Christmas Traditions Christmas Tags by Tania Ridgwell

 Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share my second DT project for December. 
 I have created a set of Christmas Tags for my second share.


2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Mini Reindeers
*Wicker Christmas Wreaths
*Card - Word Circle Set - Christmas
*Corner Sweet Holly


I have used the gorgeous Unmistakable Creations 'Christmas Traditions' Collection to create the base for my Tags.  I coloured the Mini Reindeer chippies with Kaiser Gold Shimmer Spray.  The Sweet Holly Corner chippie pieces with Dirty Martini Dylusions Shimmer Spray and once dry I gave them a light spray with the Kaiser Gold Shimmer Spray.  To colour the Wicker Christmas Wreath and Card - Word Circle Set - Christmas chippies I sprayed a mixture of Dirty Martini Dylusions Shimmer, Kaiser Gold Shimmer & Red Iridescent Sprays onto some acetate and then smooched all the chippie pieces in the sprays until they were fully coloured.  To construct each of my tags I added lots of fussy cut elements from the Christmas Traditions Collection, added the chippie pieces to each and finished them off with pretty Christmas paper blooms.

Tag 1


Tag 2


Tag 3


That's all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Christmas Tags. 
Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

Santa Paws
by Robin Schelin

 Hi everybody, Welcome back to the blog.

Well, it's the middle of December and Christmas will be here before you know it! Christmas has always included my furry little friends. They get their own stockings full of toys along with special holiday treats.

 Say hello to "Santa" Jack!

Santa Paws  

Fabulous 2crafty Chipboard I used:

Swirly Holly Set

Little Pawprint Strip

Waiting for Santa


As always, Gesso first, alter after!

So, who doesn't love paw prints? This Little Pawprint Strip was perfect for this layout. Perfect for any layout about dogs, actually. They make the layout that much more special.

I cut the Little Pawprint Strip into individual pieces and used 3 of them on the sides of the photo. I first painted them with White Acrylic Paint, then sprinkled them with Ranger Clear Rock Candy Dry Glitter.

I also cut up the Swirly Holly Set and placed one of the swirls here between the paw pints. This I heat embossed with Ranger Red Tinsel Embossing Powder, leaving the snowflake altered the same as the paw prints.


I mimicked the lower left to be the same as the upper right for balance. Both the paw prints and the swirls are very sparkly, although it's hard to see in the photos. I really like embossing and using glitter on Christmas layouts. So festive and happy!

  

For the title, I cut again! I only used the word "Santa" from the title Waiting for Santa. Every time I cut up a title, I save the unused words to use on another project, so nothing gets wasted. I painted Santa with a mixture of Gold and Bronze Acrylic Paint. I did it this color to play off the color of the ornaments at the upper left of the layout. I try to balance out the colors as best I can so it flows better.

I added the word 'Paws' underneath 'Santa', well, because he's a dog! And it rhymes with Claus!! These are from the Tim Holtz Ideology Alpha Parts letters. They are made of black plastic, so no altering needed. 


And that's it. My second layout of the season. I will be back with one more Christmas layout later in the month. I know we are all busy during the Holidays, but I hope you can find the time to create Christmas memories of your own. If not, get those photos taken so they are ready when you are!

'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas'
with Lisa Amiet

 Hello again all!
It's Lisa here today to share some more 
chrissy inspiration with you!

Christmas is almost here lol. 

 
2Crafty products used:
 
 
'Star Bright Snowflakes'
'Large Berry Stem'
'Holly Leaves'
'Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas'

 
For this layout, I used some of the 'Holly Leaves'
that I coloured in a green colour,
 and tucked in around my page. 

 
I also used the 'Large Berry Stem',
that I embossed in a bright red,
 and adhered next to my photo. 

 
I also used one of the 'Star Bright Snowflakes',
that I embossed white and tucked into my layers.  

 
To finish, I used the 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' title,
which I also embossed white,
 and adhered under my berry stem, 

 
I really love how the colours just pop off the black cardstock base.  
I hope that you all have a very merry christmas,
 and I will be back soon with more to share with you.
 
Until then,
 
Lisa

“My Christmas Angel”
Mixed Media Layout
By Di Garling


 Well hello there. Thanks so much for dropping by.
Today I have another Christmas theme layout to share with you. This one features
my gorgeous little staffy doggo who sadly passed away last year.

I took these photos of her back in 2014 when she was just a young doggy. ❤️
2Crafty Chipboard Used….
“Brushstroke Tree”
“Star Bright Snowflakes”
“My Christmas Angel” - title


After firstly creating my mixed media background, with stencilling,
sprays, stamping and more, I set to creating my layout. Lots of layers 
& then some gorgeous pieces of our favourite 2Crafty chipboard pieces.


The title, “My Christmas Angel” actually says “ANGELS” but I
simply snipped off the “S” to suit my photo. That is the beauty of
using chipboard, you can so easily customise it to suit your project.


In the photo above you can see where I have tucked in one of the
“Brushstroke Trees” at the left side of my photos after firstly painting
& spraying it green before I then rubbed it over with some green
                                             “Stickles” to add that touch of Christmas sparkle.


Lastly I finished it all off by heat embossing some of the 
“Star Bright Snowflakes” in gold & then I just tucked them in around 
 the edges of my photos to help add to the whole Christmas theme.

Well that’s all I have for you today. I hope it gives you some
inspiration for your Christmas scrapbooking. I will be back with 
some more Christmas inspiration.

Until then….

Holly Jolly Star by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!
Tania joining you today to share a bonus DT project for December.  
I have altered a Wooden Star for  Christmas.


2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Merry Christmas with Holly Branch
*Corner Thick Vine
*Poinsettia Set
*Foliage Set 18


I have used the gorgeous Mintay 'Holly Jolly' Collection to create the base for my star.


To colour my Merry Christmas chippie I painted on some Dylusions Dirty Martini onto the leaves, I painted Kaiser Red Iridescent Spray onto the berries and once it was dry I sprayed the whole piece with Kaiser Gold Shimmer Spray.  The Corner Thick Vine chippie was coloured with Chopped Pesto Dylusions Spray and once dry I dabbed on some Kaiser Gold Shimmer Spray.  The Poinsettia chippie I coloured with a mixture of Kaiser Red Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays.  The Foliage chippies were first given a coat of gesso and then coloured with a mixture of Kaiser Red Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays.


I decorated the star using fussy cut elements from the Holly Jolly Collection, added some coordinating paper blooms.  I tucked in the Corner Vine & Foliage Chippies amongst the fussy cut elements.  Added the Poinsettia chippie to the top left of my star and finished off by adding the Merry Christmas Title chippie.


Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Christmas Star.
  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
