A little bit of Christmas with Vicki Boutin Warm Wishes

Hello everyone, I hope you are all keeping well as the excitement of Christmas builds!  I was lucky to be able to dive into ATDML's shop during the retreat and pick up lots of gorgeous Christmas bits from Vicki Boutin's Warm Wishes range.  It is lovely, packed with traditional colours and papers you can cut a part as well as this super wreath already done for you.  I used the wreath as my backdrop and then cut out some poinsettia and baubles from 'Tis the Season and Deck the Halls.  I went all out with glitter and carefully added a silver edge using some stickler, just to make it shine and then glitter the poinsettia too.  That bit was a little messy!

I used the title and tag from the ephemera pack that co-ordinates with this range

as well as a few red pearls to add some more berries.

As someone that does not normally like fussy cutting these papers are perfect and very forgiving, nice and easy to cut out.

I continued with the bauble theme and this time mixed in some really old Crate Paper chipboard baubles too.  I carefully hung them all with silver thread and then added a few little embellishments such as ribbon and punched stars and snowflakes.

Here you can see the vellum snowflakes which are glued behind the pearl in the middle.

Wishing you all a super Christmas.

November Virtual Crop with Tracy

Tracy here, with your last class of today.

I was so happy to be designing with these lovely Friendship themed papers from Photoplay, featuring so many perfect sentiments for the wonderful, and just ever so slightly crazy, friends I am so lucky to have.  

My photo's aren't the most flattering, for me or my friends, but I am so pleased I have documented these memories.  It's the little things that we forget, which is why we all do this hobby I guess.

I hope you enjoy the classes and I can't wait to see your versions.   

November Virtual Crop with Katherine

 

Hello everyone, I hope you are all keeping well.  For my class you will create 3 layouts with an absolutely gorgeous set of papers from P13 called Free Spirit.  All of the layouts are quite different, some distressing, some inkiness - it is a mixture!

I hope you enjoy the class.  Here is the link.

November Virtual Crop - Class 1 with Mel

 Good morning all, welcome to the first class of today's Virtual Crop. This month I worked with the "And Many More" collection from Pink Paislee, one of my layouts is a birthday one to match the theme of the papers but my second is not themed as I like to show the versatility of even a heavily themed collection.

I love clean and simple layouts but I am often guilty of being unable to stop and leave lots of white space so I tried in this layout to be a bit more minimalist. If that's not your thing you can easily adapt and add a bit more with either extra layering, some doodling, mixed media elements or more photos.

Don't forget to come back at 12 for Katherines class and to post your layouts on our Facebook group ATDML # Create

October Virtual crop with Kaisercraft and Tricia

 Good morning Campers

I hope you are enjoying today's classes, in this class I'll be using Kaisercraft's Flowering natives class. This range is full of fresh greens, dusky pinks and floral patterns begging to be fussy cut.

The patterns in Flowering natives could be straight out of a botanical handbook and I loved the handwritten script papers and butterflies - they are perfect for photos of days out in nature.  I also  used a variation of techniques to create layers throughout the layout

October virtual class with Karen

 Hi everyone... Dolly here wishing you a happy October. 

 

No matter what October means to you, be that Autumn colour, pumpkins, Halloween or just being warm and cozy, I have a class for you today using the gorgeous Graphic 45 Misnight Tales collection of papers and stickers. 

I know that Halloween is becoming increasingly popular as a celebration here in the UK, but even if, like me, you don't celebrate Halloween, there are so many things you can do with these papers. The colours are lush and they can be really versatile. 

I have two pages for you - one Halloween based and one not. This is the non Halloween one featuring my own cute little monster, Indy. 

You can find the fuull instructions for both pages HERE and i hope you will enjoy the class and share what you make in our facebook group. 

Have fun and keep enjoying this beautiful Autumn x
