Vintage Christmas Decorations

Vintage Christmas Book Re-purposed into Christmas Decor

I know it's a little early for Christmas. But when you have a retail shop you have to think early. I've turned a vintage children's book into Christmas cards that you can use as a decoration, gift tag, ornament...or even write on the back and send it as a card. I just love the retro look of these illustrations.

My foyer is going to be a Neutral, Blue and Silver Christmas this year.
No time like the present to get started.

I cut each illustrations to it's best fit. 
The I adhered it to a kraft brown card stock.
I rounded the corners with a corner punch.
Next I added some stamps and "aged" the edges with Tim Holtz Distress ink.
And last, but not least, I told them how much I loved them!

Aren't they beautiful!


Here are the other ones I made. They are all available for purchase in my other ESTY shop.





Dig out your old, unused books and get to cracking on your Christmas Decor.

Christmas Workshop

I'm so excited. I'll be hosting a Christmas workshop at Studio 511 in Elizabeth City, NC. We will be making mini works of art and using them as gift tags and/or decorations for this holiday season. We'll also be making gift cards and a MAGIC SANTA KEY!!

Using some of my favorite Tim Holtz Ranger inks, paints and stensills, we will be learning new techniques and skills which will be put to great use this holiday season. If you're in the area, join me at Studio 511 for an awesome time.
