25 Days of Christmas - December 4th

Have I mentioned how much I love love LOVE the Simple Stories '25 Days of Christmas' collection? These vintage Christmas inspired designs are just so gorgeous. And the paper is so thick and strong that it's also perfect for off the page projects. So I thought I'd make a little Christmas gift using a sheet of 'Peace Love Joy' and a pretty paper doilie.

It's a Christmas Treat cone.....

...filled with yummy Chrsitmas choccies!

I love this chipboard snowflake from the 2Crafty 'Christmas Assortment 1' pack. I painted it a lovely sage green and then sprayed it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to add a bit of sparkle.

My Uncle-in-Law is going to love this!

(: Happy Scrapping :)

Christmas Chipboard Wreath

I had a bit of fun this week working on this 'off the page' project...



I love the Christmas Wreath Kit from 2Crafty - it has so many possibilities.

I started by covering the 'baubles' with some pretty Christmas paper and using a good old-fashioned emery board to file the edges clean. I then painted the rims with gold paint.

I then worked out positioning and glued the baubles onto the wreath base.

I like to use Tombow glue for projects like this as it has a super strong bond.

I found a gorgeous feather garland at my local Bed Bath and Table and carefully glued it around the back of the wreath.

Looks lovely from the front now!

Now all that was left to do was to add a few decorations for that bit of bling-ness....

The Santa and Sleigh is from the 2Crafty Mini Santa Sleighs cardpack (coated in gold glitter) and the Merry from the 2Crafty Merry Christmas card pack (painted red and the Dimensional Magicked).
