Welcome to my part of Document December ... which was a problem for me as I have almost no Christmassy stash!
What could I do???
In true counterfeiting style, I went with what I had ... and decided that I'd try for make do with some neglected patterned papers that were as un-Christmassy as possible:
How about some teal, pink, olive and orange papers from Pink Martini Designs and some snowflake punches as a starting point?!
I reckon you can make almost anything Christmassy if you sprinkle enough snowflakes about!
So taking 3½ sheets of double sided paper from the same Orange Creamsicle collection, I added some toning cardstock, alpha stickers, more snowflakes and some Christmas bling:
A border punch is always useful, along with some washi and some toning ribbon. My kind crop buddy Julia donated some Christmas die-cuts that matched pretty perfectly too:
Please come back tomorrow and see how I used my kit to "Document December" and whether you agree with me about the snowflakes working their magic on my project!

Mmmm, interesting collection.I can see how it is going to work though.You are correct about the snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteSnowflakes are the perfect addition to a Christmas kit full of non-traditional papers and products - well done for making the most of what you have. looks like a great kit and I'm really interested to see your project tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThat's is a very '60's Mod vibe. LOVE it! or with lots of added gold, it would be an ethnic/India look. You are going to have fun with this. I am looking forward to the next post.
ReplyDeleteI like this bright, somewhat retro, color scheme and am looking forward to seeing your project!
ReplyDeleteLove the fun colors and die cuts!
ReplyDeleteBecause you have chosen such lively colors & graphic patterns, I think this will work wonderfully! Extra bonus points for using unused/unloved stash - brava!
ReplyDeleteThis is gonna be fun to see this take shape :) I have that zigzag punch so excited to see what you do with it :)
ReplyDeleteLove the mix of traditional elements with the fun, bright colours!
