12 Ideas of Christmas - Idea 8

Santa Claus is coming to town!
I am in the mood for Christmas carols it seems. Using Tim Holtz stamps and purple ink this card is a bi-fold card. It adds emphasis to the stamped image this way. And I love the fact the carols are not so traditional - purple and green, deep purple that is. Sparkle and shine to create a touch of the Christmas magic - use Tattered Angels glimmer mists and top it off by adding glitter to Santa's beard. Truly a magical Christmas card - anyone would love to receive this card in the mail.
Not sure how to use Glimmer mists? Check out my video on the website: GLIMMER MIST TUTORIAL

The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful....let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Ahhhh, wintry Christmas cards, can we ever have enough ideas? Victoria used blue foil with the snowflake ribbon for a frosty, wintry feel. Then, to add some ice crystals, she used diamond rhinestones! Add a Christmas note and voila! A wintry Christmas card.

Tree Trimming, Tree Shopping, ... Winter Cold...Brrrrr, it is cold outside!
This layout was created with photos of purchasing a fresh tree in mind. Using Imaginisce paper, mittens to hang and Bazzill Cardstock, this layout is splendid!
Another idea for Christmas!

12 Ideas of Christmas - Idea 5

Ahhh...one day closer to Christmas and the countdown continues. I have hardly even started readying myself, but will get a handle on it all this weekend!
Well, idea 5 creates a mini-album out of 1 sheet of 12*12. Of course, with embellishments and matting a few more pages were added. However, the album itself- 1 sheet! You will:
- score the 12*12 in 4 sections, all 6*6
- cut out one 6*6 square
- fold the top down
- fold the left side over to the right side
and don't forget to embellish and decorate!
simple!
This would make a great Christmas card for those of you that send photos of loved ones' to loved ones at Christmas!
Happy Christmas Countdown!

12 Ideas of Christmas - Idea 4

Multi Photo Layouts! There are so many times, when we have too many photos to only make a single photo layout, but sometimes creating MPL's are really hard! How can we possibly fit all those photos on one page?! Use a template!
This MPL was created using the die-cut frame from last ideas cards. Graphic 45 die cuts were of course, punched out of a sheet of paper and what was left, but this frame that Victoria used to create this layout! How 'green' is that?! Talk about using every last morsel of this paper and putting it to use! She also used Making Memories foam stickers (cardinals and poinsettias).

Sorry, i didn't realize the image didn't post - here it is...again!

Today is a card. Using the Graphic 45 die-cuts, you can create various cards. We popped the image, double matted with green and gold, then used the background die-cut to adhere to the card; added ribbon and a greeting and there you go...
You can create so many cards using these die-cuts, as well as mini-album covers, and even 'Old Time Christmas' pages.

On the 2nd idea of Christmas...
Do you bake or make gingerbread houses for Christmas? Is this a special tradition you have with your children, grandchildren, spouse? Create a page then, displaying this special tradition.
Victoria used Webster's pattern paper, Martha Stewart gingerbread men and tulle to make it almost look like sugar string (at least that's what i think when i look at it).
