Howdy Everybody!
It’s the MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! December Day by day season is upon us and I couldn’t be extra jolly to share a few of my concepts for the 2024 assortment!
I kicked issues off with my Title Web page and Purpose Why for this 12 months. The colorful plastic bushes from the Principal Package instantly caught my eye, and I knew they needed to be my title web page! The concepts started flowing for vibrant Christmas bushes and I liked the place all of it landed.
Final 12 months, I used plenty of sequins, and in the course of the 12 months, I’ve been in my confetti period, so I made a decision to attempt rhinestones for my title web page. I picked up a bunch from my native craft retailer and commenced clustering them from the bottom of the plastic bushes and staggering them upwards.
Earlier this week, I did a Dwell Crafting session within the December Day by day group. As we speak, I’m sharing two course of movies; the primary is my preparation for the stay which reveals how I began the rhinestone bushes, creating the vellum utilizing the silkscreens, and creating the vellum hearts and confetti for my title and purpose why.
The second video is the rest of the method – placing the web page collectively throughout this week’s Merry, Shiny and Brilliant Dwell Crafting session within the December Day by day Fb Group. Right here’s the video:-
I really like the transparency pack and initially thought I’d used the “Christmas Time is Right here” for my title web page, however then the “Twenty Twenty 4” coronary heart framed the bushes so properly, I had to make use of it! This was the jumping-off level to create two dangling coronary heart ornaments – the entrance with the “Twenty Twenty 4” title and the again with my Purpose Why.
I used the digital from the transparency pack to get the form of the center for my journaling for my Purpose Why. I printed this on tracing paper utilizing my laser printer and foiled it with my Minc machine. Then, I traced the center from the transparency pack onto it and minimize it out. I left a couple of quarter inch throughout to sew them collectively. I created some white patterned vellum utilizing the Stars from the silkscreen pack and utilizing circle/dotted stencils from my stash. I then used my confetti punch to fill the hearts with vellum confetti of colours that matched the bushes, and I put all of them collectively.
Desk of Contents
I then determined to work on my Desk of Contents. I needed to characteristic the beautiful plastic phrases. The time period “Holly Jolly Contents” felt like an correct illustration of the contents in my December Day by day album! Right here’s the video of the way it all got here collectively:-
I do really feel just like the plastic phrases want white house in order that they stand out, so I considered methods to chop and create a window for the piece. This might have simply been a rectangle, or a banner or any form actually, however ultimately I made a decision to make use of the form of the Holly Jolly and add a rectangle under for the phrase “contents”. I considered tracing the form and reducing it out with a scissors, however then I used my Cricut as an alternative – both method would work simply high-quality.
Following this, I labored on making a web page to mount my banners on utilizing a transparency from the 10×8 pack. I really like these high-quality phrase transparencies and parts on this 12 months’s assortment, and I used some baker’s twine and eyelets to create this web page. I might then glue the banners on to the twine, and add in bits and items from every web page in the course of the month of December to convey all of it collectively
I’ve actually loved placing the primary few pages of my 2024 December Day by day album collectively! OH WHAT FUN! Thanks a lot for being right here. As all the time, be happy to remark under, I’d love to listen to from you! If you happen to’d prefer to see extra of my work you may examine me out on Instagram or YouTube.
