"Stuart Family Christmas" Scrapbooking Project

Supplies:
  
  • From Stars & Snowflakes Kit (item 371064): 
  • Tan Christmas words paper [Busy Scrapper's Solution Christmas Papers #4123]
  • Green vellum [Pastel Vellum Papers #3254]
  • Silver mini-brads
  • Snowflakes & Stars Template #7339]

Additional Supplies:

  • White cardstock
  • Black pen (computer printer optional)
  • Black ink pad
  • Glue dots

Directions:

 
1.     Use the tan Christmas words paper with the words at the lower-right corner of the page. Mat the large photo on white cardstock leaving a very thin border. Ink the edges, and then mat on green vellum, leaving a 1/4" border. Glue near the top of the page, leaving extra space at the right side. Mat small photos individually on white cardstock leaving a very thin border. Ink the edges and then mat on green vellum, leaving a 1/8" border. Place horizontal photos evenly spaced beneath the large photo, then the vertical photo to the right of them, leaving a space beneath it for the folded star.
 
2.     Journal on the tag and ink the edges. Glue to the right of the large photo. Write names beneath large photo mat and add a mini-brad to each end.
 
3.     Use the template to trace and cut out two stalactite designs and one beacon design from green vellum. For the stalactites, fold the outer flaps inward along the fold line and then unfold. Now fold each flap inward along the centerfold lines and unfold. Working clockwise, start folding the flaps inward. As they begin overlapping, gently lift up the first flap to tuck each of the last flaps in place. Secure the flaps with a silver mini-brad. Attach one stalactite to the top of the tag, and the other beneath the small vertical photo.
 
4.     For the beacon design, cut on the cutting lines, making sure to begin the cut line from the outside edge of the design. Now fold each flap inward along the fold lines and continue as for the stalactite design in step #3. Secure with a mini-brad and attach over the top edge of the large photo with a glue dot.
