Xmas Memory Frame - Guestdesign Craft O' Clock

 

Hello everyone!

 

Today a new christmas gift inspiration, 

I created a memory frame for things to be remembered at christmas time.

 

Base was a simply plastic picture frame. I used the Warm and Peaceful collection,

 several cut out motifs, background paper and also some parts from the Junk Journal.

They were perfect to create two bags,  you can put notes, photos, recipes there.

Mixed Media Star - Xmas Home decor

 

   Hello everyone!

 

 I was inspired to create an amazing christmas gift idea and 

used as base a star mixed media board from Calico Craft Parts.

You can find this pieces in several sizes for big and small handmade gift projects.

 

 I want a project in monochrome style with less color, but a lot of texture.

I worked with white gesso and different textures and structures for the background. In the center is an awesome snow globe framed by a wreath of snowflakes, only two magical shapes from the latest christmas collection. 

Have you seen yet?

MDF shapes were supplemented with cutting dies,

 dried natural materials, a paper rose and ribbon.

Home decor - Magical Winter Times with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome everyone!

 

 It's wintertime here,  first snowflakes have fallen, it's frosty cold, 

the best time for some cozy hours in the warm house. 

 

Christmas is just around the corner and I was inspired to make a new gift,

 it should be dreamy, magical and like a fairy tale.

 

I used this beautiful Big Moon as base,  

for more stability I glued it onto thick cardboard, bottom was made from 

the leftovers of the Big moon. 

All chipboards were first primed with white gesso, 

either artificial snow, glittering texture sand or small white micro beads 

were sprinkled into the still wet paint.

Christmas Memories Album with 13arts

 

Welcome everyone!

 

I decided a long time ago to create a christmas mini album

in vintage style. 

 

Combined different pages from 4 different 13arts paper collections ( 6 x 6'')

 In the latest Memory Lane collection you can find some amazing vintage motifs, 

which are very suitable too christmas, like the rocking horse or the cuddly bears.

I have incorporated many pockets, envelopes and compartments 

where you can place special memory photos, christmas messages

 or even traditional family recipes.

Enchanting Times with 13arts

  Hello everyone!

 

The latest 13arts collection Secret Garden it' s one of my favourites. 

 When you see the enchanting flowers you first think of spring and summer. 

However I'm someone who likes to create with the seasons, 

but when I looked at every single sheet I saw suddenly 

snow flurries and polar lights, really :-)

You just have to let your imagination run wild, right?!

 

 

I  discovered a christmas tree ornament in a store, a beautiful white peacock and thought,

 it would fit perfectly with the new collection and become a new eye catcher on the wall.

I created a mixed media canvas where I used the stamp, 

emphemera and the magical paper from Secret Garden, with white mist color, 

Gesso, some glitter flakes and white cutting dies

I created an enchanted ice world. The color shades 

just fit perfectly to such fantasy stories.

I hope I could awaken your imagination and inspiration.

 

Happy creating!
