Christmas Advent with Bo Bunny Dear Santa

Christmas is coming......

I wanted to make an advent calendar for this year and its no good waiting til December to start so I thought I would be all prepared. I came up with the idea of altering the actual box that these chocolates came in, of course I turned to Bo Bunny for some festive inspiration and chose to use the Dear Santa line for my project.

 

I cut pieces from lots of different sheets to use to cover the chocolates, then I cut the small numbered sheet up that came in the Dear santa 6 x 6 paper pad. I layered these onto the small rectangles then attached then in place.

 

 

I fussy cut some images for the center of the calendar and finished it off with a Happy Christmas Gold Foil Transfer. I love how the colours in this collection make everything looks so super festive.
Can't wait to share this with hubby on the 1st.

My November shares for 2Crafty Chipboard DT

 

 

"Beach Escape"

  Hey there 2 Crafty fans I am excited to be here to share with you two layouts that I  created using the fabulous 2Crafty Chipboards this month. I have a short video tutorial   to go with this first layout but please, bear with me as its my first attempt at a video.  

I used chipboard pieces from 12 different chippie sets on my page, can you spot them all?

I used gold glittery embossing powder on the sun, taken from the Summertime Words Set

 and I used the same treatment on the Polaroid Frame that surrounds my photograph.

The Tiny Film Strips are perfect for tucking in and can help to add balance to

your pages, I left them raw and I think they look great this way.

I used two different embossing powders on the Beach title chippie, I explain this in

 a little more detail on my video. The words in the Mini Travel Word Sets are small and

 delicate and I glued the escape word to the title piece to elongate my title.

  "The Very Best"   For my next page I used the Word Circles set 1 and a Dancing Sun  to create a strip across the middle of the page.  

  I kept the circles quite muted but they are still a great focal point for the layout, in  contrast I gave the Dancing Sun a coat of gesso and then used embossing ink with a  white glitter embossing powder to give some sparkle.  

  The Assorted Arrows are an essential set to have,  as I find myself using them on lots  of pages, they just give that little extra something something to your work. I placed a  piece of patterned paper behind the Fast Forward Arrow to create a little embellishment.  Some string wound through the circles added the finishing touch.   2Crafty Products Used Fast Forward Arrows Assorted Arrows Dancing Sun Handrawn Stars
