Dead As The Dickens - A Skully Christmas Tree Ornament - Holiday Spectacular Challenge 2025

We have what we call our “Irreverent Tree” that is black and has various not-necessarily-safe-for-granny ornaments on and around it: Krampus, Belsnickel, Cthulhu snowman, etc. I got the idea to make a santa skully, but it turns out none of my Santa hat dies fit this skull!

The top hat and scarf (backwards) are from a Tim Holtz snowman set and the spectacles from Spellbinders (and upside down!). This is not the Irreverent Tree, just our “main” tree.

I’m pleased with how sturdy this paper ornament is which has me thinking that I might make more die cut ornaments, possibly for gift toppers or even tags (with for/from on the back)

This stuff you make with die-cutting is such eye candy! I love that it’s got layers for shading and stuff. It’s beautiful!

Aw, thank you! The credit for the layers goes to the die designers for sure.
