Layout Tuesday: Christmas Day Fun

The holidays may be over, but that doesn't stop Creations Galore from carrying Christmas themed items! Plus, we have so many photos to scrap now! That's why today's Layout Tuesday is dedicated to this fun layout using Crate Paper's Peppermint Collection and highlights our favorite kids on Christmas Day! 

We love the fun mix of colors in this collection which coordinated perfectly with the bright colors in the photos. The title came from the 12x12 Chipboard Stickers. We added a few more chipboard pieces to the layout to coordinate with the stickers and brads. But our favorite part of this collection and layout are the Stand Outs. They're self adhesive, quickly adding dimension and interest to any project!

Have you documented you holiday yet? Bring your photos into Creations Galore and let us help you find the perfect paper and embellishments for your project! 

Quick & Easy DIY Christmas Cards

If you caught Lori on Fox 11 News Sunday morning, you saw her create super simple Christmas cards (watch the segments here). We've gotten lots of questions about the cards, so we're sharing them here on the blog too! These cards are perfect for any skill level and can be created in an afternoon! 

Card One: Happy Winter with Patterned Paper

This card is as quick and easy as they get! A piece of patterned paper was added to the card front. To finish it up, Lori stamped a sentiment onto cream cardstock and adhered it to the card with 3D foam squares.

Card Two: Merry Christmas with a Stamped Background

At Creations Galore, we love background stamps. For this card, Lori stamped a music themed background stamp onto cream cardstock. She added a second layer of gold and placed them onto the card front. Just like the previous card, a sentiment was stamped onto cardstock and attached to the card with permanent adhesive. Two extra steps in this card, but still quick and easy!

Card Three: Joyeux Noel with an Embossing Folder & Ink

This last card is the hardest of the three, but it's still a beginner card that can be created in no time at all! Lori placed the blue cardstock into an embossing folder and ran it through the Evolution tool to create the raised snowflake images. To highlight the images, she ran a blue ink lightly over embossed design. This was added with a white layer to the front of the card. And again, just like the two previous cards, a stamped sentiment on white cardstock was adhered to the front too!

All the supplies and tools to create these three cards can be found at Creations Galore. If you're new to paper crafting, allow us to help you design your own Christmas cards. We can walk you through the process, help you pick out stamps and paper, and get you on your way to personalized handmade greetings. You can even use our tools, such as stamps, embossing folders, and paper cutters, keeping this project affordable! It's only $2.50 per hour or $5 for the full day! 

Don't forget, every day until Christmas, pick your own sale to take 10% to 40% off regular priced items.
