Robin's Nest - it's never too late to create Christmas memories

So I know it's February and Christmas is over but it usually takes me until about now to order or print all those fun Christmas photos. It's always fun to create Christmas and Winter pages using winter theme colors and papers, adding the feel of cold by choosing accents with a chilly feel to them. Blue is a color that denotes winter and things that are cold or icy, and the sparkle of glitter makes pages feel like snow and frost. With these things in mind, I pulled blue papers, vellum printed with snowflakes, and a Christmas border punch, along with some great family photos. The girls all have on warm, snugly sweaters on - even if my son doesn't....LOL. 

Supplies:

• Paper: Robin's Nest Snow Stripe glitter, Irredescent snow glitter, winter words cardstock
• Accents: Robin's Nest dew drops, straw, doily, rub-on
• Punch: EK Success
• Other: cardstock

Instructions: 

1. This fun page started with a 12x12" background base which I broke into 2 sectors. The lower base was a great patterned print and the upper a solid blue cardstock. Over the cardstock however I added a clear/white glitter snowflake pattern piece of vellum. 

2. To showcase the different sectors on this page I punched borders to separate and pop on the page. I chose to use one on the top, one through the centre where there was a paper change.. and only a partial piece that fit perfect when the photos were placed on the page. 

3. The photo above shows the punched borders, the fun vellum sparkles paper and the fun snow, frigid, Winter title section. Also aren't the cute diamond dew drop snowflakes perfect? 

4. This section showcases the fabulous fun doily which has a rubon santa and is backed with the sparkle loops of straw. 

5. After placing the photos, custom-fit the last punched border (trim as needed) and add the matted 'Family Christmas', centered below the photo at the right. 

6. Just remember when adding finishing touches to Christmas pages.. that anything with sparkle is a perfect fit. 

Thanks for stopping by. I enjoyed sharing with you. If you like my style and want to see more please visit my blog where I share lots of different pages with family and friends. 

Amazing month at Robin's Nest

Then......... we had an amazing opportunity for a sponsored blog hop with Smoothfoam which highlighted their foam ornaments. I used some more of my November products on some of the projects.   
Here  is the link to the above projects where you can find the tutorial for the wreath  also.

*************************************

That was just the start to my month using Robin's Nest products.

Now the fun begins because this month because we are linking up with "tonic studios" and the their amazing punches.

My punch is called Simplicity Pattern Vine Strip.

I started with a Family xmas page:

 Lots of fun punching borders and a circular accent along with some fussy cut trees and glittered snowflakes.. and added 

Robin's Nest gem stones.

In this section you can see the details in the circular accent and border using the tonic punch... and also the Robin's Nest title using the ... alpha letters.

In this section the gem stone decorated and fussy cut tree has a great gem stone star on top too.
****** Up next is a page called "HO HO HO".

This page boasts lots of borders. Some are just strips of border patterns cut from the Robin's Nest paper, some are sparkle cut Robin's Nest paper punched with tonic punch... and some smaller thinner pieces are a group of strips that sparkle.
Also the right side of this page has many 
fussy cut sparkled trees.
The background was masked and smeared with some gesso to give more texture to the amazing tree branch paper.
The HO HO HO is cricut cut using Robin's Nest scraps and has added stickles to them.

In this close up you see the sparkle paper punched and the sparkle strip accented with white dew drops.
**********

This Happy Holiday page started with a base background piece called

Flame Glitter Swirls and then going through my stash I started cutting strips from the papers that had great lines in the design of the papers...  and some of the lined paper that was a mix of regular and sparkle lines. 

These were staggered and spaced to form the background layers. 

Photos were matted with black to pop on red... 

and some black snowflakes were cricut cut.

In this close up you see the strips and snowflakes with the added white dew drops.
*************

Last but not least is a simple but cool card.

Just lots of scraps.. layered for colour... 
then by drawing a rough tree shape on the back of the 
green paper.. using twine instead of thread.. weave back and forth forming the shape of tree... so easy.
Next and quick SRM sticker title and lots of fun coloured 
dew drops  to decorate the tree.

******************

Sure hope you enjoyed my many projects so far for the month of November using Robin's Nest products and tonic punch too.

Robin's Nest.. more black n white..

For the month of October at the Robin's Nest we created with this amazing paper line 

and lots of the black n white prints that they carry.

With all the black n white .. and on the opposite side of the colours I thought
the split in the middle to start would be fun.
Then cutting lots of the clocks off the print paper and staggered up the
middle is a great base for more round photos.
Everything started larger at the bottom to
smaller at the top... it was perfect.
With all the black n white going on .. I decided that the touch of red would
be a perfect pop of colour.

Supply List:

Robin's Nest:

Paper: Damask Black n White

Some fun CARDS using Robin's Nest Products with Tutorial

Hi.. back again with some fabulous and fun Halloween cards...
using the Halloween Collection from the Robin's Nest.

This first Halloween Tri Shutter Card follows the Instruction sheet below with 

all the separate pieces using all the different fun papers in this collection.

This card above was lined up on the fun print scene to be the full card base. 

All I added was some accents to finish this one.

Also used some SRM stickers.

Below is the printable Tri Shutter Card Instruction sheet to follow for you to make the above cards.

The card below was inspired by my friend Tracy for a challenge.

 It was perfect for this post using the Robin's Nest Halloween products.

It is called a Shadow Box Card.

 Easy Instructions for a shadow box card.
1. Cut 2 pieces the same:  5 1/2" wide x 4 1/4 high
2. Score at 1/2" and 1" on each end.
3. Decorate the inner back section which will show through the peep hole (at estimated spot)
4. Cut a peep hole to coordinate to the inside accented part on the front piece.
5. Glue the ends from edge to 1/2" mark on each end.
6. Decorate the front.

And finally I have this somewhat plain design card but it's full of cool techniques and accents.

I gesso mask the background, ripped some of the ghost paper and inked the edges, cricut cut the

web out of scraps from the other projects, grabbed and fussy 

cut yet one more "BOO" from the word paper and finished 

with the little friends snow angel with out wings to look like a ghost and some black dew drops.

I really had a great time sharing this month at the Robin's Nest their

Halloween can be Fun & Spooky with Robin's Nest Products

Hi ... here today with Robin's Nest halloween Products.
 This amazing Halloween paper line was fabulous to create with. 

So many options to mix and match, fussy cut, piece and make borders, mats

and scenes that were really so cool. Fabulolus coordinating products make it so fun

 and easy to showcase your Halloween photos.

Up close this double used the main background on both sides.

Fun web layers of fussy cut webs were perfect.

Glitter pumpkins and bats along with some bold bright fun borders along

with the fun dew drops finished off the first double.

When your cutting into papers .. it is so easy to grab some of your scraps from your stash 

and create fun and colourful cards..

This 2nd double page was based using the fabulous Haunted House paper.

I chose to rip in in about half to share the scene on both sides of the double.

Splitting the other piece of striped paper was a great combo.

I didn't want to loose the fabulous scene on the side so stuck 

to adding photos in the lower half and just add the title "BOO" and 

some glitter bats. More ripped ghost paper was a great accent.

The fun fence of ghosty goblins was a great base for more web paper

and even a fussy cut and popped up web.

More Halloween Boo paper cut for yet another title and some dew drops  with more

sparkle bats trimmed this half of the page.

Sure had some fun with these combinations and hope I inspired you to want

to create your pages for Halloween too.

This page (only) I showcased using the Let's Get Sketchy last Monday sketch.
