Hello there! I hope you have been inspired this week seeing all the beautiful creations with Merry Little Christmas! When I sat down to create with this collection, I immediately knew I wanted to create a large Christmas tree. The borders paper was perfect for this!
First, I cut apart all of the borders, and then decided the order I wanted the patterns in my tree. I spaced out similar colors, as well as the borders with words. As I worked from the bottom of the page up, I trimmed some off the border so it became smaller as my tree made its way to the top.
A tree isn't complete without a topper! I used a pretty floral die cut from the Ephemera Icon pack, which I layered with some tangled thread and a Puffy Sticker. Of course, no tree is complete without ornaments, and the beautiful ones from the Puffy Stickers were perfect!
For my title I used the word "Santa" from the Ciao Chip, which I layered by popping some letters with foam tape. This helped the entire word fit in the space I had. A phrase die cut from the Ephemera Words pack was a great subtitle, right over the word.
To create flow, I added another floral cluster at two corners of my photo, including the same tangled thread and puffy sticker as on the top of my tree. Santa is the star of the show, and I knew he had to be included somewhere! This adorable puffy sticker, tucked perfectly with a tab on the top of the photo.
Finally, a tree isn't complete without a trunk! I used a word cut out from the borders paper. I hope you are inspired to document your Christmas memories with Merry Little Christmas!
