The Night Before Christmas

The layout I’m sharing today is using the lovely free cut file Night Before Christmas, that’s out today.

I choose to cut it really large on white cardstock & then misted & splattered it in a variety of different colours before attaching it to black cardstock to make it stand out, to help it a little I drew all around the edge of it with a white pen.

I then made a photo mat using a variety of different papers & added it to the page over a wood slice, I added a few bits of ephemera around the photo cluster, a doily, flair badges, puffy stickers & a lovely red glitter bow. I finished the page with a few splashes of silver color shine & some silver texture paste through a stencil.

Thanks for looking today & I wish you all a great Christmas & a happy new year, xoxo

Elf on the Shelf

Hi everyone, Julie back with you again today sharing a Christmas layout made with one of the new files in the store The Favorite Things cut file.

As you can see this cut file has many cuts on it but I choose to use just the elf one. My children are older now & our elf is just a Christmas decoration but I love the concept of this tradition, an elf keeping an eye on things & reporting back to Santa. I deleted all the other cuts & super sized the elf one, cutting it in a woodgrain paper. I then added fax stitching around it with a white pen. On the right hand side of the opening I made a vellum pocket & added a few sequins. I layered a bunch of papers behind the photo & stuck it all down under the word Elf. I added a bit of gold texture paste & stencilled some red dots to the background & to finish off the page I added a couple of flair badges, some ephemera & a lovely red tassel.

Thanks for joining me today & I’ll be back nearer Christmas, xoxo
