On the FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS .....

On the FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS ...
My true love made for me .
 
Some AWESOME Christmas Decorations by
 
Vicki Alberto
 
I am so in the Christmas spirit right now.
 
 

I made these little decorations the other day, using 2 packs of Dusty Attic chipboard (DA0199). I finished the chipboard with gesso, glimmer mist, DA clear crackle varnish (DA0900) and some diamond dust. Why use 2 packs of chipboard? I wanted them really thick, sturdy and double sided so I glued them back to back. The bauble trinkets are Prima and the seam binding is hand crinkled and tinted using glimmer mist.

On the FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS .....

HELLO EVERYONE and Welcome to the 
TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
 with the Dusty Attic Design Team .....

On the first day of Christmas my true love created for me .... A truly amazing Advent Calender 
done by Vicki Alberto 



Something old, something new and definitely not blue? I made an advent calendar last year for a class I was teaching, thinking I was going to give it away as a gift. I knew it didn't match my house style (a bit too rustic and blue), but it was perfect for the class. Well, I selfishly decided to keep it. So, I changed the numbers and took out the middle (since I had never glued it down permanently). I finished a Dusty Attic advent insert so it now matches my house a bit more. My Chrismas colours are burgundy, pink, white and gold.

Here is a closer look at the numbers (stacked new white ones on top of the old brown ones), the advent insert and even the brand new mini fence. The gold trees I found at Michaels. I finished the chipboard with gesso, gold glimmer mist, stickles, diamond dust and snow writer for dimension. 

What did I do with the "old" middle of the calendar? I heavily distressed the edges, added some lace and glued it down onto a folded sheet of cardstock. This oversized card is 4x12 inches and features the Santa and reindeer chipboard as well as a mini word title. To see my the rustic version of this calendar, see last year's post HERE.

Thanks for joining me on the blog today!

Will be back tomorrow with the
