Christmas Bucket List - Kerstin Filou

 Hello everyone!

 

 December has started, and everyone is searching for the ideal present again. 

But there are more significant things, especially during this time of year.

 This is the focus of my project today. 

I created a canvas with a modified wish list that serves  as a reminder of the special moments of the Christmas season.

Merry Christmas - Heather Woodall

 Good morning

Well, I've gone and started my Christmas projects, and I couldn't resist scrapping this super cute Christmas photo.

I've used The Christmas Time range from Art Alchemy as my base starting point. I've kept the papers pretty simple so that the photo and the chipboard are the main focus. I've just added a little bit of fussy cutting in the bottom right corner. and finished that corner off with some glitter, I mean, who wouldn't, it's a Christmas project.

I've then done some gold foiling on the Christmas baubles. I've done it so that it's not completely set so that it looks old and some of the natural chipboard is showing through.

The rest of the chipboard I have coloured with my Prisma Colour Pencils, and some parts I've added Glossy Accents or Kindy Glitz to, to add some shine. I've just then glued them to my page laying it out to look like a full wreath with hanging baubles from the top of my page. I have attached them using clear drying glue.

Below are all of the chipboard pieces that I've used and they can all be found on the Dusty Attic webiste - Dusty Attic – Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business – Dusty Attic is an Australian owned and operated Laser Cutting business, which designs and manufactures craft items and embellishments.

Merry Christmas to you - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn - Mood Board Inspiration

 Hi there,

A very merry Christmas to you all! Dusty Attic has the perfect moodboard for December - the colours in the moodboard reminded me so much of Christmas.

This inspired me to create a Christmas layout - and of course Dusty Attic has some really awesome Christmas chipboard. Here is my layout:

The paper is from Celebr8  and Stamperia. The frame is one of a few sizes from the "Get Frames-Postage- Rectangular" pack (DA2675). I painted this with acrylic paint and then added stickles, and adhered the frame to the photo. 

I have then painted the Holiday Spray (DA3172) and the Merry Christmas disc (DA3149) and have adhered these to the page, placing my photo and frame in top of these for dimension.  Stickles have been added the berries of the Spray. 

I have layered flowers and then added the gorgeous little reindeer (DA3154) to the flower cluster 

The Christmas ornaments are also painted with acrylic paint and have stickles added to them. I then thread some silver thread through, and made them "hang" from the top of the page and under the photo.

The title was added from Christmas Postmark #2 (DA3148), and I finished off with some gold Prima beads added to the Holiday Spray

These are the products I have used:

Thanks for visiting the blog - wish you all a safe, happy and wonderful Festive season.

Hugs,

Michelle

Hello and welcome to a new year of Happy crafting with my all time favourite Dusty Attic products!

Inspired by the calming colours of the January Moodboard, I used the Christmas Baubles, Candles and Ornate as base for my project this month.

The idea was to create something more elegant but then once again the grunge and texture just took over! I think it's knowing the chipboard can handle all that I throw at it that affects the outcome. After gesso'ing I added Paper Texture Paste as well as white Crackle paste to most of the chippies. 

I followed by spraying with Cafe au Lait and Whale Watch Blue from Lindy's Stampgang. On the Houses I used Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Spray. 

The Candles were painted with Allegro Acrylics from Stamperia, Gold Sand and Cappuchino. I also used some Designer Leaf on the Wax Drippings.

On this Bauble I used the Oxide Spray on the Pot, Column and the Moon. A little Designer Leaf was added to the Moon as well. 

The Ribbon Banners where soaked in water and distress. After drying they were Gesso'd and painted with the Stamperia paints as well. 

I added Flowers and dry Roots and used Stained Wood Wax to highlight the crackles and texture from the Paper paste.

Some Chunky Glitter adds a touch of sparkle to these Baubles.  All of these and many new designs are available in the Dusty Attic on-line shop.
