Sleigh Bells

Hello and welcome, everyone! 

Lisa from The Relativity of Paper bringing you another Christmas project. I've paired two amazing sets to create my project for today and I'm so excited to share it with you all. 

I paired the sleigh from CG Nutcracker Dream Set with the candles and greenery from the Centerpiece Tray with Candles and Greenery Set. 

 I used 12 x 12 Kraft cardstock, lined it with Alexandra Renke Washi Tape for the sleigh accent pieces while the Silhouette cut the sleigh. I repeated the process for the candles. I let the greenery cut while I started assembling the sleigh. Once the greenery was cut and assembled, I used floral wire to create two bunches one larger than the other to arrange around the candles. 

 I used the Silhouette to sketch the sheet music and title, then rolled and hot glued into place. 

 The red berries are from Christmas picks I had in my craft room. 

I'm sure a few are wondering why the silver and gold sleigh bell. It's a little nod to my dad. Every year when Burl Ives comes on the radio singing Silver and Gold my dad belts out the lyrics, "Silver and gold, silver and gold".  Memories that I cherish. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

As always, thanks for joining us!

Think inside the box

Recently I had a conversation with another team member saying I needed to think outside the box. Well, I got to thinking, what about the inside of the box?!

Hello all, I-team member Sonja here with a winter shadowbox I made using the JGW Build a Box file for my base box.

This set has three options of boxes. I decided I wanted to be able to poke some holes in the back to make a winter scene inside my box so I used the box with the open face. 

To start with, I needed to get some detailing done on my extra pieces. For this, I grabbed my Craftwell eBrush and got to work.

 It can also be used on glitter paper.

Then I just pulled everything together.

 There are 10 little lights in the background

 I added the little sleigh from the CG Nutcracker Dream set.

I left the top flap unsecured so that if the sleigh moved around, it could be adjusted.

Sleigh Full of Goodies with Lisa

Happy Friday, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper taking over the blog today with a modern take on the Sleigh from the SVGA Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes Collection.

The sleigh is a great way to gift money or gift card with a box beneath the sleigh. Adding the recipient's favorite holiday candy is an added bonus. I used My Mind's Eye Joyful Collection and Mixed Bag (ephemera) to decorate it. The sleigh is so easy to assemble, perfect make a head hostess gifts, the unexpected +1 guest and teachers gifts.

I used the easel card from the JGW Halloween Soiree Collection to create a matching card.

Here's to a wonderful Holiday Season! 

As always, thanks for joining us today!

Christmas Bear ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday!  I hope everyone is enjoying getting ready for the Holidays!  I know I am.  Today I am sharing my version of a Polar Christmas Bear using the JGW 3D Teddy Bear kit.  I love how he turned out.  I used red glitter ribbon and Christmas buttons.

I also added a cute little hat and scarf that I picked up after Christmas last year.  

I think they finish him off perfectly!

Isn't he a cutie pie?

Don't forget to stop by the SVG Attic store, we have several new Christmas kits out.  I put out a new one called CG Nutcracker Dream.  I think this is one of my favorites!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Do what inspires you,

Cyndy G.

Winter Cottage

Hello all I-team Sonja here. Today I bring you the third and final addition to my cottage series!

For the winter cottage, I added snow to the roof and windows. I included the presents and the street lamp that comes with this file, as well as the bows for the windows.

Since it is a winter theme, I had to put a sleigh and a reindeer on the roof!

The reindeer is from SnapDragon Snippets in Silhouettes Design Store. The sleigh is from SVG Attic's Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes file.

The snow on the roof, chimney's, and window icicles are cut from sparkle paper. Usually I would do this in plain white paper and add glitter, but I had some extra white glitter paper around!

The back of the cottage. I wanted to add very subtle color into this, trying to keep away from the traditional red and greens of Christmas.

Left side. The pops of sea green against the gray, silver, and white was the right choice.

Now turn the lights out! 

For the street light, I took inspiration from the light that sits in our front yard. I wanted it to light up to make it realistic. It took a little modification, but I got it there in the end!

 One of my favorite things about winter is when it is snowing out at night, yet it is so bright and beautiful. 

I loved how the silver spots in the paper lit up when photographed, adding an extra touch of sparkle. 

 The end result on this cottage was by far my most favorite of the three!

That concludes the three part series of my take on the RW English Cottage Kit!
