'Christmas Creations'

Hello all :)

Kim here to share with you some festive creations!

Each year I like to have a Christmas theme, just to make it a little more exciting

(mainly for me).

This Christmas I thought I would go for a Scandinavian theme.....so think of natural, earthy colours.

Here are a few of the Christmas tree decorations I have made!

I simply grabbed some material in desired colours

(I still want to add some brown tones). Using

some good old Christmas cookie cutters, I traced around the shapes & cut them out.

I then stitched them mostly together, added some stuffing & finished off the stitching.

I then either stitched or glued the Scrapmatts Words/elements into

place.

Assorted Words 27 (CB6111)

Assorted Words 19 (CB6097)

Reindeers 05 (CB1096)

I also added lace and tiny twine to a few.

I really like how these little decorations turned out....very easy to make &

very cost effective and the best thing is they are original.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my post and before I go....

I would like to wish you all a truly wonderful

Christmas & a Happy and Healthy 2016!

And if you are traveling please keep safe

All the best

Christmas Comes Early - Lauren Tomecek

I LOVE Christmas and especially Christmas crafts, so it's a good thing that Scrapmatts has an amazing range of Christmas chipboard which is updated every year. I've started my Christmas crafting early this year and created two projects to share today.

First up we have this fold-out scene box. I have created this from an old cereal box and a video tutorial from here. You can see some of the depth in the box in these detail shots.

I have used CB6082 Christmas Trees 04, CB1105 Santa with Reindeers 01, CB1106 Trees 04, CB1096 Reindeers 05 and CB1058 Words 11 Season's Greetings.

And here is what it looks like all folded up:

My second project is a layout featuring my brother (shh, he doesn't know I scrapped this!). Can you tell I love the reindeer chippies?

I have struggled to paint the star bursts in these ornaments every time I use them but this time I think I nailed it. I painted them with a pin head rather than paintbrush. :)

Scrapmatts chipboard used: CB1215 Scrap Words 17, CB1183 Christmas Ornaments 10, CB1212 Scrap Words 14 and CB1096 Reindeers 05.
