Yuletide Carol Santa Photo layout

I just love the traditional Christmas colours in this Santa Photo layout. (Even though my daughter is in pink! What was I thinking?)
You could follow on with this theme for your Christmas photos in your album too. Just choose layouts to suit your photos from our Reflections book and use these same cardstock colours.

Start with a sheet of Black Cardstock. Cut your other cardstock colours as follows:

Ruby 8x10" and a 1/2 x 12" strip

Yuletide Carol Print 3&1/2 x 10&1/2"

New England Ivy 2&1/2 x 12"

Kraft 6 x 8"

Tag- Colonial White

Pinwheel- Yuletide Carol 2&1/2" square

Distress the edges of the coloured pieces. 

Attach the large Ruby piece 1" in from the left border and 1" in from the bottom border.

Attach the Yuletide piece 1&3/4" in from the left border and flush with the bottom border.

Attach the NE Ivy Piece 1&1/2" up from the bottom border.

Attach the 1/2" Ruby strip along the top of the NE Ivy.

Attach the Kraft piece 2" up from the bottom and 2&1/4" in from the left border.

Now attach your 5x7 Santa photo!

Use the square of printed Yuletide To make a pinwheel. Cut all corners half way

in from the point to the centre of the square. Stick a Glue Dot in the center and fold one side of each point into the middle. Stick a clear sparkle that has been coloured with our ShinHan markers in the middle. I have used markers in Carmine,Sap Green and Marigold on the clear sparkles on this page.

Next you need a tag. You can use your Cricut or hand cut one or use an old tag maker like I did. I stamped Merry Sweet Christmas from the Candyland Holiday Stamp Set (D1557) which is only $10 this month with your $75 order. Usually $27! I used Ruby Ink and also daubed the edges of the tag. I used a scrap of twine but you could also use our Bakers Twine Z1921. Attach it with 3D Foam tape Z1151 to make it pop! Add extra coloured sparkles to your liking.

Family is Forever S1409A : CTMH Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop

Welcome to our "Stamp of the Month" Australasian Close To My Heart Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Vandra's Virtual CTMH Craftroom then you are in the right place. If you landed here by accident, please join in by following the link at the end of this post.



                                 

I would like to share with you this Father's Day (or birthday) card. It features our September Stamp of the Month Family is Forever (S1409) available exclusively from Close To My Heart throughout September for $27 or for just $5 when you place a $75 order. 

Start with a 6x12" piece of Chocolate Cardstock for the card base, scored and folded in half.
Stamp the tree in Ponderosa Pine Ink on Colonial White Cardstock 3.75 x 5" then daub the edges with Chocolate Ink using Sponge Daubers. Adhere it to a piece of Autumn Terracotta 4 x 5.25", then adhere this to the left side of the card base. Add a strip of Topiary Striped Washi Tape down the right hand side and a little flag of Autumn Terracotta Cardstock. I tied on some Black Hemp from my stash but you could also use our Baker's Twine.
Next I stamped DAD with the Urban Alphabet Stamp Set. I used Chocolate Ink on a scrap of Olive Cardstock with a mat of Autumn Terracotta. Adhere this sentiment with our 3D Foam Tape and add Durable Triangle Studs as shown. 

During September we also have a promotion called "30 Years of Happy" to celebrate National Stamping Month and Jeanette Lynton's 30 years in the industry!
To get your FREE Stamp Set with 30 stamps on it, just order $30 worth of stamps. Click here to shop.

Family is Forever (S1409A) is only available until September 30th from your CTMH consultant.  I'd love you to leave a comment before heading off to the next stop:
