20 Inspiring Christmas Embellishment Ideas from Pinterest
#1. These Christmas Paper Dolls were created by Sandy aka sandbeech on flickr using digital images from her digital collage collection. You could re-create something similiar using your heads from your own photos, christmas patterned papers, and a free paper doll template.
#2. Santa Owl On Paperclip Embellisment by Mad Swapper - you can use the Stampin' Up Owl Punch to make two owls and sandwich the paperclip between them, add googly eyes for extra fun! And who says you have to make just owls? Check out all the other creatures this blogger named Stephanie created here.
#3. Felt Mitten Garland - These SOLD OUT felt mitten garlands from Land Of Nod would be adorable to counterfeit in miniature version for personal use as embellishment on a scrapbook page. They were sold as each mitten measuring 5.5" x 7" however you could make each mitten to fit within a one inch square. Make just three or the whole garland!
#4. Stocking Advent Calendar By Trilliumdesign ~ Caroline- this is one of the most adorable advent calendars that I could also see transferring as an idea to paper. I do love the colors she used. If you want to re-create this, I believe you can buy mini clothespins at Michaels or A.C. Moore. If you are interested in her quilting tutorial, you can view here Part 1 and Part 2.
#5. Christmas Mega Bottle Caps -by Meg Duerksen
I don't know about you but I have tons of bottlecaps sitting around. This is a great way to use up scraps and make fun embellishments.Check out Meg's tutorial here.
#6. Altered Christmas Playing Card from A Sugar Kissed Christmas - Twyla and Lyndsey share a tutorial for altering a playing card and using images from a vintage sewing pattern to create this delightful project. I love the white glitter.
#7. Pearl Center on Snowflake - this embellishment idea from the Scrapagogo Blog is very sweet and simple. I love the non-traditional color of mint green mixed with red and aqua. Use manufactured pearls or make your own.
#8. Fussy Cutting with Buttons, Twill, and Silver Leaves - by Briana Johnson for JBSMercantile. As if fussy cutting the beautiful floral paper wasn't enough, the adorable buttons (threaded), curled twill, and lovely silver vintage-style leaves make this embellishment cluster a sophisticated and gorgeous addition to any holiday page!
#9. Felt Flower with Date and Name Tag - This is a wonderfully simple cover for a December Daily album by Nicole Reaves. It could also be used as an embellishment anywhere. Simply make 8 white felt petals, layer them like Nicole has shown, then either print out a date for the center or add a button to the middle. Finish off with a tag with baker's twine!
#10. Embellished Numbers - by Samantha Wright aka samw1984 - Here's a cute idea for your December Daily album or advent. I love how the envelopes have the numbers clustered with embellishments on them. I happen to have this, it's an actual advent calendar kit sold at one of the big box stores, and I just love how Samantha put hers together. If you want to counterfeit something similar, here's a free ornament pattern template from homemade by jill. You can get a free pocket template here (it's the second template, pocket A)
#11. Number Tags by Alissa Fast - Fun stamping on white tags, with a bit of glitter for good measure!
#12. Free Printable Christmas Tags from Raggedy Scrappin - you could either print these and fill them in with Copic Markers or use them as templates for paper piecing embellishments.
#13. O Christma Tree Tag - by Lynn Warner - this Christmas tree was created by "ginormous" photo corners stacked on their sides to create a tree. I love the doodling and stick pin for a tree topper. There is great texture to this tag!

the house! I simply used green polka dot ribbon and gathered them around
Glubers then put a Webster's Pages flower in the middle, some bits of Vintage lace
and some jewels or silhouettes in the middle!" You must click on the links above to see these beauties in full size!
