Christmas Lights

Hi, Kim here! This month I am showing you a technique for creating your own embellishments.

I made this Christmas layout using the Christmas Sleigh collection.

I needed the perfect embellishment to fit below the bow on the tag. My idea was to make my own embellishments using the Christmas baubles on one of the papers in the range.

Fussy cut the baubles out of the paper - for some of the baubles you will need two of the same design so that you can layer them.

Arrange the baubles on your layout - overlapping some of them. Attach them down.

For the baubles on the top of the design, layer a second copy of the same design over them using foam tape.

Add glitter glue to those baubles that don't have glitter and add pearls to the hangers.

It is so easy to create the perfect embellishments to finish off your Christmas pages!

I hope you try this technique out on one of your Christmas layouts.
