If you’ve never used a manual die cutting machine with embossing dies, then you are missing out. They are so fun to use, and that is what I used to make this simple Paper Christmas Garland.

Paper Christmas Garland Supplies:

  • Ornament Embossing Dies
  • Sand-it Gadget
  • Christmas Colored Paper with Light Core
  • Christmas Baker’s Twine
  • Glue Dots
  • Cuttlebug
  • Cuttlebug Embossing Mat
  • Cuttlebug Magnetic Cutting Mat (optional)

Once you have your supplies together, you’ll start by cutting and embossing your paper. Place your dies, face up on plate B. If you have a magnetic cutting mat, you’ll want to use that. Place your paper face down onto your dies. Place your embossing mat on top of that, followed by another plate B. Roll it through your Cuttlebug.

Pull your sandwich apart. Your ornaments should look something like this.

Pull your die cuts out of the dies. You’ll be able to feel the embossing and see it a little bit.

Use the Sand-it Gadget to lightly sand the top of your ornaments. This will bring out the embossed design. (If you used a solid core cardstock, it won’t bring it out like this. I used a white core cardstock.)

Lay out your ornaments in the design you want them in.

This would be so cute to hang from a mantel or shelf, or even put it on your Christmas tree. It’s quick and easy to make too!

What do you like to hang from your mantel at Christmas time? I don’t have a mantel, but I do have a shelf where I love to hang banners and garlands. We hang this project up on our kids Christmas tree.

    So glad I saw this post and read it.If we go into town tomorrow will be seeing if HL has that die set, hope so, can use my coupon if they do. Maybe Joann’s will if not. Your garland is so festive and just right, great aasorment and choice of papers.
    I have a Sizzix Big Shot which hasn’t been used in couple years maybe. I really enjoyed using it for long time but then got distracted from it wishing for a Cricut. Have had Cricut for while but was never able to get it installed, am digitally challenged.
    Not sure could afford to use it if I did get it installed.
    Always enjoy your projects, wish I could use my Cricut as expertly as you do. You make such wonderful things with yours.
    Have wonderful weekend

      You are so sweet! Thank you for your comment! I hope you can get your Cricut up and going, you’d enjoy it so much if you could. There are a lot of free projects and projects you can find online for free as well. 🙂 I hope you were able to find some dies to use with your Big Shot to make a project similar to this. 🙂 Merry Christmas!
