I added some sparkly Studio Katia gems to match the pretty gold thread!

Christmas Stocking Wall Hanging!

Hello friends! We are all getting so excited for Christmas at our house, and I had a lot of fun taking a little crafty time to create a pretty wall hanging stocking using goodies from the Southern Ridge Trading Company Shop. This would make a great project for the whole family to create - customizing a stocking each and maybe adding a name or initial. You can find the full step by step tutorial on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog!

I used some sparkly ArtQuest Stargazers Watercolor Paints to give the chipboard pieces a shiny coat of colour. A few cute elements from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Mini Christmas Ephemera peek out of the decorated stocking. Of course I added some beautiful sequins from Studio Katia and glittery Stickles!

I added some puffy Liquid Applique to the Noel sentiment, which puffs up when heated with a heat gun, and the pearly white paint added a beautiful sheen to the chipboard snowflake. The red patterned Cricut vinyl was quick and easy to add to the stocking!

Thanks so much for stopping by! You can find the full tutorial and supply list on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog. Hope you are having a fabulous start to December!!

Peace Christmas Decor Tag!

Hello! Well, Christmas is coming in 51 sleeps... yeah my 7 year old made me download the app! I figured I should do some stress-free Christmas crafting before that realization hits that you have 5 teacher gifts and 10 stocking stuffers to make in two days, lol. So, I was at a crop over the weekend and decided to enjoy making a lovely and peaceful tag using some fun supplies from the Southern Ridge Trading Company Shop. I pulled out a Chipboard Tag, 3x3 Star Stencil, Soda Fizz Stencil, Words Of Christmas set and Cedar Trees pack and got crafty! You can visit the SRTC  Blog for a How To Tutorial in case you'd like to see just how I made it.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog where you can find all the how-to details, closeups and supplies for this festive tag. Have a wonderful week friends!

Tim Holtz Ephemera, Distress Stains, Crayons, Oxides and Oxide Sprays worked awesomely together to add to this dollar store wooden house, taking it from boring to spooky in no time!

I dug into my Halloween stash to find whatever worked! This Simple Stories pumpkin sticker was just the right size for one of these girls to hold. I coloured their outfits with Distress Crayons and I love the vintage look. 

Stickles added in different areas give a sparkly effect - I firmly believe every event needs sparkle!

Emerald Creek Craft Supplies Embossing Powders add neat touches to stamped images as well as random areas that just need a touch of blood. I love how my new Studio Katia pumpkin border stamp fits on the sides of the house.

Have a Holly Jelly Narly Christmas!

Hello! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! We went to a Christmas Market here, which may seem a little early, but if you're a crafter you've probably been making Christmas cards for a while now 😉🎅🎄 - and speaking of Christmas cards I'm sharing two over on the Scrap Shotz Blog today! I pulled out my old and new Lawn Fawn Stamps along with some fun Lawn Fawn Paper, Distress Oxide Sprays (love!) and a cool stencil from Southern Ridge Trading Company and had fun creating.

Inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Winter Narwhal set - gotta love the puns...!

I love how the new and old stamp sets coordinate so well together! I really love feeling like I'm not forgetting my older sets.

I switched up the sentiment inside the second card with a greeting from Christmas Fishes... too cute!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have you started your Christmas cards yet? Be sure to head over to the Scrap Shotz store to see what's new and fun - and don't forget to check out all the closeups and lots of details on the Scrap Shotz Blog! Have a wonderful week friends 💜
