Holiday Earrings from Art Impressions

 Hello everyone!

I'll be the first to admit it. I have a holiday earring addiction.

It was costing me money. Lots of money.

I work in an elementary school and so we dress in holiday attire a lot.  About a year ago I started making earrings out of Art Impressions dies and paper.  These are a few of what I made for myself and for school friends.

These are for my friend Holly who is the one who inspired my to make earrings.




These are for sweet Ellie who is an older woman who works in our cafeteria. She has very short hair so smaller earrings still make a statement on her.  I actually gave them two her over a week ago and she's worn them 3 times.




These are ALL ME!! I have a black sweater with a white snowflake on the front and back and I wanted something to compliment that.



This pair is also all me!  I just love snowflakes and this vision.




This pair is yet to be determined. LOL!
I may keep, I may gift them...we'll see.



This pair is also for me.
Those little pine cones are just so darling!




My friend Katie has two green dresses.
I made these for her.  As I was packing up for work I thought they needed a little something.  I through a rhinestone in the center of the bow and was very happy with them.  I didn't have time to get a picture though. When I got to work and handed them to her...she was actually WEARING one of the green dresses!  She immediately put them on and loved them.



This pair was for Shelly and I made a set for myself.
I have SO. MANY. EARRINGS!



For those wondering...paper earrings???  Well, they're not indestructible. I don't wear them when heavy rain is expected.  I use three layers of paper.  I use the patterned paper in the front, the Canson watercolor paper which is heavy duty, in the middle and then the patterned paper on the back again. Many of these earrings spin around and I want the back to be as pretty as the front if that's what's showing.

Please think outside the box when you order your Art Impressions stamps and dies.
They are NOT just limited to cards.
