Winter White

Hi Everyone~I hope that you are enjoying the holiday season! I have some awesome news--my book Mixed Media Art: Living Your Passion just became an Amazon Bestseller!

I love all kinds of mixed media art, but especially when it is utilized for home decor. Well, at City Crafter Challenge, the theme is "Winter White." So, I have been wanting to make a "snow globe" from a vintage jar...I added faux snow and a snowflake inside.

And I have something for YOU!

Are you still wrapping presents? Well, I just created this Victorian Angel tag in Photoshop with images from The Graphics Fairy.

And I made this bookmarker too, which is a nice little "extra" to put with a gift.

I also created this Victorian Angel tag with a graphics from The Graphics Fairy...

And I made another bookmarker. You are welcome to "right click" and save them to your computer to print as many as you need! (These look best printed on glossy photo paper.)

Victorian Christmas Ornament Booklets Tutorial

Welcome to my tutorial for Victorian Christmas Ornament Booklets!

First, you run off this sheet from Dezinaworld... You can find this exact sheet HERE!

It only runs $2.00 and you can run off as many copies as you need for all different kinds of projects.

Cut the graphics out and glue them to each other.

This is what they will look like.

Next, punch a hole in the corner of each one.

You will now need small ball chains and bells.

Tie them together with string and then attach the ball chains, bells, and any other embellishments you like.

Next, you will stamp seam binding....

Here it is completed.

Then, take your favorite stamps and do some stamping. Then, attach the seam binding.

Here they are all done....

Nope! Not so fast!!! I need to ink the edges for a vintage look.

Ahhh...much better!!! What would we do without Tim?

Now, they are ready to hang on the tree!!!

Gail has seam binding at Shabby Cottage Studio right HERE!

Need more tutorials? Just scroll down--lots to do!

Happy Creating--

Love,

Cindy
