Ruby Rock-It: From Our Home to Yours

 Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing some more  festive creativity with the Christmas Dreams Collection.
I just love creating these wreaths!  For this one, I have gone for something a little shabby chic and winter wonderland inspired.   

 Ruby Rock It! Products:

Christmas Dreams 12 x 12 Paper Pad, Christmas Dreams 6 x 6 Paper Pad, Bella Flowers

  Other:

Styrene Ring (22cm), Tulle, Wide Ribbon (Wire Edged), Metal Dies - Floral Die, Stars & House, Leaves, White Berry Stamens

Create your own sweet wreath with colours to coordinate with your festive decorations.

The styrene rings can be picked up from craft shops for a couple of dollars. 

Start by tying strips of tulle around the ring.  Then randomly adhere a few leaves.  

If you have a leaf die - try die cutting a few leaves from the white glittered paper from the Christmas Dream pads, these would look lovely!  

Create berry vines - Stagger the heights of the berry heads and then twist the metal lengths together. (I picked these up from Kmart). Place around the ring and affix in place when happy with arrangement.

Attach a few Bella pale blue flowers around the ring.

Die Cut 3 x floral flourishes from coordinating paper from the 6 x 6 Christmas Dreams Paper Pad.  Position and attach in place.  

Die Cut a few different sized stars from the white glitter paper at the back of the paper pads.  Arrange and affix in place. 

Create a small house (I used a die) from coordinating papers from the 6 x 6 Christmas Dreams pad.

Attach this along the bottom inside edge of the ring.

Fussy cut a few bird elements from papers and layer amongst the foliage.

Finish off by adding a bow created from wire edged ribbon and attach in place.  

From our house to yours,

Happy Creating!

Ruby Rock-It: Believe In The Magic of Christmas

Hello Everyone!

I have been getting into the Christmas spirit with the gorgeous Christmas Dreams Collection.  I have coordinated some festive magic with some brand new colours from the Francheville card making range to create an easel card. 

 The new card range consists of Teal, Metallic Bronze, Metallic Pearl, Pink, Blue, Boysonberry and Ivory.

Ruby RockIt! Products:

Christmas Dreams 12x12 Paper Pad & 6x6 Paper Pad

Fundamentals Bitty Bows FTE17, Ruby Rock It Happy Days Droplets HYE18, Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon

Other:

Scalloped and Plain Circle Cutting Dies, Roller Die Cutting Machine 

To create the easel card:

Position a scalloped circle die over the folder edge of the Francheville card. I have worked with one of the new colours - pink.

 Run the card through the die cutting machine.  Also die cut a single scalloped circle from another card (I used Ivory) or plain cardstock.

Fold over one have of the scalloped circles towards the fold  

Tip: Try and match the scalloped edges

Now attach the individual scalloped circle to the folded part 

This is what the reverse of my card looks like:

Decorate the card surfaces with coordinating patterned papers from the Christmas Dreams 6 x 6 Paper Pad. Ink the  paper edges with Mermaid Ink Distress Ink. 

I die cut scalloped circles and smaller plain edged circles.  I layered these, adding foam dots for a little dimension. 

I also fussy cut a larger 'fun' element from the 12 x 12 Paper Pad.  I added this to the front of card

Thanks so much for dropping by,

Happy Creating!
