Winterland vintagey ornaments

Hi all, i am stopping by to share some fun handmade ornaments i made using a large diecut (adorable snowman) and fussy cutting out images(sled and ice skates) from the winterland paper. I first, punched and cut them out of the paper and punched holes near the tops where i want my ribbon to tie onto. Next, i placed the images on wax paper to keep from sticking while drying cause here is the fun part. Squeeze an even thick layer of dimensional glue over the entire image. (Tip-do not shake the dimensional glue as not to get bubbles and keep tip down in glue while covering images to keep a smooth cover). then, i sprinkled iridescent fine glitter to the wet glue. I then repeated on the other images and let dry overnight then covered the other side with just the glue to make for a nice thick dimensional ornament. Lastly, i added a pretty ribbon to each and hung on my tree. I just love the vintagey look they have to them! These would make great gifts too! Make sure to get your hands on some winterland so you can give this a try. Thanks for stopping by and happy creating!

Keep calm and skate page for Moxxie

Hi all, I am stopping by today to share a fun page i made using the winterland collection. I know i probably said it before but i am in love with the colors of these papers!!! For my page i used a picture of my daughter and i taking a selfie on the ice rink last year.We had so much fun! So I just had to use the ice princess paper as my base for this page then i found some crinkle paper in my stash and added under my picture then i layered some winterland cutouts and diecuts and pop dotting them in around the page to add dimension. Lastly, i enhanced some of my favorite parts of the page by using lavender sequins, glitter marker and glitter glue. Make sure to get your hands on this collection and scrap those winter pics! Thanks for stopping by and happy creating! Jen T. :)
