate's Silhouette cut at 2.155 H out of pool color. Then the white circle is cut at 1.333 H. I cut the topper out of some sliver paper I had at: .517H then added some sliver ribbon stuff I had in my sewing stash. for the bow. I wrote the words penguin slide on there and the 10cents or 10 fishes. So I think that is everything. Mary has some amazing files and I love that you can do soooo much with them. That is part of the reason I love the challenges this way I can start my brain thinking. Thanks for stopping by and reading this long mess. I hope you can understand it all and if you make one please post it on SVG Cuts Facebook page I would love to see your take on it. Here is a link to get you onto their page and I will try to get one that will take you straight to some Christmas goodness. http://www.svgcuts.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=3561_1&URLjx=http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=213
