A Winter Walk to Remember

 

 

Winter walks have a very special kind of magic. The air is cold and fresh, the world feels quieter, and every step leaves a trace in the snow. 

On this winter day, we went for a long walk through the snowy landscape. 

The soft winter colors, the frozen trees, and dog’s paw prints in the snow made this walk feel timeless. It was a simple moment, but it felt peaceful.

This scrapbook page is more than just paper and photos. It’s a reminder of cold noses and the quiet happiness of spending time together. By using some amazing winter chipboards, I was able to create depth and highlight special details on the page.

‘First Snow’ – Creating Winter Magic with Chipboards

 

 Winter always inspires me to create soft, cozy scrapbook pages, and my latest layout, “First Snow,” captures that magical moment when everything turns white for the first time. For this project, I focused on using Dusty Attic chipboards to add dimension and detail to the page.

For this layout I used a mix of  wood-themed patterned papers, snowflake and winter forest trees chipboards, white embossing powder, light blue inks, layered die cuts, and a cut out photo from the first snowy day this year.

 Chipboards are perfect for winter layouts, because they create a subtle 3D effect without overpowering the photo. By painting and embossing them, you can match them to any color palette while keeping a soft, textured look.

 I truly love how the “First Snow” layout turned out—soft, textured, and full of winter charm.

Snow Fun

 

 Hello!

Unfortunately, walking through a freshly snow-covered landscape is becoming increasingly rare for us too. Our dog always loved it. His nose always disappeared in the deep snow and his coat was adorned with little snowballs, lovely memories.

 All chipboard was painted with white acrylic paint only. Various white or transparent textures were added to the wet paint, such as artificial snow, mini glass beads, decoice or white glitter.

Christmas Deco - Vintage sled

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

 There's nothing like the desire for snow at Christmas. Imagine a Christmas evening

 by the crackling fireplace, in the glow of the candles and the snow trickling softly outside. Unfortunately, it's just a wish these days, 

so I've made it the theme on this amazing vintage-style sleigh.

 It's very easy to assemble. There are so many ways you can design it.

 I used the lettering 'Let it snow', painted and decorated with  textured snow

 and white embossing powder for the snow stars and fir branches. 

I also added a few extra decorations like bells, ribbons, cones,

 feathers and pompoms to make a sleigh you can either hang or stand upright.

Lantern 'Dance of Snowflakes'

 

  Hello everyone!

 Magical and dreamy, with snowflakes gently dancing in the sky, 

this lantern inspired me to create a snowy winter forest scene.

 

 

I primed the object with white acrylic paint and then highlighted it with brown acrylic paint using the dry brush technique. In the centre, I hung a transparent acrylic glass ornament, a little ballerina (before it was a christmas tree ornament).

I added a white cuddly skirt with tulle and small punched-out snowflakes to the ballerina. 

At the bottom of the lantern, there is an LED bottle bottom light, and above it, a big snowflake that has been glittered blue in some places. 

When the light is switched on, it looks like the snowflake is dancing over a frozen lake.

Cobweb House in Winter

 

Hello!

 

....  and suddenly it was winter 😀

The time goes by so fast. A classic Halloween house, which has just been lost in the fog,

 experiences the first snow.

 Felix the tomcat seems to be very comfortable. He walks across the roof with ease.

Cobweb House MDF Wood Kit 

 

I fell in love with this unique house immediately. However, I couldn't use it for Halloween.

 I didn't want to wait until next October, so I put it into hibernation.

 I removed a few cobwebs (which I saved for future projects) and added wintry colours to turn this beautiful new kit into a winter home decor object.

It radiates cosiness and warmth while being illuminated by an electric tea light.

Magic frost flowers with Dusty Attic February Moodboard

 

Welcome creative friends!

Our monthly Moodboard is an absolutely wonderful natural inspiration, 

Love the color theme, it reminds me on sunsets by the sea

 it has so much harmony and peacefulness for me.

 

So I was inspired to create a new magical layout in mixed media style, 

  I chose the delicate variation of this Moodboard colour palette

 to match an icy frosty winter morning.

 

 

 

 The chipboards were primed with white gesso and partially decorated 

with a little silver glitter paint. I reassembled the pearl pendant and

 added an ornate pendant.

 

Extra tip:

 

I turned all the paper flowers into ice flowers by first dipping them

 in liquid white acrylic paint and then sprinkled with synthetic snow 

to give them a quick and easy frosty look.

Winter Time with Dusty Attic

 Hello everyone!

 

 

 It's winter here, and the cold, snow and ice are back in full force.

 But a walk through the woods in an enchanted snowy 

winter landscape is always something special. 

 

A popular and important piece of clothing is the bobble hat, it can't be missing. 

 

I use it as inspiration for my new mixed media layout. Found this bobble hat 

in an old magazine, glued them onto sturdy cardboard and 

decorated them with white gesso and ice crystals. 

I used stencils, cutting dies, texture paper pieces and these wonderful

 Dusty Attic winter chipboards,

 love these spruce trees. 

 

 

 

 

I worked only with white gesso and added some synthetic snowflakes to the chippies. 

I also used die-cuts, which together with the chipboards bring more

 vividness and fullness to the layout. 

To bring more depth to the project, snowflowers, snowballs

 and fake fur stripes were used

in a wintery cluster.
