Santa's North Pole Workshop Shadowbox - Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for November


Santa's Workshop Tabletop Shadowbox Vignette- Spellbinders Large Die of the Month

Welcome to the North Pole.  
Santa is working overtime with elves, the reindeer, and even Mrs. Claus getting ready for Christmas deliveries.  Brought to you by the amazing Large Die of the Month Club by Spellbinders, with special appearances by Santa's Reindeer -Special Add-On Set and accented using a variety of chipboard pieces from Creative Embellishments and 3D Buttons from Buttons Galore and More. 


This month the creativity and festivity is on overdrive due the adorable die set that is a "must have".  This November's Large Die of the Month includes the dies to make Santa and elves (and Mrs. Claus too). 

You can grab the coordinating reindeer "add on" to complete the set.   See how adorable the reindeer is? I added a button nose to transform the reindeer into Rudolph - the ever important main Rein"dude"

Mrs. Claus - Super Easy Adaptation
Santa is not complete without his lovely doting companion, Mrs. Claus.  I created Mrs Claus with a simple adaptation by using Santa's beard as her hair. I also gave her a lace apron and secured the lace to the back of the body. 




The Workshop
The Workshop was created using a variety of chipboard from Creative Embellishments starting with the Creative Embellishments - House Vignette - House Shadowbox.  From there, I covered with paper from Prima, and added the following chipboard accents:





You can see the roof Slate Shingles in the image below.  I painted them white and topped them with Unicorn Paste for a snowy glistening finish. 

This is the Unicorn Paste from Prima. It's my latest obsession for a perfect frosty finish to winter projects. It has a chunky texture because it contains mica flakes the help provide the iridescent sheen.

Chipboard Embellishments
The Christmas tree in the background is Creative Embellishments - Mesh Tree , painted with green acrylic paint, and decorated with beads, sequins and buttons from Buttons Galore -Festive Traditions -Embellishment Bottles

The chipboard North Pole Christmas Sign was wiped using a sponge and wash of white acrylic paint and water.  I didn't want to paint over the North Pole wording. 

Santa's chipboard sleigh was also painted with acrylic paint. 



 The Roof Ridge Top Chipboard was critical on this project to securing the chipboard sign and sleigh to the house. The chipboard is scored and acts like a hinge, thus helping to provide more support to the chipboard pieces when gluing to the house. 

The adorable finishing touches on Santa's North Pole Workshop are sweet 3D buttons from Buttons Galore and More.

  1. Wow! This shadowbox is amazing! So much detail and creativity. I love everything about it! Very cool that you adapted the reindeer "add-on" to fit right in and I love how you created Mrs. Claus! 🤶 Love all the products you used, especially the Unicorn paste! Thank you for the inspiration!
