Betty and Kristi

Kristi and I have had a great deal of fun playing around with a packet of Imaginisce's charming Cottage Christmas collection paper, and coordinated Rub-Ons, Ribbons, Stamps, and Accessories! In addition they also provided the cool I-Rock hot fix tool and gems. We hope you will enjoy the whole array of projects that we came up with, showcasing the Cottage Christmas Collection!

Christmas ornaments you can make with your kids!

Here Kristi covered paper mache' ornaments with panels of coordinating cardstock.

Super easy, and fun to do! You're going to get a real kick from this next project ...

Repurposing at it’s finest, using a MAN’S BELT

Here, we have a long man's belt, repurposed into a great Christmas Card display holder! We painted clothes pins with matching paint, and created little medallions from the Rubber Stamps to decorate each pin, then attached each to the belt with Beacon's 3-in-1 Glue! Don't you love the cards Kristi made?

Nothing says welcome at the front door like a wreath!

 

Okay, what do you get when you add one styrofoam wreath, 500 coffee filters, 25 candies, and one sheet of Imaginisce Cottage Christmas Cardstock??? This awesome Christmas Countdown Wreath, sure to delight kids of all ages!!!

 

Oh, yes! It was so much fun to put together, and you will be able to get the instructions on Betty's blog!

A sweet desk calendar

smartly made from an acrylic photo frame, with a piece of Imaginisce paper under the surface, and a rub-on, I-Rock gems and a matching bow complimenting the calendar on top.

Bird house anyone??

Here is our super fun birdhouse village! Each of these unique little houses is decorated in a different paper pattern, and accented with border prints, stamps, gems, Stickles, punched trims, and all sorts of charm!

Don't you want to run right out and get the parts to create projects like these?

Tower of Light is three boxes

An electric candle at the top, and each box is decorated with borders of the Gingerbread Village, Merry and Bright, or Ornaments papers. The paper strips are glued to make a perfect ribbon and bow, following Beth's tutorial from our Christmas Around the Clock event!

Start your Christmas planner early to stay organized with

this beautiful Dry Erase board

A dry erase board is easily readied for the season with a border strip, and darling push pins created from the matching Rubber Stamps. The bonus here is being able to easily change it out after the holidays, by replacing the border and push pins, keeping your white board in service.

For a very special gift presentation, a wooden purse kit is painted to match the red/white stripe paper, and accented with red and white snowflakes. Here is the perfect place for the matching Ribbons and Rub-Ons.

Say it in style this Christmas with an amazing presentation!

And last, but certainly not least .... Sometimes a tiny treasure is a big deal, so we've used a very small tin, and covered it with a scrap of striped paper, and added a matching bow. The top is decorated with a rub-on, and four I-Rock pearls in the corners.
