Holly Jolly Scrapbook Workshop

Good Evening!

I have been working on a Holly Jolly Scrapbooking Workshop over the past few weeks.  I have incorporated some Cricut images as well as used the Holly Jolly - Scrapbooking Stamp & Thin Cuts set.  This is the same stamp & thin cuts set used for the Days of December Album ( I am teaching an online class Nov 27th at 7 pm and would love to have you join me.)  and I used it on a card I made on yesterdays blog post as well.

This workshop contains 3 - 2 page layouts.  You can get the directions for the workshop from me when you spend $30 with me before shipping & tax. Including a Design Space cutting file.  Just send me a message letting me know that you would like the directions for this workshop.  If you are interested in a pre-cut kit send me a message or comment and we can figure that out.

"Paper Layering" CTMH Technique Blog Hop



Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop!  
This month there are 10 of us highlighting the “Paper Layering” Technique!  This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.  

 If you get lost along the way Melissa has a complete list of hop.

If you are coming from Darlys Blog, you are on the right track! 

I have 2 projects that I created using this technique.  I hope you enjoy them.

 Card #1 - Season's Greetings  
For this card I layered embossed paper, strips of Holly Jolly paper, a stitched rectangle and die cut holly.  I love the look of the background paper that is embossed with the snowflake embossing folder.  The dimension you get when you layer paper makes a card or layout pop.  I used a bit of thin 3-D foam tape behind the holly die cuts.  


I have added Diamond Stickles to the elves hats.

Supply List for Season's Greeting Card:  
Z2497 - Dark Red TriBlend marker
Sorry retired ShinHan markers as that is what I had for green & skin  but these current markers would be the same.
Z2485 Light Green TriBlend marker
Z2476 - Fair Skin TriBlend marker

 Card #2 - Christmas Blessings
I have used a few other paper layering techniques in this card using the
November Stamp of the Month - Family Time and the Connecting Circles overlay from the Artbooking Cricut Collection.  Here is a picture tutorial of how I created this card.
Finished Card.  Just look at all those layers and dimension.


To start with I stamped out like a million of the leaf image in Candy Apple and Clover ink.  I also stamped out the centers in Saffron ink.  I then fussy cut them all out using my favorite our non-stick scissors.  There will be a layout coming soon using these too.  

I cut a circle using the 2nd smallest of the Basic Circles thin cut (approximately 1.5").  I then layered the Clover leaves and Candy Apple leaves using the Tombow liquid adhesive to adhere.

Finished last layer of Candy Apple leaves, trimmed out center and adhered it.  I then added clear shimmer brush to all the leaves and center.  I love the sparkle it gives.  On some of the pictures you can see it.

I then used my fingers to curl up the leaves/petals of the poinsettia I created to give it more dimension.

Stamped the word Blessings from the stamp of the month in Black ink and fussy cut around it.  Stamped Christmas from the Say it in Style stamp set, dovetailed the right side and sponged Candy Apple ink around the edges.  Stamped the stitched border on the top and bottom of the card base in black ink.

Adhered the overlay using the liquid glue, next comes the patterned paper.  I added thin 3-D foam tape to the back of the word Blessings.  Adhered the poinsettia with liquid adhesive.

Tucked the dovetailed strip with Christmas under the poinsettia.  Curled the dovetailed edges up using my fingers.



This stamp set is very versatile and is only available for this month.  
Supply List for Christmas Blessings Card:  
S1911 - November Stamp of the Month - Family Time
D1283 - Saying it in Style stamp set
Z6507 - Clover Ink Pad
Z697 - Round Sponge

Thanks for stopping by!  Please continue onto Melissa's Blog where you will find some additional artwork highlighting this technique!  Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you thought of my variation and happy hopping!

Holly Jolly - Cross Canada Blog Hop

Welcome to the Cross Canada Blog Hop!
This month we are featuring the Holly Jolly Collection.
Grab your drink, put up your feet and be prepared to be inspired
 by artwork from  different
consultants from across Canada.

Contact your consultant to purchase anything you see along the hop. 
 If you don't have a consultant feel free to shop with me.
Holly Jolly Paper Packet and Sticker Sheet
You should have arrived here from Brenda's blog.  
This is a circular hop, so you can start anywhere and make your way around it.
If you get lost you can find the full list of participants on Michelle's Blog.

I have been busy working on designing a scrapbook workshop using the Holly Jolly Paper Packet, Holly Jolly - Scrapbooking Stamp & Thin Cut set, silver embellishing thread, clear shimmer brush, Candy Apple ink & cardstock, Clover ink, 0.03 Black Journaling Pen, thin 3D foam tape and White Daisy Cardstock.  I used the Brushed Letters stamp set for the title. The inspiration for this layout came for the Make It From Your Heart Volume 3 book, Pattern 5.


So, often we get caught up in all the stuff at Christmas and really the 
most important thing is to BE PRESENT with those around you!

I have pictures of my Grandma and parents being PRESENT with my kids.  
My Grandma passed away this year and I know
 I treasure the times of her being Present with all of us.

I have inked around all of the edges of the papers with either Clover or Candy Apple ink using a sponge.

I have added silver embellishing thread behind the holly.
I have added clear shimmer brush to all of the holly as well.
Using a ruler I added the lines using the 0.03 Black Journaling Pen.

I will be posting more layouts in this workshop in the next week.  Just finishing them up and then making the guides for the workshop.
