I grabbed this AB Studios - Christmas Days collection a year ago at a local retreat weekend and have been “saving” it… I don’t know what I’ve been saving it for, just didn’t want to use it cause it’s so cute.
But of course that just doesn’t do my overflowing craftroom any good..
As I signed up for another upcoming Christmas swap, I thought it would be the perfect collection to use.
Criteria is a bag / holder + Shaker card + Tag and include a Recipe.. Using the same papers for the all the projects.
I had so much fun, I added a couple extras.
Rosettes, Notepad, Bookmark & Bauble..
Let me know what you think! Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..
About a year ago, I was teaching at a local craft store.. I had two beautiful ladies that came for a weekly private beginner class session. It was wonderful seeing their creativity shine and confidence improve every week.. We started off slow with some basic style layouts, but thankfully they loved them too.
Today I'm sharing their unique Christmas layouts..

My very first Christmas themed project for this year... I absolutely love how this pocket letter swap turned out.. It had a criteria of being Aussie Christmas theme.
I used Aussie Grunge paper collection and colour cuts from Scrapbook Fantasies.. Adding in some silver glitter cardstock to feature some sparkle too..

With inspiration for an upcoming BOX CARD swap, I threw together a card (at the bottom) using the measurement specs in the criteria, but I really didn't like it much, so I made it smaller and adding extra boxes.. I'm definitely more happy with this one.
Using Kaiser - A Christmas Tale collection to create a card that I will be sending off to personally to beloved family members..
It folds flat to 5X7" for easy postage..
They are so easy to make, it is literally folding open ended boxes, then gluing them on top of each other..

First box card made for an upcoming swap.. Using Uniquely Creative - Mind Over Matter collection
A few months ago while making an Easel card for a swap, I got an idea......... How about an Easel Scrapbook layout....... This intrigued me so much that I got planning right away! It did take about a week for me to come up with the perfect way to attach the easel flappy bit to the base though seamlessly.. This was important to me.
It finally occured to me to use the long barcode strip that we usually just cut off cardstock or pattern paper before we use it. I simply scored it then glued the easel paper piece onto that.. It folds up and closed with ease... yay!!
Easel Scrapbooking Layout
I used a Kasiercraft collection for this and did use up a fair chunk of the papers and colour cuts within this design as I knew I bought the collection solely for this project purpose.
Something I really struggle is using up entire collections on one project unless I know at the time of purchase that that is the plan... lol
This can of course differ in design style with limitless options for flaps, pockets and photos.. I even added a shaker underneath the main front feature photo.
It would make a unique gift for a birthday, wedding, party for signatures or any other celebration as you could use this as home decor by putting it on display to admire.. (I have a Christmas Easel layout scheduled on this blog soon, so definitely keep your eye out for that)
Let me know what you think! Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..
This sketch is certainly completely different to the actual DT layout I put together using this design..
The biggest change would be that my DT layout I used cut out stars as a shaker element, but here I've used a star stencil on top of a white cardstock base for a flatter style feature.
