In the Holiday Spirit

I am SOOO getting into the holiday spirit this year. Last year was hard and I didn’t quite get into it until Christmas was almost upon me.I also just CANNOT stop creating which is why you’re getting so many designs out of me! LOL Another couple again today. As you can see… I STILL haven’t put away my TK Christmas Series paper. It makes beautiful holiday cards so quickly!

Thomas Kinkade Inchie Christmas

For this design I decided to try cutting up one of the 4×4″ size images into one inch squares and adhering them to inchies. I love how it really gives the look of looking out through a window and adds dimension to the design.

 Quick Tip: Sponge the edges of your inchies to add a vintage look and define the squares a little more.

 Christmas Trio

This tall card design features some of the smaller 1.75″ square images that come with this paper pack. Each of these little vignettes features a slightly different focal point from the original painting. It’s a super easy way to get a festive look.
