Christmas Greetings with Scrapmatts

Sending christmas greetings to friends and family is part of the festive season 

celebrations for many people.

Handmade cards have a special feel to them and you can make unique cards for each 

person or create designs that are easy to replicate. What ever your design choices are, scrapmatts chip board designs are a wonderful addition to your cards each year.

This time round my blog post features four hand made cards using ten different 

scrapmatts chipboard packs.

I have given each one a postage stamp edge and lots of layering.

All the chipboard has been heat embossed ( my favourite technique ).

This first card features the following chip board packs :

Ornate Frames 19 CB6091

Assorted Words 19 CB6097

The second card uses these scrapmatts packs :

Scrap Words 15 CB1213

Stars 03 CB 1223

Leaf Spray 01 CB1146

Christmas Ornaments 12 CB5104

Card number three incorporates :

Scrap Words 15 CB1213

Holy 03 CB1224

And finally the fourth card has the following chip board packs :

Scrap Words 15 CB1213

Pine Sprig 01 CB1225

Floral Spray 01 CB1097

Ornate Frame 20 CB6092

As the christmas season fast approaches I hope you are busy creating your handmade 

cards. I hope you can find inspiration from my card designs. 

Cheers Andrew

Graphic 45 Gift Giving

Giving is a perfect way to show some body you care. Gifts comes in all shapes and sizes.

As part of our graphic 45 design team assignments we were asked to make a gift

bag and coordinating card.

I took my love of boxes and created to versions of my gift box bag.

The first was made with the come away with me collection and the second I

used time to celebrate.

  

There is also a video tutorial so you learn how to make them.

I hope you will give them a try using your favourite collection

Happy paper crafting

Graphic 45 meets VHS

I have few catch up posts to do so stay tuned.

The first is my Graphic 45 Steam punk spells Video box mini album.

I loved making this project.

Every one out there must have videos lying around that you may have replaced with DVDs 

or digital movies. I thought what a great way to make a mini album.

There are a multitude of ways you could alter these boxes. But I have to say the 

range of graphic 45 collections make this project fun and easy to embellish.

  The front I decided to add a chip board window box style extension 

to create more depth and layering.

The inside was covered with paper and the pages were created using the graphic 45 

large tag staples in black. 

The next few photos are to show other aspects of the album.

I love the images in steampunk spells and the cover was the perfect way to use them.

The pages them selves have plenty of tags and photo mounts to display images 

or special journalling. 

I hope to do a tutorial for these video box albums soon using a different 

collection and binding style

 Thanks for stopping by and I would love to hear your feed back.

Happy paper crafting 

Andrew
