Toni says:

“When my youngest two boys went to a childcare Christmas tree event in 2003, I couldn’t get good photos, but I still wanted to scrap the story. By keeping the photos small and the layout simple the story is the focus of the layout. The rub on baubles running down the side of the journalling draws the eye to the story.’

“Santa’s List” Layout by Toni Crane

Products used:
Silly Season Candy Cane (P726), Cracker (P725), Fruit Cake (P723), Elf (P724), Milk & Cookies (P728), Dasher (PS163), Silly Season Chipboard (CB133), Silly Season Jewels (RS424), Silly Season Rub ons (RB937), Silly Season Journal Tags (JT626).

Toni says:

“Teaming some of the plainer papers with the busy background papers provides a great contrast and backdrop for your Christmas photos . I’ve used the Product strip from ‘Elf’ to add a strip of Christmas trees under the photo which adds dimension. A chipboard tree, layered with one cut from ‘Dasher’ and the rub ons, all topped with a jewels add the required Christmas bling.”

“Thanks for stopping by and maybe you will have a pink Christmas this year?”

“Thanks” Heart-Air Balloon Card by Pearl Lui

Materials Used: Silly Season Milk & Cookies (P728), Gingerbread (P729), Friends Rub-on (RB891);
Other: Embroidery floss, Bazzill cardstock, EK Success and Martha Stewart punches

Pearl Says:
” I love dimension, but dimensional cards are hard to get through the mail without them getting crushed. So today, I’m here to share with you one of my favorite ways to create a dimensional card but still have no issues mailing it.
Here’s what you’ll need: Shape punches, scoring tool, embroidery floss” :

“My favorite part is that you can flatten the card to mail it without bulk.”

“And then your recipient can very easily fold the heart balloon right back up.”

1. “Punch a few shapes (3-5) of the same size and score down the middle of each
2. Attach shapes to base cardstock with embroidery floss or a strong sewing machine down the scored middle
3. Fold the shapes up create dimension”

“It’s so easy and fun to make, so I hope you’ll try these kinds of cards too. You can use circle shapes to make circle ornaments or bubbles of all sizes. You can use square or diamond shapes to make dimensional kites. The possibilities are endless! If you give it a try, don’t forget to comment with a link of your card, so we can see what you’ve made!”
