Christmas trinket box and rosette tree/Home for the Holidays Blog Hop

Hello there hoppers! Lynne here with a little display made up of a trinket box I made using  the Gypsy Soul Lasercuts Treasure Chest and Studio75's Christmas Gift paper set. I was privileged to be invited to participate in this blog hop, and I know there'll be a lot of awesome projects for you to see along the way! Have fun!

I love to fussy-cut, so after I covered the chipboard pieces with patterned paper, I added cutout images for interest and dimension . The berries and little latch were from my stash.

I made a loop bow out of strips of paper for the top, inked the edges and added some tulle. I then topped it off with a bird image cut from the paper.

I purchased a tree made with rosette folds somewhere over the summer and used it as a pattern for this one, folding an 18" long piece that was about 2-1/2' wide for the bottom layer, then getting a little smaller for the two other ones/ I used a holly border punch before folding them They were glued to a skewer, then into a thread spool which I also covered with paper. A chunky gold bead and a white plastic snowflake finished it off.

I like soft colours, even at Christmas, so this project with these papers was perfect for me, and was a lot of fun to put together. I hope you enjoyed seeing it and maybe even found a little inspiration here....wishing you a wonderful Christmas season xx

"Hearts" card for Scrap and Craft

hello crafty friends! I'm here today with a dimensional card I created for Scrap and Craft with the beautiful Violet Love collection by Studio75. I've been really enjoying hunting down interesting card designs to try with the lovely papers carried here at Scrap and Craft; I definitely want to adapt this one to a Christmas card design

Studio 75 Violet Love 12x12 paper pack
Adhesive pearls, pink

Other than a few adhesive pearls, I kept my embellishments flat so the card would fold flat enough to go into an envelope.

The paper is so delicate and pretty, and comes with a sheet of sentiments, so you can make a beautiful card for any occasion! I'd love to see what you create with Violet Love...have a wonderfully creative week xx

"Berry Cherry" birthday card for Scrap & Craft

Hello dear crafters! Lynne here with a step card featuring a combination of papers from two Studio75 collections, "The Berry Copse" and "Cherry Blossom". I found the neutral papers in the two packs coordinated beautifully together, and the soft green was a lovely complement as well.

I started with a 6" x 12" strip; after a few folds and cuts I ended up with this stand-up shape

I left the chipboard piece uncoloured as the natural shade matched the papers so well:

Cherry Blossom paper pack, 12x12
Organza Rose trim , ecru

So glad you stopped by, and I hope you enjoyed seeing my card!! Have a wonderful, colourful, creative week!

"Together"-a layout for Scrap & Craft

Hello dear crafty friends! I'm sharing  a layout for Scrap & Craft's Design Team using some of Studio 75's beautiful "The Peony Avenue" papers. I wanted a monochromatic look and loved the different grey patterns in this paper line.The brick pattern was perfect to cut around and make a shaped photo mat, and I made my own flowers with some of the paper as well.

The title piece looks gold in the photo, but was heat-embossed in Antique Silver to coordinate with the silver texture paste and metal quote strip in the lower right corner. I also added hand-stitching with embroidery floss.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I wish you a wonderful and creative week! xo

Cherry Blossoms boxes for Scrap & Craft

Hello crafters!! This is Lynne and spring is finally here in Canada- I'm so pleased to see it! The lovely patterns in the Cherry Blossoms paper inspired me to decorate these plain 4" wooden boxes I found at a thrift store a while back-the small patterns in the 6x6 paper pack were perfect for a project this size.

I used pink tulle to embellish the tops of two of the boxes, with diecut flowers on one and sweet pink Cherry Blossoms on the other. The third box was embellished with a fancy diecut heart. I used three different types of pearls, one on each box, and fussy cut some flowers to add interest as well. The loops and spirals were just strips cut from the patterned paper. All edges were inked in charcoal grey.

I used:

I hope you enjoyed seeing my project, and I wish you a wonderful and creative week! xoxo
