Christmas Ornament Tags with Technique VIDEO TUTORIAL - Scraps of Elegance December Kit

Several years ago I started creating handcrafted ornaments to give to our children for Christmas. It has become a family tradition. When I saw these lovely chipboard ornaments by Blue Fern Studios in the Scraps of Elegance Store, I couldn't resist. The ornaments are attached to the ribbon bow with wire, so they can be removed to hang on the tree, or the tag could be used as is for a home decor piece.

I've done something a little different for my video this time. I show how I've used the kit and add on products to embellish the ornaments for more of a technique video. I hope you enjoy it.

"Big Catch" Mixed Media Layout with VIDEO TUTORIAL - Scraps of Elegance November Kit

December is here and such a special time of the year as we prepare for the holidays with friends and family to celebrate the birth of our Savior. I hope you are enjoying the season.

Our son is an avid angler, and particularly enjoys fishing for bass. He recently caught a career record 5.5 pound largemouth bass. The November Scraps of Elegance kit contains gorgeous papers and elements to create a rustic layout to capture this happy moment.

I have created a process video tutorial to share the techniques I used. Enjoy!

Rustic Mixed Meda Cards with VIDEO TUTORIAL - Scraps of Elegance November Kit

Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a rustic mixed media card set with VIDEO TUTORIAL from the November "Tracey's Country Kitchen" Scraps of Elegance kit named for your's truly!! I think it's wonderful how Melinda is creating a kit with each of her designers in mind. 

I wanted to capture the rustic feel of this kit in my card set. The Creativity Add On features Ice Resin products, and I show how to use the Relique Powders to create grungy finishes on the chipboard and corrugated board. I've also added some bling to the borders with the Shattered Mica. Check out my video below for all the details and techniques.

Enjoy!
