Christmas in July

 Hello there,

Today I'm up on the the mad scrapper blog with this cute wall hanger for Christmas in July!


All links to products will be at the bottom of this post as I've had a bit of trouble when adding them here in the last post.

I took Bazzill craft card and cut out 3 same size fancy squares from a die in my stash. I then chose papers from the Maja Design Traditional Christmas and you will see I have used both sides.


The image above shows the top square and on this I have used the other side of singing carols along with a doily cut from traditional white and a tag I've cut from Santa's Elves. I added some Christmas coloured sequins and a sentiment cut from the strip at the bottom of one of the papers.



The image above shows the middle piece. On this I have used Traditional white and a cute image with a little boarder and underneath a green doily. I cut from the papers a couple of snow flakes and tucked them under the image too. Then I used 2 paper flowers that were cream to start and coloured them in using alcohol markers to closely match the colours in the images, I wanted to pull in the image so I added some white dots. Another snowflake was added to its centre and a green brad finished it off. I also added red glue dots to this layer.


This is the third piece and on this one I have used Singing Carols. I have also added a couple of trees in the Traditional white paper which have been added using pop dots and to those I added the same red glue. I fussy cut a gnome and added him above my chipboard sentiment which I inked up first and matted it on to a snippet of green and then red mirri. A few more glue dots were added in white and red to complete. 

I found some eyelets in my stash and added those tying twine through them and finishing with a bow at the top. Now that is ready for December.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you get inspired to make something like this using some of Janine's many Christmas papers (don't forget there will be many new ones coming in very soon) if you didn't want to wait till Christmas try making for Fall/Halloween or even a baby shower.

Take care and don't forget links below.

Sue.
