Letters to SANTA....Reminisce makes it EASY!

Hello blog readers! Welcome to Friday's post...today it's about letters to santa! Did you notice the specialty papers in the Dear Santa collection? One side is a stylized Dear Santa letter, complete with lines and the other side is an addressable envelope.

 

 

Angela used this paper to document her children's wish lists for 2011...

She plans to scan her son's letter before posting it, to have a permanant (and scrapable!) memory of this years most desired toys!

Hope you enjoyed the holiday focussed week here on the Reminisce blog! Thanks for joining us!

The Reason for the Season...

Cookie Cutter Ornaments...featuring Dear Santa...

Today, DT member Angela Ploegman is sharing her version of the popular Cookie Cutter Ornaments. These aluminum cookie cutters (some were nesting types) were altered with the vintage images from the Dear Santa collection.

These ornaments are very easy to assemble...

1. Coat the edges of the cookie cutter with a super tacky wet glue and lay over the desired image. Let dry.

2. Trim the excess paper with some non stick scissors.

3. Embellish with punched snowflakes, gems and sticker strips from the collection.

4. Punch a hole from the backside of the ornament. String ribbon and tie.

Here are some other examples...the ones made with two nesting dies have a neat kaleidoscope effect that the photographs can't really capture.

Thanks for sharing today Angela! Check back tomorrow for another day of Christmas paper creations courtesy of Reminisce!

Dear Santa and A Christmas Story WEEK on the blog! Welcome blog readers...if you missed the 'teaser' post last week, which was a fabulous video tutorial for a Paper Christmas Tree, check it out HERE.

Today, DT member Tami Sanders is sharing a tutorial for this fabulous Door Hanger using BOTH the Dear Santa and A Christmas Story collections-she needed to make one of these to ensure she could wrap the Christmas presents without interuptions!

1. Starting with a plain wood door hanger, adhere the papers and stickers. Use a file to remove the excess paper and ink the edges.

2. Adhere the Santa to a piece of cardstock and cuto out. Add some glitter to the Santa's hat and cuffs.

3.Cover a wood tag with patterned paper. Stamp the "stay out" phrase and hand write the remaining words on kraft paper in red pen. Distress the edges with ink.

4. Embellish with baker's twine, more glitter and jingle bells and YOU'RE DONE!

Here are some close up pictures of the project details:

Thanks for sharing today Tami! Check back tomorrow for another fabulous Holiday project!

Batter Up! It's baseball in November!

Today's post highlights one of the themes from the Signature Series 3D line...BASEBALL!

DT member, Robin Gibson used the 3D silhouettes, the stars and the BASEBALL sticker from the release and combined them with the Signature Series Baseball paper to create a fabulous scrapbook layout for a friend's son:

Love how all the dimensional stickers add to the page theme here! And how Robin left some 'white space' on the baseball element to allow for her friend to personalize the page with her own journalling!

Thanks for sharing today Robin!
