Nutcracker Napkin ideas

Well hello again!

Time for my next project for Scrapbookingncraft, and with Christmas just around the corner, I thought I would make some Cutlery Holders for Christmas Dinner.

I mean seriously, how stinkin cute are they! and super easy to make.

I used one of Alexis' Christmas Toy Soldiers Assorted Sizes Paper Napkins from the Scrapbookingncraft Shop along with a die and stamp set from Jaded Blossom.

So while I was playing with the napkin, I decide to also do a page in my Junk Journal.

My toy soldiers are on two different types of tea bags. So cool to see the different effects.

I used the Double Daisy 6 x 4 stencil to add some interest behind my stamped sentiment.

And seeing that one is a pocket, I made some tags to pop in them.

My nice sparkly baubles are 2 of the 4 White Mixed Media cardstock Bauble Swirls (small) set that I have used Glittered embossing powder and heat set. Love how they turned out.

If I have you looking at your napkins in a different way at Christmas, let me know, and be sure to share what you did with them!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Scrapbookingncraft Design Team

Oh I am super excited to be able to say I am now on Mel's Design Team for Scrapbookingncraft. Super excited to be supporting an Australian Small Business in these difficult times.
Mel has so many stencils, napkins and both chipboard and cardstock embellishments for any craft projects. If you are not familiar with her products, jump over to the facebook page or website and have a look around.

Here's my first project, a Scrapbook Page layout.....I know right, me and Scrapbooking! I am loving the adventure I have to say.

I used the Strips Tree Branches stencil, a small Black Cardstock City Sky Scrapers Buildings Borders and a Chipboard Word "Living the Best Life".

My second project, I used one of Alexis' cute as Napkin sets and decorated a gift box and made a matching card.

OMG how cute is the Christmas Panda Toucan Monkey Sloth With Santa Hats. You get 2 napkins which gives you 8 panels total!
I used 2 panels on my gift box and adhered using Gel Medium. One panel directly on my box lid and the other onto cream card stock slightly smaller than the lid. A piece of ribbon and then foam dots for dimension and onto lid. Using Glitter Embossing powder, I stamped my sentiment and heat embossed on both the box lid and my matching card as well. I sanded around the edges on my card to give it a more weathered (okay, nuthouse) look.

I hope I have inspired you with my creations this month and look forward to sharing with you again next month.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Creative Warriors Inspiration # 11

Time for my next project to inspire you, which is using one of the pirate girls from the New Release Pack for Decembers Challenge Yo Ho Ho by Michelle Grant. My sentiment is from Tanya Froud's Ozzie Ozzie pack.

 

If you have been following me, you would have already seen  me making a lot of Christmas Tags.....so I thought why not make another one, right!

The mixed media tag on the left I have used a mixture of Distress inks and Distress paints. I then used a new die my crafty buddy gave me in my Christmas bundle. Great die cut, I will be using this a bit more for sure.

I coloured my festive pirate girl with pencils and around my sentiment with Inktense pencils.

I stamped my branch on the tag and then used Art by Marlene Neon paints Wow and Glow for the two baubles. Added some ribbon on top as the final touch.

My journal card I used part of one of the background sheets, distressed the edges and then added a piece of vellum on top and stitched around the edge.

My Joy bauble is a die cut I had left over from the 12 Days of Christmas Tags and it really fits this very well.

Don't forget to share with us any of your projects over on the Michelle's Creative Warriors Facebook group, we'd love to see them.

I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Christmas no matter where you are or what you are up to.

I look forward to sharing some more inspirational projects with you next year.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 12 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Oh no, it the very last tag of 12 Days of Christmas Tags!

Again, a few techniques to really keep us interested and intrigued!

I have say that I have learnt so much more that I thought I would. 

I have enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.

If you get the chance to do one of these, jump right in, you will not regret it. 

I certainly will be watching next year to see if we get to play again.

I hope you have enjoyed following along with me and here's the 12 Tags on their ring.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Oh wow - I learnt another amazing technique with this tag!

How much fun is this tag, seriously, so much going on and to look at!

Sad that only one more tag to go.

See you tomorrow with my last of the 12 tags.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 10 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Not going to lie, this one was a challenge!

I used the frame for an early tag that I didn't have the die cut for, so naturally, I probably used the bit I needed for this one. But, I made do with what I had left of it and think I did an okay job!

See you tomorrow with Day 11 - only 2 more tags left! Can you believe it, almost done.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Out with the embossing powders again and wow, what a difference that makes.

You always forget that you can emboss your die cuts to change them - well I do anyway.

A bit more stitching and glossy accents again as well.

See you tomorrow with Day 10 and another fun tag, I am really enjoying this process!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 8 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Day 8 is so sweet with the two birds!

What you can't tell from the photo is how shimmery those die cut branches are. I sprayed them with Perfect Pearls.

See you tomorrow with Day 9 and another fun tag!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

LOL, it wasn't until I went to glue this stack on my tag that I realised I stuck my rice paper trees on sideways....which still works as Believe is sideways - guess my brain was thinking that way!

In my defense starting my new job has my headspace a bit scrambled at the moment.

I used my Wink of Stella on the Believe die cut instead of embossing powder to get a glittery shine, that is way to small and fiddly for my fat fingers!

Ok, I look forward to Day 8's tag!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

24 Tags of Christmas

Have you been enjoying the Gecko Galz 24 Tags of Christmas?

Ok, this is my 2nd Tag I made. 

Oh my, how sweet!

These gorgeously sweet girls are from the Very Vintage Christmas Set.

I fussy cut them out and adhered onto my tag.

My tag I made from a book page that I had used for mopping up some distress oxide inks when doing my Junk Journal Challenge last month. 

I added a strip of lace to the bottom and used my sewing machine to go around the border for a more vintage look. (LOL, I tell myself that).

My saying is one of my Gold Foil Planner Stickers.

Then a bit of seam binding in the punched hole and a super sweet tag.

I hope you like my tag, and I have one more to show you on the 19th!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 6 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Here we are again with yet another completely different tag to create.

You can't tell, but I spritzed my die cut branches with a white Shimmer Spray from my stash, as well as a pale blue, which did not want to work so well.

Boy were my fingers very sticky when I finished this tag.

Instead of using some of the beads from Tag 1 (in the bauble shaker), I decided to use some red rhinestones instead. LOL, the thought of putting every more glue on my fingers and trying not to rip the branches with them was a bit too much, so rhinestones it was.

It is different and was fun to create.

So now I have officially made the 1/2 way mark - 6 out of 12 tags completed!

And this is what that stack looks like.

See you tomorrow with Day 5!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 5 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

I am amazed with the different style and techniques these tags are taking.

I am having a whole lot of fun learning new ways to do things and use things with/for.

We got this gorgeous Resin Deer head to play with today. 

My tag is slightly different to the instructions as I could no find the filmstrip die cut I was meant to use. I did find a Gold Glitter frame die cut so decided to use a part of it and go with that.

I like it, and if I didn't tell you, you would not know!

See you tomorrow with Day 6!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Christmas Dreams for Ukraine

Have you entered this month's Customer Challenge over at Gecko Galz yet?

The theme is Christmas Dreams.

With that in mind, I decided to make a card for those in Ukraine who are still having to endure so much that they should not have had to still be doing. My heart and prayers go out to them all.

 

I used one of the Sunflower images from Sunflowers for Ukraine along the Bingo card and one of the tickets from Altered Christmas Sheet. 

I sponged around all the edges before I adhered everything,

I really like how it turned out and truly hope that 2023 sees an end to the pain and destruction they are having to suffer.

Now it's your turn to show me what you can do this month - you have until the 29th to get your entry blogged and onto the blog page. Why not try an image from the Newsletter freebies as well.

It really is worth the try to have some fun and maybe win $25 to spend in the store along your way!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 4 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

Out with the sewing machine again.

This is a wonderful tag with the added pocket.

A new way to use that pom pom (bobble) ribbon!

I am learning so many new techniques to use my stash. So glad I signed up for this Kit!

Can't believe we are a third of the way through already.

See you tomorrow with Day 5!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 3 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

A different tag completely today.

I wasn't sure if we were to cut the smaller kraft tag down to fit so I just left to overhang a bit. It still looks okay to me. 

Isn't that the good thing about craft, when in doubt, do what makes you happy!

See you tomorrow with Day 4!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Here is Day 2 of 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly.

So today we have layers and layers - 10 in all!

A bit of fussy cutting and modeling paste with our own stencils.

I have to tell you that my "2" has three coats of Glossy Accents on it as I kept finding it on my desk with my finger or the side of my hand, until I decided to move it completely off my desk! 

I need to get a few border type stencils - maybe one or two might be under the tree for me?

I start a new job tomorrow so will make a start on Day 3 tag as it will be a big day for me and I want to keep with my tag a day to show you all.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas Tags

Goodness I am in love with these tags!

When I saw the 12 Days of Christmas Tags by Scrapping Clearly, a craft store here in Australia I just had to buy them and give them a go. I am so glad I did.

Wowsers!

Day 1 and a sparkly shaker Tag! Doesn't get much better than that does it?

You get 99% of things you need to create each of the 12 cards. 

Just follow the instruction booklet and have fun!

So I got this wonderful package today and made my start.

If you are into Mixed Media or what to start, this is the perfect way to start.

I will endeavor to keep on track and show you me new tag each day !!!!!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Christmas Traditions

It's been a while since I joined in the Facebook Challenges over at Gecko Galz.

I thought I would create a card and use the Card Sketch for inspiration.

I'm pretty please with how she turned out.....It's been a while since I made a card with so many layers!

Looking at the Challenge list, I should be able to enter her in 3 of them, so that's a bonus!

My Background strip is from Gecko Galz Christmas Traditions ATC set and my girl from the new Christmas Fantasy Tin Topper.

Why not give it a go and join us too?

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
