Ho Ho Ho wooden album - by Kimi

Merry Christmas Everyone...what is that I hear you say? It is too early?   Noooooo, it is never to early to get into the festive spirit -  is it?  Ok,  well enough of all the Christmas cheer then and on to the good stuff and I don't mean Christmas lollies I mean SCRAPPING stuff.  I'm here today to  share with you all my latest project that I have created from Kaisercrafts Gingerbread collection.  Believe it or not,  I'm actually not really into all the Christmas scrapping very much, but these papers make creating those special Christmas projects and gifts a breeze.  This past week I pulled out from my hoard vault (and dusted off all the cobwebs) a Kaisercraft wooden tabbed album.

To make this mini I have used....

Gingerbread ~ Gumdrop Buttons

Gingerbread ~  Cinnamon

Gingerbread ~ Ginger

Gingerbread ~ Vanilla

Gingerbread ~ Raisin Eyes

Gingerbread  ~ Cocoa

Gingerbread - 12x12 Sticker Sheet

Gingerbread - 12x12 Sticker Sheet - Numbers

Gingerbread Collectables

Ribbon

Seam Binding

Twine

 I am sorry guys I have done it again.  I forgot to take photo's of the process... :(  All I have to share is the finished album. As you may have already noticed I decided to change the orientation of the album and scrap it horizontal.  I traced around the wooden pages and fussy cut the papers.  I did leave all the wooden edges raw as the brown tone went with the pages.

 I have added some glossy accents to the Gingerbread men and use pop dots to give them some dimension.

I also added some Crystalline Kindy glitz to the Christmas ornaments and layered them up with pop dots as well.

  

On each of the pages I have used the Collectables pack that was in my kit.  These are fantastic little extras that Kaisercraft now carry for all of their paper collections.  They make embellishing and journalling  so much easier.

 Here I have used some of the little tags, just tucked them into a pocket behind the photo mat for some hidden journalling.

Well everyone that is my project share for this week.  Sorry, it kind of seems short n sweet this time round, but the pictures really do all the talking .  Thanks again for stopping by and sharing some of your day with me. 

Till next time remember to .....

Altered Noodle Box ~ by Kimi

Hi everyone, today I am here to share my Altered Noodle or Take out Box with you all.  I have had this noodle box in my stash for quite some time, just waiting to be altered. I thought the Gingerbread collection from Kaisercraft was perfect for it!!  I love these papers, they have a retro feel to them and certainly put you in the Christmas mood.  I have used selections from the 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 paper pad.

 My first step was to pull the box apart and set aside the wire handle.  Making sure to put it where I would find it again!!  I don't know about you, but sometimes I put things down on my desk and they just vanish!! never to be seen again!!

 I then cut out segments from the sides to reduce the bulk and make the sides sit a little flatter.

I also sanded the shiny surface just to be sure that my glue would stick.

After I got all my surfaces prepped I set about tracing and cutting the box pieces out.  I am sorry guys I got busy with it and totally forgot to take pictures of this process.  

 When I finally remembered to take photos, I was up to the embellishing stage.  I have used some ribbons and seam binding from my stash.

 A sticker or two from the sticker sheet that came in my kit.

and the final touch was a wooden Santa embellishment from my stash.

 Here is a close up on the sides and the ribbons. 

This project came together really quickly and easily. I think it makes a great gift box, but I thought I would use mine as a table decoration and fill it with lots of Christmas lollies!!!

Thanks again for stopping by and sharing some of your Saturday with me.  Please be sure to pop back tomorrow to see what Wendy has been creating for you.  

3D Star - by Kimi

 Hey everyone so as you can see I have my kit for October and it is CHRISTMAS!!  I love these papers.  This is Kaisercrafts Gingerbread Collection and the papers have a soft vintage feel.  There are some really fun prints and I can't wait to create some more with them.   This week I have used my e-cutter again and a digital file to create this 3D star.

 I have used the Chocolate card stock that came in my kit as the star base.

 I then cut the top layer pieces or triangles from pages in the Gingerbread 6 1/2"  x 6 1/2" paper pad

I loved how the chocolate card stock gave the star a rusty look.  I wanted to keep this rustic country theme going so I decorated the star with some Red gingham that I had dyed using some Tim Holtz Tea Dye re-inker.

 I used some more twine twists made from the Docrafts Papermania brown string; strips of natural hessian; a mulberry paper gardenia inked with Tim Holtz Aged Mahogany and two rusty bells from my quilting stash.

This is the reverse of the star.  I just love how dimensional this star is and I love LOVE love it's rustic charm.  Thanks for sharing some of your Saturday with me.... Hope you all have a crafty weekend.
