Vintage Christmas Inspiration From Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today.  The month has flown by and I've been busy preparing for Christmas. Still lots to do but somehow it always comes together.   Today I have 3 layouts I created with the Vintage Christmas paper collection.    

My first layout features Magical, Deck The Halls, Noel and Greeting Cards papers,  perfect to highlight an old Polaroid picture of my daughter. Lots of layering and fussy cutting.

I used the two pieces of the Paisley and Vine Flower Chipboard which I embossed with the Imagine Ink Poinsettia Embossing Powder.  Love the red and gold in the powder!


On the side of my photo I used the Jasmine Pendant chipboard, again embossed with the Poinsettia embossing powder.

My second layout features the Noel and Greeting Cards papers.

I used a mixture of 2 embossing powders, Petal and Poinsettia on the Classic Corner and Symphony Border chipboard.  I applied some masking on the background and sprinkled the medium with the Phoenix Glitter.


The title Noel is from Winter Titles, again embossed with a mixture of  Petal and Poinsettia embossing powders.  I lightly misted a doily with some Imagine Ink Persimmon Mist.

My final layout was created using the December sketch with the Wonderland, Greeting Cards and Noel papers.  I did some masking on the background paper and randomly added some Pyrite Glitter and splatters of the Persimmon and Jingle Bells Imagine Ink Mists.

I embossed Joy from Word Ornaments with the Poinsettia embossing powder.

Here I placed the Snow Medley chipboard under my photo.  I painted the chipboard with some white gesso and applied some gold micro beads.

Tucked beneath my layers is the Damask Flourish covered in Pyrite glitter.
                 
I hope you have enjoyed my layouts.  Don't forget that you still have time to enter our December Sketch Challenge.  You can find all of the details here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Christmas with Video Tutorial by Marilyn Rivera

Hello everyone!  Marilyn here with you today sharing two projects and a video tutorial using the new collection Vintage Christmas.  I had a lot of fun playing with the new Blue Fern products glitter, embossing powder and mist.
For my first project, I chose the Sparkle Wreath and the Word Ornaments chipboards that I gave a coat of gesso and then I misted with the new Imagine Ink- Cotton Candy, you will see all my creative process in the video tutorial.

I used the Vintage Christmas-Noel paper and I loved the back side that has gold and red color tones that mix perfect with the mist, glitters and embossing powders.





Supplies list:
Vintage Christmas-Noel
 Imagine Ink-Cotton Candy
Imagine Ink- Glitters- Phoenix, Pyrite
 Sparkle Wreath, Word Ornaments-chipboards
Stamp- Textures 1



Now enjoy the video tutorial!!







"A Moment in Time"
 My second project is inspired in the beautiful November sketch designed by Michele Singh.

I selected The Magical and Deck the Halls papers to make this page about my nieces with the beautiful French Ironwork and for my title the "A Moment in Time" chipboard. I embossed both chipboards with the Petal- embossing powder that has glitter and create a nice effect on the chippies. 

I placed the French Ironwork chipboard behind my photos.

After I embossed my title I distressed the edges with a pen marker. 

I punched the paper and draped one of the paper to create a design inspired in the sketch.

Supplies list:
Vintage Christmas: Magical and Deck the Halls papers
French Ironwork chipboard, A Moment in Time Chipboard
Imagine Ink- Embossing Powder- Petal


Thanks for stopping by...Until next time!
Love,

November Projects with Angelica

Hello there, scrappy friends! I can't believe that Christmas is almost here!! Divulging in the Christmas spirit I have 3 projects to share using the new Vintage Christmas Collection.

This page is based on the November Sketch. I used the Deck the Halls paper as my background and left over scraps of the Magical paper for the layering. I used a card from the Greeting Card paper as my photo mat. For the French Iron Works and Winter Title Magical I painted with gesso, lightly sprayed with Cotton Candy mist, and used Phoenix glitter for that sparkle.



Winter pages are always fun to make because I love the sparkle! For this page I used Wonderland for my background paper. I did some masking and used Sky and Cool Mint mist. I also used the Greeting Card paper(love the sheet....a must have) and  Auld Lang Syne. The chipboard pieces, Holiday Frame and Framed Winter words, were painted with gesso and misted.



Instead of another layout I wanted to do something different. So, I made this pocket using a glassine bag. I cut out a bunch I tags from the Greeting cards paper, made a larger tag with Noel paper and tucked them inside the pocket. I used the Wild Flourish bundle for the front of the pocket and the Winter Title Noel. I used Leaf and Cotton Candy mist.


This is the pocket without the tags inside. I used the Noel Papers to cover the bag.

Thanks stopping by!

Two layouts , two different collections by Wilma Voermans

                          I cant believe it is already a month ago my last blogpost was on.
                                              And only 6 weeks untill Christmas!
                           But let us first say goodbye to fall , my most favorit season.
                                               Fall in Switzerland is so beautiful .

                             Lets go over to my first layout I would love to share with you.


                                                                             
When I start a scrapbookpage, I never know what I am going to do excactly.
I grab a picture, and choose the papers.
For this paper from the Love Story collection I had a masculine page in mind.
Well, as you see it ended up as a feminine page.
The picture I used was not that great in the start, a lot going on in the background.
But my daughter in law has beautiful eyes , so I decided to use just that part.


The chipboard piece I used is the crosshatch frame .
I first embossed it in red, but I changed my mind and dapped it random with black patina.
Here and there I left a little red peeking through .

On my background I used the glitter Phoenix , I just spread here and there on my wet gesso.
In real life it gives a great effect!

The second layout I like to share with you is light as spring .
My daughter asked for a layout with this picture.
I think it is perfect for the Ombre Dreams collection.
I made this layout after the beautiful November sketch, a design by Michele Singh.



The chipboard piece Tech panel is versatile.
I choose it to get some grunch feeling and tone down all that sweetness :) 
I am a big fan of the chipboard negatives.
They give the chipboard sturdyness for shipping.
But they also give me fun and crazy shapes, I never throw them away!
Here I took out the circles from the tech panel , colored them ,
 a few doodles and there you have small embellishments



The techpanel piece is just painted with silver/iron colored paint .
To match the iron my granddaughter holds her hands on in the picture.
