Flying Unicorns Altered Wooded Tree for Christmas

This is a wooden tree I made with the goodies packed into my  Flying Unicorn kit for December. The wooden tree form was not included in the kit.that was something I picked up from clearance last year.  Time to get it decorated and make room for new clearance gems and after-Christmas discounts.  

The papers in the kit this month were from Riddersholm.   While not traditional Christmas colors, I thought they made for a wonderful rustic look on my wood tree. 

The scalloped pieces are Prima's wood embellishments that also came in one of the add-on's.  

Here is a close up.  I accented the tree with some Prima vines and Petaloo flowers, some trims from Frank Garcia's Memory Hardware and some floral berries.  You cannot tell in any of these photos, but I topped the piece off with Prima's snowflake paste by Finnabair.  I love this stuff!  It has a little bit of sheen to it.

Remember that the pre-sale kits start the 20th of every month.  Never miss pout on a kit again and preview it first!  What a treat.  See all the details right here.

Christmas Cards featuring 2Crafty Chipboard

Hello everyone.  I'm here today to showcase  some Christmas Cards using  2Crafty. I made two quick Christmas cards.  The wonderful 2Crafty chipboard creations make it super simple to pop a card together for the holidays.  Not a lot needed to make a card that will dazzle and wow your friends and family. 

I made the first card using the paper from the December kit from Flying Unicorns.  It features Riddersholm papers this month and I found the colors to be a great match for my card. 

My first card used the "Holly Tree" chipboard piece.  I painted this gold, then added fine embossing powder to give some sheen and sparkle. 

Look how pretty the "Holly Tree" chipboard piece is. 

This is my second Christmas card.  It's created using the darling 2 Crafty chipboard - "Blitzen" .   "Blitzen" is a statement piece all it's own.  All I did to this chipboard piece was ink it with a rich brown ink.  Simple.
