Ho Ho Holy Christmas....

 Ho Ho Holy Christmas....

 I can't believe that we are only 10 days from Christmas and fast approaching the New Year.

Hello again. 

Are we all organised for Christmas? 

This month really is the silly season. I have been so busy with work, Christmas parties, appointments, market stalls that I haven't had much time to create. 

So it was nice to finally get into my craft space and design.

The first of my projects I would like to share with you is a mini clipboard.

I started by covering with Christmas paper. I think from memory this is a Simple Stories range.

 It's been in my Christmas stash for some time.

 I then used the ST5042 Star Stencil to add some detail to the background.

With the CB5158 Triangles, I pulled them apart, painted them with Picket Fence Distress Paint and added to them to the background. 

When I look at these they resemble Christmas Trees.

 To finish off the clipboard, I attached the CB5164 Holly 05 to the top of the frame and added a CB5144 Layered Poinsettia to the bottom of the frame.

 The gold Polaroid frame came with the mini clipboard.

 To colour the Poinsettia and Holly I used my alcohol ink markers and to give the sparkly effect, I used my glitter pen from CTMH.

 To finish off the frame I used the CB Assorted Words 19 - Christmas Memories. 

This was inked in Silver.

 The picture is of my daughter from a couple of years ago when we had photo booth props to take Christmas pics.

Here is a list of the products used in this project

CB5144 - Layered Poinsettia's 01

 

CB6097 - Assorted Words 19

CB5164 - Holly 05

CB5158 - Triangles 03

ST5042 - Stencil Stars

The second project I would like to share with you is a set of 3 Christmas Cards.

 To create these cards I have used watercolour pencils, background stamp, ST1026 - Bubbles Stencil and CB1227 - Christmas Ornaments and CB1229 - Chains

 

Firstly using watercolour paper, take the stencil and colour inside the circles in your desired colours.

Then take your watercolour pen and water wash the colours.

Then stamp the background.

I then added a border with my black marker pen.

 

   

 I used the CB1227 - Christmas Ornaments and the CB1229 - Chains 02 to decorate.

Some I have left raw and the others I have inked in Gold and Silver.

 I love how these have turned out and they were quick and easy.

These are the products I have used to create these cards

 ST1026 - Circles Stencil

CB1227 - Christmas Ornaments 13

CB1229 - Chains
