Directions
·
Paint your box with gold craft paint
·
Apply gold embossing powder to your title chippie
DC90 002 and heat emboss
·
Cover your Holly chippie DC90 011 with
green ink. Apply some red embossing
powder to the holly berries and heat emboss.
Swipe a few stripes of white acrylic paint to highlight the leaves. Once dry, apply glossy accents and set aside
to dry. Then cut from frame
·
From C90 001, cut a green strip that reads
‘Happy Holidays’ and ‘Merry Christmas’ and use this as the spine of your
book. Adhere with Tombow
·
Cover the front and the back of your book with
C90 005 (red side up). Adhere with
Tombow and sand off any protruding edges
·
Adhere your title chippie to the upper portion
of your book. Fussy cut some holly
leaves from C90 005; and then create a flower and leaf cluster below your
title, using the flowers, leaves, metal trinket(s) and the fussy cut holly
leaves. Swipe with a little heavy white
gesso
·
Cover the inner left hand side page of your book
with C90 008 (checkered side up). Sand off any protruding edges and then
ink all around with brown. Using your
DS059 stencil, stencil some of the design onto this page with green ink and
your blending tool; use a coloured pencil to ‘shade’ your leaves. Then apply some gold crackle paste through
the swirls of the stencil around the green inked portion. Once dry, adhere your DC90 011 holly
chippie over the stencilled design you’ve created
·
Fussy cut the Santa from C90 003, adhere to
some craft cardstock and fussy cut around him again. Create an ‘L-shaped’ stand, as he is going to
be in the foreground of the inner part of your book. Fussy cut some Christmas trees from
C90 007 and a snowman family from a sheet from your Carders Pack and chalk
the edges with brown
·
Cut a piece of C90 006 down to measure the
inner portion of the box part of your book. Adhere with Tombow and dry brush
some white craft paint across the central part
·
Arrange and adhere your fussy cut trees and
snowman family to this; use both Tombow and foam dots to create a 3D effect
·
Adhere your fussy cut Santa to the bottom framed
part of your book so that he stands in the forground
·
Pull your cotton pads apart and cut them to
resemble snow (icicles for the upper frame of your box and mounds for the lower
part). Adhere these accordingly (as
shown in the photographs) with Tombow.
Arrange and adhere some more pieces of cotton pads around and behind
your Santa so that it appears that he is walking in snow
·
Fussy cut some of the snowflakes from a sheet
from your Carders Pack and arrange and adhere these to the upper section of
‘icicle’ snow
·
Finish off the characters and trees in this
section with glitter glue
