Christmas 2022

December 31, 2022

Today’s page shows off some photos taken at our family get together – not Christmas Day but we had lots of fun anyway. Unfortunately the product I am sharing in this project is already retired but hopefully you were lucky enough to get your hands on them while they were available. I attached strips of the Sweetest Christmas 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper across the top of one Basic White 12″ x 12″ page and the bottom of another Basic White 12″ x 12″ page.

I cut a strip of Real Red card using the border from the Scalloped Contour Dies and attached the pieces across the edge of the Designer Series Paper. The photos on the right page are attached to Early Espresso card to give them a little more definition. I cut two candy canes from the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper using the Candy Cane Die and attached them to the lower right hand corner of the second page.

I also stamped two leaves from the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set onto Basic White card using Garden Green ink and cut them out using the co-ordinating Candy Cane Die. The leaves are tucked under the edge of the candy canes. I tied a bow in a length of the Real Red Ribbon from the Real Real & Garden Green 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack and attached it to the candy canes using a Glue Dot. Lastly I added one Flat Jingle Bell Trinket to the candy canes just below the bow. The “celebrate” in the title comes from the long retired Celebrate You Dies and I used the retired Playful Alphabet Dies to cut “Christmas” and “2022” from Real Red card.
