Hi Pinkfresh Friends! Kerstin here today with a brandnew Scrapbooking inspiration feat. the new "Very Merry Christmas" collection! This collection combines traditional colors (red, green) with other stunning colors such as purple, pink, blue, and yellow. For this layout, I chose my favorite colors from this collection.

I hope you like it and that you'll get this amazing collection!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. First, cut 1 1/2 x 2 inch rectangles out of white cardstock. For the letter “M,” cut to 2 x 2 inches.

2. Choose your favorite cardstock and cut rectangles from it as well, BUT two sides one line smaller than the dimensions given above!

3. Glue the colored cardstock onto the white cardstock. If you like, you can punch a hole in a few rectangles and thread a matching ribbon through them - I think it looks great!

4. Punch out the letters with the Jody Uppercase Die - 2x from white cardstock and 1x from colored cardstock and glue 2x white and 1x colored together.

5. Glue the letters onto the matching rectangles with 3D foam.

6. Print your photo in 1 1/2 x 2 inches and punch out the letter “Y” in the center. Punch out the letter 2 more times from white cardstock and glue them all together. Place the letter on the punched-out part of your photo.

7. Cut a piece of white cardstock to 9 x 9 inches.

8. Arrange the rectangles on the white cardstock some with liquid glue, some with 3D Foam.

9. Cut a 5 3/4 x 2 inch strip from the Heat Resistant Acetate Sheet, write the word Christmas with the Puffy Alpha Stickers, and glue the decorated on with 3D foam (placed invisibly under the letters).

10. Decorate with various Embellishments such as Puffy Stickers, Chipboard Titles, Ephemera, Cardstock Stickers, and, of course, Enamel Shapes.

11. Take a Christmas bauble from the Ephemera, thread a ribbon through the opening, stick the bauble under the word Christmas using 3D foam and decorate with a punched-out bow from the Tied with Cheer Die.

12. Cut the wavy edges off one of the Ephemera tags, glue it under the 9 x 9 inch cardstock, and sew or embroider over it if you like.

13. Glue the 9 x 9 inch decorated cardstock onto a 12 x 12 inch cardstock with 3D foam.

Thanks for stopping by! 

I hope you like this layout and it gets you in the Christmas feeling. Can't wait to see what you create!

See you next time!
