Hi All, Fiona here. Well this is the last week of the Christmas Countdown Challenge. I would just like to say how much I have enjoyed sharing my projects with you over the Festive Season, and I would like to wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas. 




For my last post, I would like to share these gift boxes I have made using the We R memories Gift Box Punch. I have used the Kaisercraft Yuletide Collection to make and embellish these boxes along with some ribbon and gold trim.










I have used these gift boxes to hold a Christmas Decoration and Chocolates as a gift for my son's teachers. These boxes are so easy to make using this amazing tool and in the Artfull Crafts Store you will find others in the We R Memories range!!

Hi All, Fiona here. How time flies we are into week five of the Christmas Countdown. With Christmas just around the corner it is definitely time to get those Christmas Decorations up.

Today I am sharing a Christmas Decoration I have made by up cycling  a book. For this project I have used Kaisercraft Yuletide Collection of papers and embellishments.












First I cut the cover to suit the shape of the specialty paper. I then used Glossy Accents to fuse the pages of the book, once they were dry I cut a cavity out to suit my embellishment sizes I am using and lined it with paper. I have decorated the Kaisercraft Wooden Christmas Tree by embossing it in a green, then decorating it with red and gold beads. The Kaisercraft Wooden Presents have also been embossed in gold. I have used a photo of my son Josh dressed as an elf, which I have cut out to complete the three dimensional effect of my project.


This was such a fun project to do, remember to upload your photo's of any Christmas Decorations you create here for a chance to win in the Christmas Countdown Challenge.

Happy Scrapping

Artfull Crafts Christmas Countdown - Christmas Gifts

Hi all, head over to the Artfull Crafts Blog to see my project for this week, a Christmas Countdown Calendar. Also don't forget to enter the Christmas Countdown Challenge for your chance to win a prize!!


Below is my current post.



Hi All, Fiona here.   We are into week four of the Christmas Countdown, and Christmas is really not that far away. This week’s challenge is Christmas gifts and I would like to share a Christmas Countdown Calendar I have made.






Firstly I brought a Spirax notebook from a stationary store, and cut it down. I then removed the binding, and painted the edges of both covers, added a bit of ribbon to tie and hold the calendar upright, and covered them with paper from the Yuletide collection inside and outside of the cover.




 

I then cut my pages from a fine cardboard, painted the edges with Kaisercraft GoldPaint, and then covered with various papers.




For the numbers I cut them out with my Cuttlebug. I have then decorated each larger page with papers, collectables and other embellishments as seen below.
 



To complete the calendar I  put it back together with the spiral binding and there you have an awesome gift to give to that special someone.

Don't forget to load your photos of  any gifts you make here for the Christmas Countdown, to be in with a chance to win. 

 

Happy Crafting
