White Pines Wednesday 4

The last Wednesday of November is here, and so it is time for my final White Pines Wednesday feature!

I don't do a huge amount of Christmas decorating as my son's birthday is a week before Christmas and I tend to have his birthday decorations up, then take them down and decorate after his celebrations. However, I love little things to sit on mantels, shelves and cabinets, and so I set about making some cute little present boxes using the White Pines Paper Packet.

This stack of presents was made using the Artiste cartridge and cutting the standard boxes at &, 8 and 9 inches. I used one side of each paper for the bottom, and the other side for the lid.



I tied the boxes together using some of the Fern Thick Twine, and added a bow from the Glacier Fundamental Assortment on top as a finishing touch.



Now I have a cute stack of presents sitting on my shelf!


These might end up being a gift for a few people too, as they are super cute and easy to make.



I hope you have enjoyed my White Pines Wednesday series- you can catch up on previous posts here.

Today for my White Pines Wednesday, I am sharing a quick card that was inspired by Lisa Plummer.

I used the soft papers from White Pines to create this fun Christmas card. The stamp set is the retired October SOTM, Twinkle, which I stamped in Black ink then went over with Fern, Cranberry and Desert Sand inks to colour the lights. The sentiment is also from the Twinkle stamp set. The gold sequins add a finishing touch and make this card fun!



I also created a simple version with only two coloured lights and no sequins, to make the production line even easier.



Come back on Friday where I will be sharing another White Pines project in the Australasian blog hop! You can also see my previous White Pines projects by clicking here.

Today's White Pines Wednesday features a fun banner I created using my Cricut and the White Pines papers.

The pennant was cut using the neutral tree patterned paper, which stands out against the whiteness of my wall. I then cut the next layer in Fern cardstock, then used another of the White Pines papers for the rounded squares. The letters were cut from Cocoa cardstock.



I attached each pennant using the Fern Thick Twine to keep with the colour scheme.



This banner is now hanging up above my other Christmas decor, which you will get to see next week on my blog.

See you next Wednesday for the next edition of White Pines Wednesday!

White Pines Wednesday 1

Christmas is coming, and the CTMH White Pines range is perfect for documenting those special seasonal moments. I like to plan ahead, and so today is the first of my White Pines Wednesday posts featuring ideas with this beautiful range.

I know I will have lots of photos from Christmas Day, and so I have already prepared a double page layout using the White Pines Paper Packet. This layout is Pattern Eleven from Make It From Your Heart Volume 2.



The Cranberry Fundamental Assortment have adorable wooden pieces that add a fun touch to the left hand side of the page, and I added some of the Red Enamel Gems as well. The Christmas tree was stamped using the White Pines Scrapbooking WOTG stamp set on Fern Cardstock with Fern Ink, and I cut this out from the Artistry cartridge. I added a star to the top of the tree from the Gold Fundamental Assortment.



I love the new White Pines Complements stickers and accents such as these presents and the ornament, which I have jazzed up using the Fern Thick Twine and Cranberry Fundamental Assortment.



The plastic accents in the White Pines Complements are a great flat addition to your pages, and the Dec 25 and floral sticker add interest to my journal box. I have also added a Glacier Fundamental Assortment wooden arrow to point towards one of the photo boxes.



The reason I have added the arrow is because I have made this particular photo into a waterfall series using Flip Flaps Small Assortment. This will be great for a series of photos such as opening presents, seeing my Dad dressed as Santa, or an unexpected moment. This could also be used for hidden photos or journalling if wished.



Here is the full layout with Flip Flaps ready to be completed after Christmas Day!



Be sure to come back next Wednesday, when I will be sharing one of my favourite Home Decor items using the White Pines range.
