‘Tis getting to be the season for holiday decorations and gift items. We made this Christmas collage last night in our Team Meeting. I combined a few new products with some of my favorites to create this.
The “favorites” are my 2 1/2″ circle punch, Itty Bitty Accents Star punch Chalk Talk Framelits, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, “Work of Art”, “Be the Star”, and the star framelits. You can substitute your favorites.
The Holiday Catalog products are the Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, the Festival of Trees Bundle, a greeting from “Merry Everything” and the strip of designer series paper from Nordic Noel (which could have been any Garden Green dsp). I guess the point I’m getting at is this…you can pull a great collage together with items you have.
To get started, pick a frame size. This one is 5″x7″. Then choose a color scheme and start creating some elements. It does take some playing to come up with a design that works for you – I would say it is “trial and error” except that there is really no “error” involved. I do end up with a pile of unused pieces in the process, but the process is fun. In designing anything, even a simple card, it is really rare to sit down and create just the elements that you need and be done…unless you are CASE-ing. (CASE = Copy and Share Everything).
Thanks for looking! Have a great day!
