December KitVille

ScrapVille's monthly Kit Club, called KitVille, is a monthly challenge where you make anything you want using the supplies in the kit + 2 additional items from ScrapVille (which is really easy to manage- stickers, adhesive, papers, ribbons, distress ink/stains, stickles, etc). The December kit challenge included a 6x6 SEI paper, Creative Imaginations Swirl White ribbon, Snowflake Brads, and We R Memory Keepers "Tab" Punch in the "Index Tab". 

I used the Toymaker Elf stamp from Kraftin with Kimmie Stamps, Magic of Christmas stamp from Technique Tuesday by Ali Edwards and Exclusive Christmas stamp set from Elle's Studio.

Trim the Tree

I love handmade ornaments! My friend recently moved and needs ornaments for his first Christmas tree in his new apartment. I made him these two for his son's first two years of Santa pictures, I plan to make one every year from here on out. So fun and a great way to use up my extra Christmas scrap papers/embellishments! I used a date stamp on the back. For the glittered one, I used a piece of white washi tape that I made myself with score tape and tissue paper so that it would stick to all that glitter. I used score tape to adhere the two chipboard pieces for each ornament together with the hanging tie in the middle to help it be more secure. Love how these turned out!

Doodlebug Christmas Fun

I am in love with the new Doodlebug Christmas line called "North Pole", it's just so freaking adorable!

I made this 3 arch project for the ScrapVille Design Team project. Love all the colors. I added stickles to the Doodlebug stickers to make everything more sparkly. I cut the letters from sheets of green striped washi tape to lay on top of the red JOY letters. I also used washi tape to cover the edges of the arches, washi is so awesome I just love it! The tags are punched with the Stampin' Up retired tab punch. I used Technique Tuesday's "December Daily 2011" stamp set by Ali Edwards for the sentiments (stayz on ink). I punched the washi sheets on top of white paper to stamp on- worked great!

 
 

I made this cute little mini book from one sheet of 12x12 green paper and used my left over scraps from the above 3 arch project to finish this book. Mini book tutorial from Echo Park DT memeber Lowri McNabb, found here, super easy to make!

Festive Christmas

For my July ScrapVille DT challenge, I made this scrapbook layout using the new Authentique "Festive" line. I thought it coordinated great with the cabin Christmas pictutres. The kraft paper is not from the line and didn't have any pattern to it so it wasn't "fitting" in. To make it match, I used my DeNami Design J133 "Decorative Flourish" stamp with Versamark ink, perfect fix!  I also made 2 cards with the extra stickers and paper scraps.

A Cozy Christmas

I adore Lawn Fawn's A Cozy Christmas stamp set. I used it to make this Christmas card. I paired it with Stamps by Judith's S-59-HK Christmas Tree and then glittered it up!

Tags inspired by Holtz

Was playing around with Tim Holtz's products for the first time. These tags were really fun to make, despite the mess :)

Ho Ho Ho!

I love the classic red/green color combination for Christmas and I heart Santa cards. Check these traditional style cards out. All stamps from Stampin' Up except the Santa Clothesline stamp from Northwood Rubber Stamps. Happy Holidays to you and your family this year!
