Festive Fridays. . . Christmas Tree Frame

Hello Dear Reader how are you?  I thought that as we enter September there was no better time to start with the preparations for the festive season; so that will be our theme on a Friday. . . a Festive Friday as it were :)
This week is a decor piece that i plan to hang on our living room door;
 
Would you believe that this frame started life as a cheapy pound store frame that was a very light wood? I gave the wood a light sand and inked it up with various shades of brown from SU.  I then covered it in clear embossing powder to give it a lovely shine.  The background is a gorgeous background stamp called En Français Stamped in Sahara Sands; I also used the lovely new Christmas Tree from the stamp set Special Season in the new Holiday Catalogue.  I love the vintagey Victorian Christmas feel of the frame.  I hope that you like it and helps to get you in the festive groove.

Christmas Tree Card

Morning! So following on from yesterdays post here is one of the cards from the set of Christmas projects.

So a 6x6inch z-fold Crumb Cake card base, which i cut a swing panel in the fold with the labels framelit, i then mounted another matching framelit on top and inked all the edges with Crumb Cake ink.  I then cut a larger mount from the labels framelit collection in Lucky Limeade DSP and adhered it behind so that it is sort of a floating layer.  For the main focal image i stamped and cut out the tree from Scentsational Season stamp set in Lucky Limeade i love that there is a matching framelit set makes things so much quicker and that's just what you need for Christmas cards!  I topped the tree with a star and then mounted it on a strip of DSP from Festival of Prints stack on a embossed Whisper White panel.

Blue Christmas

Morning all, another quick festive card today.  Like me do you have bits left over from other projects that you feel bad about throwing away??  Well i decided to use some of these bits up to make some Christmas cards.  A few weeks ago i cut a load of trees out of white card but i wanted the negative so i had loads of trees left over and i couldn’t bare to throw them away as it seemed such a waste.

 

So my waste has become a pretty jewelled tree with a teeny baker’s twine bow, mounted on a mat of Island Indigo DSP then a Whisper White mat then a Island Indigo card blank.  I think it looks quite pretty and blue makes a nice change with Christmas cards although mine are usually Crumb Cake with red lol so its nice to do a few different ones!

Festive Friday!

Good morning and welcome to the first Festive Friday post;  today is a very simple layout.  A card that is simple to replicate so brilliant for mass production, which is what you need during the festive season.

Its a crumb cake card blank that i have inked around the edges in the matching ink. I have also used crumb cake for the first layer of the mat with very vanilla on top both cut from the Labels Collection Framelits and the Christmas tree is cut with the Holiday Collection Framelits in the gorgeous Champagne Glimmer paper from the seasonal catalogue.  I love the glimmer paper i want to paper the whole living room in it, Mr.C is not so keen on that idea so i may settle for a small bit around my desk, its a fab glittery effect and it doesn't shed which is a major bonus in my eyes; clean glitter!

The DSP is from the festival of prints paper stack which is perfectly sized for cards or photo mats for scrapbooking, and a cherry cobbler seam binding ribbon to top it off. 

Hope you like it

Until next time
