Club Scrap Christmas Thyme Blog Hop

Welcome to the Garden Shed Holiday Blog Hop

with inspiration for your  Christmas cards

and projects for 2015 with the digital

Christmas Thyme  images 

by Club Scrap.

Hope you have arrived here from

Kelly's Blog

and seen her beautiful artwork.

If you happen to loose your way you

can always go back to the

Club Scrap Blog.

I came up with two projects for you:

a pop-up card and a decorative tree stand.

I found a wonderful tutorial on the Splitcoaststampers

for this free standing pop up card HERE. 

There is also a video. It is quite easy to make

and you can flatten it for sending.

Picture I made at a flower show last week

for inspiration,

As it was to late for sending me the real set with

papers and stamps, I used papers I had and the

digital images of this Christmas Thyme kit. 

It combined perfectly with the paper I still have 

from the Crewel & Unusual kit. 

Here you see the flattened version of the card.

The tag is inside the card and moves upward and

out when you fold the card open.

Sideview of the card and popped up tag.

My next project is this wooden tree. I found it at my favourite

dollar store and had right away the idea of covering it

with printed Christmas Thyme paper. I printed the 

papers on ordinary copy paper, which is wonderful for

glueing to the wooden tree. A little extra yellow from

the Crewel & Unusual papers for the star on top.

Start by tracing the tree on the backside of the

printed paper and cut the two pieces (front and back)

at the same time.

With Club Scrap bookbinding glue the papers

where fasted to the tree.

Even without decoration the tree looks beautiful.

So here are some of the printed images I have

used to decorate the tree. I colored the images

with pencil.

On one side I used  the thyme wreath

and inside i stamped a wish from an older set.

(I just had to stamp something!) and

at the bottom some of the pinecones colored

with a white pencil.

And on the other side with a large sentiment.

On the star on top I added a gemstone on

both sides. I finished it off with a green

ribbon on the bottom of the tree.

Now it is thyme to hop on and see what

the wonderful Wendy has on her blog for you.

Thank you so much for looking

and have a creative day!
