Christmas Cards

 Robyn Leeanne here from Scraptease with 3 pretty cards made using the Christmas Gnome collection from Maja Designs.

As its getting close now to Christmas I thought that making cards would be fun to start thinking about now. 

There are so many different ways to personalize a card these days and homemade is, I think, always so much more thoughtful. So much love and thought goes into making a personal Christmas card and you know when you receive one that you have been thought about and loved. Don't you agree?

Card 1

Shaker Card

To make this card I used frames cut with a die from contrasting papers from the collection and layered them. 

Using foam mount tape and acetate I created the window for the shaker pieces. Cut out a Gnome and added to the front side of frames and the little title for the card.

 Inside I used a similar gnome on a tag piece from the collection so as it showed through the front of the card. 

Card 2

Slimline Shaker Card

Using a slimline card from Uniquely Creative I created this card.

I have used a diecut frame again with foam mount and acetate to create the shaker and used glitter in the shaker this time.

I have added gold washi tape and the little Merry Christmas Washi tape to the top and bottom of the card along with some pearls spots to bling it up a little.

Card 3

Slimline Card

Again using a slimline card to create this card I have used a piece of the paper cut slightly smaller than the front of the card and stuck down. I have then cut a postcard from the paper that contains the 12 postcard size pictures mounted that on a mat and then mounted that using foam mount tape to the front of the card. Added a small piece of the Merry Christmas Washi tape to the bottom of the postcard picture and a strip of the gold washi tape to the top and bottom of the frame.

I hope this has inspired you to make your Christmas cards for family and friends this year with this Maja Christmas Gnome Collection.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

 I do hope you find inspiration in your day to craft.

Until next time my friends CRAFT ON!!

Robyn Leeanne from Scraptease here with a layout I created of my grandsons.

For this layout I have used texture paste to stencil, also stenciled with oxides and lastly using stamps added a further dimension to the page.

I finished with some pre cut embellishments and of course added the black diamond dew drops from the Glacier Diamond Dew Drops 

This is the finished layout I hope it inspires you to create.

Stay tuned and stay creative

Original Duo

Robyn Leeanne here from Scraptease today, I hope you are well and crafting your little hearts out.

Well today I have for you a layout to inspire you using not only the beautiful Dew Drops but the page was also made up with Washi Tape.

I have put lengths of tape across the center of white cardstock the torn a patterned paper into 2 pieces and stuck them either side of the Washi Tape giving the effect of the paper being torn open.

Then all that has been added is the Photo and mat also the title and a mat for the title.

And of not forgetting the beautiful Dew Drops that have been added to.

Please do be inspired to use these they are so pretty.

Ballerina Cards

 

Robyn Leeanne from Scraptease here with 3 pretty cards.

I have used Stamperia Ballerina collection for these cards.

 

Little Ballerina

Hello my crafty friends

 My gosh this year is fast approaching the end.

My layout today features no photos but I hope it inspires you to use the Stamperia Ballerina range. It is stunning. 

Some of these papers I have to admit I do find a little intimidating, I really don't know what to do with them sometimes.

I have plenty of little girl photos but how can I use then and still make the paper visible in its beauty.

Well I have given it a go, I hope you like.

Step 1 

Fussy Cutting.

Yes fussy cutting.... I can hear you groan but sometimes its the only way to go.

I fussy cut the Ballerinas so I could mount it on top of itself on the page.

 Step 2.

I cut the second sheet of my papers I had chosen at the 6.5 inch mark.

Then scored a .5 inch from the edge pressed that back and glued the .5 inch about 2 inches in from the left edge of my first chosen paper

Step 3

I precut white cardstock to the required size for the photos.

I laid this out to get an idea as to where and how they would fit and look on the page.

Step 4 

On the right edge of the layout I stuck another piece of the first paper. This was about 3 x 4 inches then I scored it at the 3.5 inch mark, folded that and stuck to the edge of the right side of the second paper. This gave me extra space for 2 small photos.

Finally this was the layout of the page that I chose.

I have left space for journaling.

Step 5

Once construction and fussy cutting was complete it is time to decorate.

As these pages are already so beautiful and so as to not lose to much of that, I decorated very simply.

 You will notice the piece of string in a bow that ties the charm to the smaller flip out on the right edge of the layout.

Step 6

I mounted the fussy cut Ballerina over herself on the outside of the flip out part,

then added diecut hearts that were colored with some distress oxides and attached with glue.

This is the finished layout.

I hope this inspires you to grab some of this beautiful Stamperia papers and try them out.

sometimes "less is more"

Thank you so much for stopping by.

 I do hope you find inspiration in your day to craft.
