Sunday scrap Page: Merry Christmas

Crafting for Christmas with a toilet paper roll makes a perfect

page for Christmas. I found the idea on Pinterest.

Cutting the rols, painting them and after they were dry,

decorating them with baubles and stars (using oma's punches).

Papers are Club Scrap Office Space as well as the ribbon.

The stamped trees are by Michael Strong. They come

in various sizes and also have matching metal dies

for cutting. I stamped in red and green and also cut some

trees that were not stamped.

On top of two trees you see stamped stars. These are

also by Michael Strong.

The sentiment is by Stampin'Up!.

Owen had a wonderful time making the tree

and I hope you all have 

a wonderful time enjoying 

Chritmas with your loved ones.

Saturday Sketch card: Mojo Monday 475

My card sketch today is for the Mojo Monday blog

and of course for day 26 of the color challenge.

For this card I used some design papers from my stash,

the Michael Strong rubber stamp tree and a sentiment

from Club Scrap.

You find all the details of the 

Monday Mojo blog here.

As I stamped my image on kraft paper, embossed it with 

gold embossing powder and colored it with a white 

pencil and a white gel pen.

I added a few sticky pearls in kraft color to the tree

All the details of the colorchallenge can be found on

The daily Marker Blog.

Thanks for looking

and a have a creative day.

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!

Ctlc Quick Christmas Cards

Today I am in need of a few quick Christmas cards

and for this digital images with only a little coloring

are perfect. For these cards I used the christmas tree

by Create with TLC and 

a sentiment from Stampin'Up!.

Just some designers papaper and 2 markers and a

white gel pen was all that I needed for these cards.

Here you see the result and I even added a few sticky gemstones

to make the card more Christmassy.

They are so easy to mae, so once I get everything cut and 

the trees printed and colored, I had a bunch done today.

Of course, even though there is just a little coloring,

this card is for day 25 of the color challenge on

The Daily Marker Blog.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
