25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2017 - DAY 8 - Faerie Queene

Welcome to the DAY 8 of 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS tutorial series!

It's the time for the white on white card today! Why am I calling this 3D scene a card? Because it can be folded flat and easily mailed in an envelope - watch the video below to see how easy it is to make!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2017 - DAY 7 - Waiting for Holidays

Welcome back to my 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2017 tutorial series!

The DAY 7 card is created with Magnolia Doockey Box Vol.16 dies. The entire collection is Autumn themed but today I will show you how you can re-purpose some dies to create a super fun Holiday project.

A ladder die from the collection turn into a picket fence, twigs become pine branches and some plants and animals turn into... a character! Watch the VIDEO below to see how it is done! It is easy!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2017 - DAY 6 - Quest Advent Calendar

This unusual Advent Calendar consists of tiny envelopes. Instead of just unpacking a little gift every day you have to open an envelope and read where the gift is hidden today.

Besides, I made an extended version of the calendar to make it last for the whole month of December right until the New Year's day. So the recipient will have to fulfill 31 tasks to find his gifts :)

And this is what it looks like! I hope you will give this fun Advent Calendar a try!

Foggy Night

This Halloween shadow box cards has lots of layers.

Halloween Pillow Boxes

This year I have decided to give my daughter some black cat gel pens (see the product list below). It is such a great alternative to candies. So I thought why not make a matching gift box for them? 

I used black and white pastel paper, a couple of dies by Poppystamps and a white steel chain for jewelry making. Oh yes - and some silver embossing powder too! And here is what I came up with - just scroll down for the video!

25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2017 - DAY 5 - 3D Holiday Tag

Today I have a special project to present - a 3D tag. To create this little home scene I have re-purposed some of the dies that basically are not Holiday dies:

I used an Oven die set to make a fireplace and a wall clock, a Snowflake can be turned into a wreath and a decorative scribble circle makes a great pile of firewood!

It's the wonderful papers by Maja Design that fill it all with Holiday spririt!

Check out the photos and a video tutorial below to see how it was done:
