Do not open until Christmas

 Hello!

 Do you know this problem, you've baked loads of biscuits in the run-up to Christmas, but somehow they've all disappeared? 

That's why this year there's a safe hiding place and a gift box that you can't open until Christmas Eve.
Add a few nice Dusty Attic Christmas chippies, and this gift idea becomes something special.

 Oh, well, of course it was always the Grinch who stole the biscuits! 😏😁

Christmas wishes

 Hello creative friends!

 Transform old items into new ones.
I came across an old Christmas decoration that was in great condition but not my style.

 I choose some Christmas MDF shapes and painted it white and blue and adding some glitter and gold accents. I had a few extra snowflakes from the snowflake wreath, so I used them as Christmas tree toppers. With a few bows, cones and bells, I quickly put together a new decoration to wish visitors a merry Christmas in the hallway.

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.

Let it Snow 
 

 

 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.

 I hope you have a great Advent season!

Merry Grinchmas Planer

 

 Hello!

Christmas is just around the corner, and we all want to make sure we please our loved ones with the right presents, a special Christmas dinner, a perfectly decorated Christmas tree, a spotless flat and so on. In this day and age, the motto is More is more

I'm sure you all know this problems. There are days when I feel like the well-known Grinch.

But does everything have to be perfect?



  

 

 I had a lot of fun putting these mood book (planner) pages together.

 You can use chipboard scraps or just individual parts of the chippies, 

add a little glitter dust and metallic paint, and you've got a special highlight on the page.

Cosy Fireplace

 

 Hello!
 
 Christmas is just around the corner, and it's cold and uncomfortable outside again. 
The garden is in hibernation, which is the perfect time to make it cosy inside again. 
But it's also time to think about Christmas presents, 
so I gave the fireplace a festive look with a small string of LED lights.

Forest Fairy Lantern

 

 Hello creative friends !

 

 I'm a big fan of lanterns in all shapes, colours and sizes. 

They're great for providing light and warmth, especially during the dark season. 

Recently, I've been inspired by the forest as magic theme a lot. I designed a forest fairy lantern with interior decoration. It was really fun for me to use small chipboards in a completely new way. I used the tropical leaves as a shelf (in the real side door) as well as for a small chair.

Have you also found exciting ways to use these inspiring chipboards?
