Christmas decorating

Merry Christmas to you! 

Its Tracey back with you today , to share decorations I made for my tree.

This is what I started with......metal lids from jars and Tim Holt tiny brush Christmas trees.

Ta da! 

Love how these turned out!

I searched Pinterest for "Free" Vintage images. I wanted a scene that the trees could become a part of. How perfect are these! To start..... I used a crop-a-dile to punch two holes in the top of the lid to thread ribbon for hanging!

After glueing the pictures to the lid, I covered the entire lid in glue then rolled them in glitter. I coloured the trees with Heidi Swapp colour shine....they have a real shimmer. White paint for a dusting of snow .....while it was wet I dipped the trees in glitter and added a few pearls. Also I added a few large pearls for snow balls :) A chip board leaf, twine , ribbon and a few bells. The white trim around the edges is a really small tinsel........maybe used for wrapping gifts I think?

Happy Creating

DT Deni - Happy Christmas

Good everyone,

DT Deni here today to share a non traditional colours Christmas card.

Our theme this month is red&green/Christmas, I have decided to make a Christmas card but to challenge myself and use non traditional colours so I have gone with pink and Kraft.

I received all the blueprints I didn't already have in a package from Auzz Trinklets a couple of weeks ago so decided to have a play with those while I was putting them away today. I have used Blueprints 24 to cut my rectangle, banner,stars, circle and the tabs, as well as the sentiment strip. I cut them out using my Sizzix Big Shot.

I have used Color Copy Mondi for my white pieces and also for the stamped images. The patterned papers are from Pebbles Ever After.

I have use Canson, American Krafts and Kaisercraft for all the matting.

The word hello is cut using American Krafts Kraft cardstock. Holidays is stamped using Memento Desert Sand using an acrylic block from Lawn Fawn.

The Reindeer image is from Avery Elle North Pole Pals, it is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black and die cut using the matching dies.

I have added some Nuvo crystal drops in Autumn Red to the stars just to bring a little more red into the card.

I have then attached all the layers to a card base from Twiddleybitz using My Stik Adhesive.. I normally use my ATG but I am out of refills at the moment and need to do an order. I have added wink of Stella clear glitter brush to the nose and the Stars just for that finishing touch.
