A Waltzingmouse Christmas – November 2013 – Day 4

Paper Cone by Becca Feeken using Waltzingmouse Stamps - Compliments of the Season Two (close)
We’re cooking with Christmas on the front burner now!!  Welcome to Day 4 of A Waltzingmouse Christmas.  Today we’re sharing Christmas Decorations!!  As I have mentioned, I’m starting from scratch on my Christmas tree this year and I’m simply not finding the types of things I want locally so I’ve been playing around with a limited set of decorations and ornaments I can make myself.  One of the decorations I’ve had on my mind are the vintage cones that hang from the tree.  This one is large enough to hold a small gift and I have candy in this one.  For my skinny pencil tree I’d have to go much smaller, but I’m pretty much there!  For my square cone I’m using a regal looking stamp from Waltzingmouse Stamps called Compliments of the Season Two  Claire provides the digital cutting files for this set free ——> HERE.

WRBF-3993-2013

I simply cut the digital file in burgundy and embossed in gold then cut a matting layer from gold.   The luscious trim on the top is from A Gilded Life and a small piece of velvet ribbon threaded through jumbo eyelets gives me a way to hang it up.

    Oh so pretty Becca. Homemade is always so special. Is your cone from a die or just a pattern on paper? I do the rounded cones but like this for a change. Thanks for sharing,ReplyCancel

  • Karen WeddingNovember 21, 2013 - 9:46 am

    Ok, I’m going to claim stupidity, but what are the dimensions of the cone? How’d you make the cone? I would love to make one for each of the kids at Christmas time. Please share?!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    This cone is gorgeous! I have been toying around with making cones this year and your creation has definitely inspired me. I’m on my way to check-out the cutting file. Blessings to you ~ReplyCancel

  • Elizabeth LincolnNovember 21, 2013 - 12:06 pm

    These cones were often used in Victorian times to hold little flower arrangements or candies and they call them Tussie Mussies. This is really lovely. It would make a great wedding favour filled with sugared almonds.ReplyCancel
