This is my favorite time of the year, I love the Christmas Season and of course I love the papers that go with it!! I would like to share some projects I made using Authentiques Festive Collection. I had such fun making these two layouts, I plan on using them with holiday photos this year! For this fist layout I used a couple of Tim Holtz dies, the medium tag die and his new 3-D star die. Then just some of the Festive paper and stickers. I used Walnut Stain Distress Ink to shade all the edges of my paper pieces.
For my second layout I used the Tim Holtz medium tag die, carved ornaments #2 and the noel insert die. I also used one of the Picot Edge Circles die from Spellbinder. In addition to the dies, I also used Studio Calico's Wood Veneer Snowflakes. All of the paper and stickers were from the Festive Collection, minus the basic cardstock.
Now for the next project, I made a countdown calendar. This project is something I will use for years to come. I used the Dimensional Sign Board from Wendy Vecchi's Art Parts. If you have never used Art Parts, I would really encourage you to do so, they are completely alterable. You can paint, stain, stamp, cover with paper & fabric as well as many other mediums. We have many styles to chose from at
The Scrapbooking Studio. I chose to cover mine with some scrapbook paper and stamp with Tim Holtz's Season's Silhouettes Stamp Set with a little walnut stain ink. The hardware is Tim's Holtz and all the paper and stickers are from the Festive Collection.
For my final project, I made a simple card using the Festive Collection. I accented with a Studio Calico Snowflake and some Glossy Accents on the "Wish" sticker.
