hi crafters,
2015 is soon come to the last month, and here we are celebrating Christmas!!! This is a happy month, we spend most of the time with our family and we also sending love to our friends. We took a lot of pictures every December  and they were always the happiest memory we kept throughout the year.

All Hearts Come Home For Christmas

I applied gesso onto Donna Downey's Random Circle stencil onto the paper for background, and I added the Aleene's Glitter Snow onto the christmas tree, snowflakes and flowers, this magic snow adds a touch of sparkle onto your holiday projects and i really love it!

Those little houses comes from Fiskars border punch - main street, it is so cute with some snows on top!

A christmas red bow will highlight the focus point and created the layers.

Reason For The Christmas

This is a quick layout. Simply just cut out designs from the paper and place them onto the red cardstock, make sure you leave some red edge to create the layers. Place your photo and add embellishments.

A big flower will balance the layout and create dimension. 

I draw lines around and add some stamping!

Christmas Banner

This year Prima Marketing is hosting a 12 days of Christmas challenge, which featuring different products each day and you can use them on your project to enter the challenge. I am entering Day 1 challenge - Victorian Christmas. More details here.

This pretty paper is very good for making home decor, banner, ornaments. cards etc. Today i would like to show you how to work on this quick and easy banner. 

1. Cut out three banner from paper,  match them with red cardstock on the bottom.

2. Distress and edge of banner to create the vintage look. Apply distress ink Fired brick.

3. Cut out designs from paper and layer them together. remember to distress and edge as well.

4. Add embllishments.

 For some details, I choose a paper with right top wreath and add my designs on the left side. Random stamping on the background using Tim Holtz's distress ink Fired brick.

The middle banner is different, i cut out some small banners and link them together on top, stamp JOY on them.

The right side banner, i added Kaisercraft rhinestone flourishes so it will shine. A wood piece from Prima  wood icons collection is a lovely choice.


Merry Christmas,
