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.

 

 

Hope you all have a great Christmas, don't forget to share your projects with us over at the Ning gallery.

Quick and Easy Christmas Cards a Tag and a Shadow Box

Welcome to August. Anne here today. 

 Wow this year is just flying by so quickly.  With that in mind, I have a couple of quick and easy Christmas cards to share with you today.  The main elements on these cards is the chipboard, which is what makes they look great, but be so quick and easy.

With this card, I have added some Christmas stars (CB6081) and a Christmas Tag (CB1215).

This card has some Christmas words (CB1211 and CB1213) and a Christmas Tag (CB1215).

Then i created this Christmas Tag,  My idea is about getting organised for Christmas, and that is why I used the new Tabs (CB5117), then using some Christmas Words to highlight what I need to organise.

Now I have another Shadow Box to share with you.  This uses some pictures of my friend and he daughters.  The top layer of the shadow box, I  used a template and then inked in Red and yellow to create the pattern.  I have then used a Heart Frame (CB5113), some vines (CB2021) and finally some dragon flies (CB1036)

And for some close ups.

(and it is good to note, the shadow boxes fit Washi tape around the edges perfectly).  

Thanks for Looking, I hope you have enjoyed my creations.
