Christmas card with St. Nick for Sizzix and a christmas wish list for November challenge at Papirdesign,

Don't you just love this Santa image!!

I think it's the epitome of Christmas symbols. It's a new Tim Holtz Bigz die and so fun to work with.

Lets start with the background,... I used a bought cardbase thet was 15 cm square. I cut out a 14 cm square piece of subtly patterned cardstock. To add some more interest to my simple background I wanted to emboss this piece. It was actually to large for my embossing folder, but being a bit careful I placed the bit thet had not been embossed in the folder and embossed again. It turned out quite pretty.

After cutting out he pieces for the Santa I used two different shades of chalk inkers to add some depth to them.

I backed my embossed piece with some red cardstock to pull it all together and added a small snowflake as an extra accent. I inked the snowflake carefully embellished it with a half pearl and some liguid pearl medium.

I hope you like this Santa as much as I do. 

It's a Bigz die and to me that is always an added bonus!!

Take care!!

I used these dies:

Sizzix Bigz Die - St. Nick

Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders 2PK - Yuletide Boulevard Set

Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 5PK - Paper Snowflakes

I used a few Christmas collections here and not just the latest one.

 

Lots of different layers and sewing on this page.

 

 

 I love the chipboards saying Merry Christmas in Norwegian.

After the deadline was prolonged for challenge 103 at Color Stories Inspiration CSI, I was able to upload my page there as well. I made it for the challenge but nearly forgot about it!!

Hope you enjoyed my page and that you will have a nice celebration this evening!!

On Jan 2nd I'll be back with a bloghop so hope to see you then!!

Hugs!

 

A Christmasinspired page for Papirdesign and Scrap for Help.

Time for the November challenge at Norwegian brand Papirdesign as well as the challenge blog Scrap for Help. This is the page I made:

I used the latest collection called 'Julehilsen' for this page.

My regular Internet connection is down so I'm afraid that neither the text nor pictures for this post has been subjected touch editing.

 The oval clipboards with the X-mas sentiment are great additions to any seasonal project.

Swirl and flowers are by Pairdesign except the large red rose which is by Prima Marketig.

I cut out the Santa from a sheet of vintage images.

The title is a combination

of white alphabetstickers from Papirdesign and green Thickers.

Thanks for looking. Hopefully I'll have my Internet connection back to normal soon... Take care!!
