Christmas Present for Someone Special

29 November, 2015 - Home for the Holidays

Hello Everyone <3

Today I want to start by telling you that this is my first blogpost with the new collection, Home for the Holydays and I’m thrilled that I can touch and feel these lovely sheets <3

Home-for-the-holidays-P

It’s me, Silje Kristin which will inspire you with three paper bags that I have decorated. The whole idea I got when I wanted to surprise a special person, with something I have close to my heart, my passion <3

I have decorated three brown paper bags and all the bags are decorated with pattern paper from the new collection, I’ve have used paper from the paper pad and the sheets 12×12. One is brown, the other is in red and the last one that stands a little out is blue.

Whoever, my favorite is the one in blue and it is also this one I made for someone I whant to have a special Christmas Eve <3

On the front of the bag I have used a image with a deer on.

The details around are pine needles, flowers, pine cones, stars, frosted berries and cheesecloth.

On the back side of the bag, I have placed two buttons, a bow in one and a flat dot on the top of the both buttons. Around the buttons I’ve used brown twinr to keep the bag close.

The one in brown, has much of the same details as the one in blue, but there are some differences.

The images on this bag is a girl in winter clothes, I have cut here out from a sheet with several image. The deer and the Santa Claus is from the same sheet.

The details are the same, just that some of them are brown. The flowers are from Wild Orchids, the needles was a Christmas decorations that I clippet in pices, so I could use it for this project.

On the back, you can se that the details are the same, here you can also see all the brown half pearls which I have attached in every corner.

God Jul is a dies from kaBoks, God Jul is the norwegian word for Merry Christmas.

The last bag and the one in red, I have chosen to make it with real Christmas Spirit.

The puch, you can see on all the paper bags are a punch from Martha Stewart, called Eyelet Lace.

On the paper bags and on the pattern sheets are all Distresses with Distress Ink Ground Espresso, I do this to give the bags a vintage Christmas / Winter feeling.

Now you’ve seen my special gift bags and I look forwars to being able to give away the other two for someone that means a lot to me <3

I wish you all a great sunday <3

Hello Everyone <3

Today I’m here with a little extra Christmas inspiration to you <3

About two weeks ago I made a box with 8 sides. I made the box my self using thick cardbord also known as chipboards 12×12. When I made this box I would give it a little extra Christmas spirit <3

On the side of the box, I used a Martha Stewart Punch called Eyelet Lace, this is a new personal favorite of mine. The snowflakes are a dies set from Tim Holtz called Mini Snowflake. The set is two snowflakes, and on my box I have placed some of them on top each other. I also decorated these with snow from a box and plastic snow.

The lid of the box is also cut out from chipboards and both sides have patterned paper, even at the edges. The top lid I’ve covered with alot of snow from a box and snow made from plastic. I have made my self a little Christmas story on the top. Christmas Carols in the Snow <3

On the lid I’ve used several dies from Tim Holtz. The Christmas tree in the background is put together with a dies named Evergreen <3 The Deer is from a set with two, called Reindeer Fligthe and the pair where the lady sings and the man plays, named Victorian Carolers. The other details are mushrooms, packages with some bullfinks. The bullfinks is a dies from kaBoks.

The Christmas tree is made from 16 trees that two and two are glued together. This is to get the patterned paper on both sides. In the tree you can see that I have used several Bullfinch.

Below the tree I have 3 red mushrooms and on the other side you’ll find a deer.

The packages I’ve put together myself without a tutorial. Also these are covered with snow and two of them I have placed some birds on.

When you remove the lid, you will see that I have covered the inside with patterned paper and pearl string.

The idea for the project I got when I saw the dies set with the lady and the gentleman from Tim Holtz. I just knew I had to make one project with this and give them the right Christmas atmosphere they deserve <3

For this box I have used paper from different collection from Maja Design:

I wish you all a great weekend <3

Merry Christmas!!! Today I am going to share with you, a Christmas stocking card that I made for a very special lady in Sweden, Marie. Marie is the Designer, of all the Beautiful Maja Design Collections. This is going to be a long post, as I did a tut on the stocking,plus added another couple projects, I did using Maja Design…..
I have a longer supply list on this post, as I decided to do a tut. It may be confusing (LOL),but I took the photo’s in the order as I was working on this,missing a few here & there!!! I used the Vintage Frost Basics Collection

I used:6th of December,21st of December-BS,8th of December,20th of December-BS,Christmas diecuts & BS’s of labels

The Dusty Attic Chipboard used:Vintage Frame,Holly #1 2pk,ATC Frame #1,Lace Border #2 ,Mini Holly #2,All I want for Christmas,Marrakesh Trellis Small,mini heart buttons,Flourish #5,mini Lamp Posts,mini script ABC
Other products: Petaloo:Penny lane-forget me-robin egg blue,Burlap Poinsettias-Ivory,Spring Berry Clusters-Pink,IamRoses:Ivory semi open buds, Prima Marketing:Texture Paste- White Sand,Prima-Clear Crackle,Prima White Crackle,shabby chic treasures-door locks,& Audrey Flowers,Tim Holtz:Distress Glitter,Clear Rock Candy,Frosted Film,Pebbles chalk,Earth tones,Viva:modelling cream,pearl,Etsy ArtwearElements:Vintage White/Ivory Sari Silk recycled ribbon,Burlap,ribbon,pearls
Now,I will do a Tut on how I made this stocking….

I started off by drawing & cutting out the top & bottom, of the stocking on white cardstock. You can use any old paper,as you don’t see it…..
One of the pieces of Dusty Attic I wanted to use is this Vintage Frame,so that is one of my starting points,of designing around the frame….
I then traced &cut out the lower part of the stocking onto the piece of Maja Paper. I glued it onto the cardstock. I use 2 layers,because of my hand stitching. If you are not stitching,you will not need as many layers or backings….
I will first go through my scraps to see what I will use on the stocking…
I traced & cut out the toe & heal of the stocking…
I distressed the edges, & decided to use the Marrakesh Trellis
I glued the Trellis under the heel & toe,then trimmed off the excess…

I glued the Santa onto Dec 20th-BS, cut it out then distressed the edges..
I will also hand stitch this…
Theses hearts are the hearts that are dangling from the ribbon, I glued 2 hearts together with a piece of chain in between.
Then I clamped them together until the glue dried…..
I have now stitched the outside edges of the Santa. I covered the inside part of the Vintage frame with 21st of Dec. I covered the top part of the stocking, I glued some lace on,then hand stitched the top & bottom,leaving the sides until I stitch the stocking together…The piece of chipboard is a piece of the lace border,left over from a project I did before this…
The BS of the top part of the stocking….
Now that I have the top just about done, I placed it on top of the lower part of the stocking,to decide what else I wanted to add….
So, this is what I decided on….
I painted the Frame with white crackle,then once the crackle dried I brushed on some brown chalk,to bring out the cracks,then inked the edges,using a brown ink pad….
I decided to do the frame, as I did the lace,I painted on a thick coat of clear crackle,onto the paper,then attached it to the BS of the frame, (the crackle will act as the glue) then sprinkled on glass glitter & TH glitter while the crackle was still wet….
I used the TH frosted film over top the images….
I glued the BS’s of the label, onto this piece of paper,then cut them out & distressed the edges….

I glued a piece of burlap, onto the top part of the stocking….
These are dry now,so I gave them a coat of cloudy blue paint,let that dry,then I applied a thick coat of clear crackle,sprinkling on the glass glitter & glitter as the crackle was still wet…These will have to dry,then I did the BS the same….
I punched in some eyelets,did some lace work,secured the door locks with brads. I also glued a piece of burlap on the BS of the stocking…
I am now gluing the top of the stocking on to the bottom….
I put weight on it as it dries…
I finished hand stitching the stocking,the glued it on to the 20th of Dec -BS,distressing the edges…I also added the frame & flourish’s. I did the same treatment to those as I did to the frame….
I used white sand texture & glitter on the outside edges….
I used the Viva on the flowers to tone them down,it also adds shine….

Here are some closeups of detail…
Now, for the final touches.On the left side,I made a bow using recycled ribbon,I love it,as it is already tattered & distressed.I then glued on the Petaloo burlap flower, the holly chipboard & the berry clusters..
I also used the Viva on the rose buds.My flower clusters consist of Prima Audrey Collection,Petaloo Penny Lane-robin egg blue,I am roses Ivory semi open buds & Dusty Attic Mini Holly….
I frayed the burlap that I was working with to mix in with the ribbon & to sting beads & tie on the dangling hearts. I also used the frayed burlap for the lacing…
I did the same treatment on the bottom part of the title. I used white sand texture
Added pearls to the Marrakesh Trellis

Here is a LO I did using “A Gift for You”
From “A Gift for You”,Made by Me-BS,Hand written postcard,My dear Friend-BS,from the Frojdefull Jul Collection I used Ringdans, Rindans-BS, The Chipboard used is from Dusty Attic….
Here are some closeups of detail…
For the “red” used on all the chipboard, I used red pepper alcohol ink,then applied a coat of crackle & sprinkled on glitter while the crackle was wet…. For the “white” used on all the chipboard I used Prima white sand texture, I sprinkled on rock candy glitter,or pearl glass glitter,while the texture paste was still wet….

The poinsettia’s are petalloo.I sprayed them with a clear,matte varnish,then sprinkled on glitter,then I applied the white sand texture to the outside edges….

The berry stems are Petalloo…

This is a Prima flower,that I altered. I applied the white sand texture to the outside edges,let dry. Then I sprayed it with varnish,& sprinkled on glass glitter,& rock candy glitter..
I had extra left over from my LO,so I decided to make a card…
The Maja Design used: A Gift for You Collection,Handwritten Post Card,My dear friend-BS,Die cut sheet, From Frojdefull Jul, I used Vavd lopare-BS, the chipboard used is from Dusty Attic
Here is another card I made using the Vintage Frost Basics Collection…

Hi there my lovely Maja Design fans … Christmas is almost here and I have a Tag to showcase today , created with the “Gift for You”, Collection .I always love to include a TAG with my Christmas gifts and make them personal by writing a message on the back of the tag. We have very hot weather for Christmas in Australia and right now we are in the middle of our Summer . I would truly love to experience a White Christmas one day . I adore the striking rich red and white with the Grey BG .I created lots of layers with these glorious papers. Adding a splash of green on the rosebuds . I wanted to create a feel of a white Christmas with this Tag . A side shot showing the many layers of the co-ordinating papers, matching perfectly. I added a small amount of fiber paste with a stencil creating the illusion of snow . There is room on the back of the tag to write a message …. Maja Design Collection used …. A Gift for You …. Given from the heart and sent with Love…Frojdefull Jul ….JULBUKETT and BRODERAD DUK . Bye for now and thanks so much for popping by to look at my work . Take care and happy scrapping .
