Santa - Simple Vintage Dear Santa Collection by Simple Stories

 



Hey there! I've got some fantastic Christmas inspiration for you today using the stunning Dear Santa collection by Simple Stories. Get ready to be inspired and feel the holiday spirit!

For this project, I used white and red cardstock paper. I trimmed an inch from each of the three sides and distressed the edges to create a unique, textured look. Then, I placed the papers on top of the black gingham paper at the top of the page. I added multiple layers of patterned papers that complemented each other perfectly. Finally, I added my photos and embellished the page with a few Layered Bits and Pieces, Ephemera - Bits and Pieces, and the Santa from page pieces as the title. Overall, I am really pleased with how this project turned out!

Enjoy the video and happy scrapping!






Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today. I hope my project using this collection will inspire you to create something beautiful, too!

Oh, What Fun | Simple Stories | Boho Christmas Collection

 



Oh, What Fun


Hey there, my lovely Simple Stories friends! It's Yvette here, and I'm thrilled to share my latest layout with you using the stunning Boho Christmas collection. Oh, my goodness, this collection is absolutely amazing! It's so soft and beautiful that you're going to fall in love with it!



For my project, I used the reverse side of the Mistletoe Wishes paper. This side of the paper has a lovely light pink hue with outlines of Christmas trees and dots. I used this paper to create a heart, which I then enhanced by adding machine stitching around the edges. Additionally, I distressed the border to give it a more rustic feel. To complete the design, I cut out some tags from the Tag Elements paper, placing them under the heart so that only the top section of the tags was visible, which framed the heart nicely.



I combined a few fussy-cut gifts from the Better Not Pout pattern paper with chipboard stickers, cardstock stickers, and some ephemera bits and pieces to embellish my layout. This collection has the most beautiful die-cut poinsettias and adorable snowmen, making it so easy to add many layers and create a super festive look!


I used one of the papers from the 6x8 paper pad to back my photo and placed it on the left side of the heart. 


Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today. I hope my project using this collection will inspire you to create something beautiful, too!
