Hi, it's Christine here on the blog today and I would like to share with you a Christmas layout that I made with my Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit. I love stretching my supplies and so after making a few special cards with the kit, I decided that I would really love to have a Christmas layout with the lovely Pink Paislee City Sidewalks holiday paper.

Hi, it's Christine here on the blog today and I would like to share with you a Christmas layout that I made with my Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit. I love stretching my supplies and so after making a few special cards with the kit, I decided that I would really love to have a Christmas layout with the lovely Pink Paislee City Sidewalks holiday paper.
Most of the time when I create a
layout I usually cut up my patterned paper so the 8x8 pieces were
actually super easy to use. I just layered the papers on kraft paper
for the look I wanted, cut away a bit here and there, and I had my
layout base ready to go.
Next, it was time to embellish my layout. There was a vertical seam between
the striped and snowflake paper that I wasn't happy about so I adhered
my ribbon over the seam and tied the ends in a knot. That gave me a
place to hang my tag and use the holly leaves. I love the dimension
that the holly leaves and the BasicGrey wax seals give to my layout.
They were fun embellishments in the Simon Says Stamp Card Kit that I
might not normally use on a layout, but, that is what I love about kits.
There are always bits and pieces of fun things that you might not think
to use.
I
also used a pack of the Pink Paislee City Sidewalks Ephemera along with
the Simon Says Stamp December Card Kit to decorate my page. I love ephemera and there was so much to choose from in this pack. The holly leaves were adhered over the number 25 with foam adhesive and the little
peppermint candies were perfect on my tag. You can also see some more
tickets and cards from the Ephemera pack below on my tag.
Well
that's all from me today. Hopefully I have helped you look at your
Simon Says Stamp Card Kit in a new way. It's not just for card makers
anymore!
Happy Holidays to all!

ReplyDeleteThis is great! I'd love to learn how to use my other card kits in layouts as well. I always have leftover papers, but I'm never quite sure how to make 6x6 papers work on a 12x12 layout (and make it look seamless), but you did it here! Thank you for the inspiration!

Thanks for sharing. I don't do scrapbooking but I can see how well those papers coordinate. My kit arrived in the mail a couple of days ago, in addition to loads of other crafting goodies I snagged in the Black Friday sale. Also love the stamp set that was included in the set. Hopefully, I'll manage to use it before this year's Christmas.
ReplyDeleteawesome awesome awesome. I'm so glad I was able to grab up this kit again this month.. So many great pieces on that scrapbook page layout. thanks for sharing
