Watch it Wednesday with Shari and more Shabby Chic
Well hopefully I’ll have a video for you later today. Seems my computer is not liking what I’m instructing it to do. In the meantime, I have plenty for show and tell to share.
I’m continuing the Shabby Chic creations with Tinkering Ink products. I made this fun Holiday wall hanging from their Garland chipboard kit. The possibilities are absolutely endless!
Today’s sample is all about texture.
Each oval section has been clear embossed using a Holiday Design Block. I stamped the Holly Flourish on the J and Y and Stunning Snowflakes on the O. The images are a subtle effect to invite a touch or second look. Tim Holtz Distress Crackle paints are perfect for the Shabby Chic feel on the large chipboard letters. Cuttlebug embossing folders finish up the look with the addition of a little lace, scallop border, buttons soft fabric ribbon and a touch of sewing.

I am going to make all of my Christmas cards for the first time this year and I love decorating every room in my house, so I am sure I could find several ways to use this beautiful collection.

This is just beautiful! Last year I made 2 snow globes. They were fun and very attractive! One had a nativity scene in it and the other had a picture of my niece (gift for her parents.) So much fun!

I like coming up with new ways to package our homemade fudge we make every year. I’ve already found the ribbon this year…just need to finalize the container.

Baking goodies for friends, family, co-workers, etc is always enjoyable with my kids. Favorite treats are sugar cookies decorated by the kids, fudge, mint brownies, and lots of breads. I also love making tags for all of the presents under the tree. And all the cards and scrapbook pages! Such a magical time of year!

I love your Joy garland! So pretty! I enjoy making cards for the holidays. It’s more personal then store bought and adds to their gift! Thanks for the giveaway!

I love making cards for my family and friends because it makes me feel as if I have created a piece of art for them. At this stage in my life, when all my family and friends are no longer young children and because of the difficult economic times, I give cash as gifts and it is always a welcome gift with the young people who are in college or just starting out in their lives. I am a retired school teacher and creating art is a pleasure for my soul.

I’ve always enjoyed making at least one crafty thing for family members at Christmas time. This year I was honored enough to go through my husbands Grandparents home after they passed. I walked away with her prime cloth, card making items and tools! This year is going to be quite special because now I have her to help with my creativity! I was able to take some photos with me that I didn’t have of his family and look forward to lay them out on pages! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
