LET IT SNOW SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN LAYOUT | with Lisa

Christmas is over but now comes the good part... scrapping all the new photos :) For this project I created a layout using one of the photos I took the day before and using the super cute new cut files from the Let it Snow collection.

This layout actually came together super fast. I let my Silhouette machine cut out all the parts to create Santa and the deer and then I glued everything together. For more detail and dimension, I used daubers to put shadows on the characters and also a white pen for highlights.

For the background, I used my Gelatos in blue, pink and green. I just used a baby wipe and smooshed some color on the background. Like I said, the photo is from Christmas day, my sister, brother and I took it as a gift for my mom. I matted it with some patterned papers.

I placed both characters and my photo on the background and then adhered it, using doubled sided tape, foam tape and super thick foam squares to have different heights.

For the title, I used one of the die cuts from the chit chat pack, saying "Santa Claus is coming to town". Then came the fun part of going through the Doodle Pops, Jewels and stickers and adding everything that made the layout even cuter.

I hope you like the layout and are inspired to create cute things using the Let it Snow collection and matching cut files. Thank you for stopping by!

LET IT SNOW CHRISTMAS LAYOUT | with Miguel

Without a doubt, I find documenting special moments in a layout an incredible process since it unleashes my imagination and creativity. Today I've created this beautiful page with papers and embellishments from the Let it Snow collection,

If you remember, in my last post I showed you some exchange gifts that I made using Let it Snow. At the exchange crop that was a couple of weeks ago, I took some great photos which are in my layout today.

I love using all of the patterned papers of a collection in one project! I cut small strips of each paper and folded them in half to stick along the page. This also gave some dimension to my project. I then decorated with Odds & Ends and created my title using Chit Chat pieces.

To finish, I added shape sprinkles... they are the special touch for any project, the shine they provide is perfect. Thanks for reading, see you soon! and Happy New Year 2022!

Blessings,

LET IT SNOW SANTA CLAUS LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Now at the bustle and hustle of Christmas is over, it is time to get all those memories into your albums. Today, I want to show you a fun a colorful idea featuring Let It Snow collection.

I started by adding a bit of color to the background. I literally dragged an ink pad on the page, then soften the dragged lines with a wet brush. While the background dried, I ripped a few pieces of two of the patterned paper in the collection. I wanted those edges to show on the page.

I fussy cut a few of the tags out, and used them a layers below the photo. I simply started adding a few more embellishments around the photo and the tags. I love Doodle Pops, they are the perfect addition to any page.

I elongated the design by adding a few more embellishments on the top part of the photo. These help balance the page, and create a soft anchor line for the page.

I chose the title from the Chit Chat pack as it reminded me of the location of this photo, the Santa Claus parade. The small Santa icon sticker is the right size for the title. A few more embellishments and a bit of glimmer is all that it needs.

I hope this inspires you to document your Christmas memories with the beautiful Let IT Snow collection. XO

LET IT SNOW CARDS & ENVELOPES MINI ALBUM | with Ashley

Hi All! Today I am sharing a Christmas mini album project using the Let It Snow collection.

The base of all the pages are made using the Let it Snow Cards and Envelopes pack. Some of the cards have been cut in half to create extra pages.

I used my disc punch to make three holes in each of the "pages" and gathered all the cards and envelopes together using white discs.

When adhering all the pages together, I tried to use different styles and sizes back to back to create a more interactive and whimsical album.

I used several other elements from the collection to embellish. One was washi tape. I used all the different styles to line different pages of the album.

I also used items from the Bits and Pieces, Chit Chat, and Jewels backs for embellishing.

Some of the embellishments were popped up using foam tape to give extra dimension.

I hope you liked seeing details from this project. Happy Crafting!

LET IT SNOW GIFT CARD HOLDERS | with Kathy

Hi Everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and got to spend at least some time with friends and family! We had a wonderful time, good food, good friends & family! Of course there was some last minute crazy gift buying on my part... a few gift cards, which I decided to package up with the ADORABLE Let it Snow Collection. Take a peek...

My first gift card holder was for my daughter. Every year, I do a little gift card surprise to her favorite shops. She's living on her own these days in NYC so it's always good to get some fun money to spend! I made a slimline Gift Card wallet. On the front, I used a circles die to cut fun windows and filled them some little scenes using the snowmen stickers from the Icon Sticker Sheet.

When you open the card, I added 4 pockets stacked on top of each other. Each one holds a gift card. And of course I had to add the adorable Santa and reindeer!

For my next two gift card holders, I created double slider cards. I added some cute stamped images from the Arctic Friends Doodle Stamps on my first slider along with some Let it Snow Snowflake Sprinkles. The scallop edge was cut using a die from the All Occasion Borders and Edges Doodle Cuts.

And when you pull the tab on the bottom, the gift card slides out of the top! This was for my great niece who has a birthday right after Christmas! I love how you can use Let it Snow for non-holiday projects!

For my second slider card I used the cute little snowman, tree and present stamps from the Winter Wonderland Doodle Stamps along with more snowflake sprinkles.

Again, pull the tab and the gift card pops out of the top and the sentiment on the bottom!

LET IT SNOW CHRISTMAS LAYOUT | with Erica

Looking for a way to use up your thin paper strips? Today I am going to share a quick and easy way to use them on your layouts using the Let It Snow collection.

The strips on my page are 3/4" thick and I have created a fan tail at the top and bottom of each strip. I laid them out across my layout base which is a piece of white textured cardstock.

To add some dimension to the strips I rolled up the ends of the tops and bottoms of each strip. I used some white acrylic paint and splattered it all over my page using a thin paint brush. I wanted the paint to look like snow all over my layout.

Each strip is a different length and I had fun arranging them on the page. You could also lay them out vertically on your page. For my photo I matted it on a piece of pattern paper from the Let It Snow 6x6 paper pad and layered up some tags behind the photo from the bits & pieces.

I added some fun tabs from the 12x12 this & that sticker sheet and embellished around the photo. I used the large Christmas die cut from the chit chat Let It Snow die cut pack.

In the top left corner of the layout I also created another embellishment cluster using die cuts, stickers and shape sprinkles. To finish the layout I used a few different packs of shape sprinkles and added them all around the page in the white space and I love all the texture it adds to the page. Here is a look at the completed layout.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to create using some paper strips!
