Holidays Reimagined

January 11, 2020 /

Hello and welcome! As part of The Creative Design Team, I was challenged to take any holiday product and turn it into something completely different. I decided to use a Christmas layout from the Complete Creativity Cricut Collection and turn it into a Valentine-themed scrapbook page. And just like that, the holidays have been reimagined!

Below is a look at the Complete Creativity layout I started with. You can see I incorporated the wreath, scalloped photo mat, scalloped border and the word “Love” ❤️ from the title. Be sure to see all the amazing projects included with the Complete Creativity Cricut collection. The possibilities are endless!

I have a few tips and tricks to share in my YouTube tutorial. To watch this layout come together check out the video below. To see all the talented ladies in this hop you will have to go visit my Youtube channel

I had a lot of fun pulling elements from my crafty stash to embellish this layout. The vellum leaves, from the Every Little Thing Collection, added so much presence to the wreath. I love the layered look. I am inspired to pull out my Stazon ink and stamp everything on vellum. It’s such a neat look.

The title was originally Peace, Love, Joy. By isolating the word Love, I have a whole new title option from the original layout. Since our cardstock is two-toned, I cut the heart image in the title from each side of the paper to add contrast. I then sanded the edges to give it a distressed feel.

The large red hearts were basic heart shapes added in the design space. I cut them in Ruby Red cardstock then sanded the edges to give them contrast. I wanted to add some additional hearts to my layout using the Stitched Heart Thin-cuts. By adding patterned paper and various sizes of the hearts it really upped the wow factor! All the patterned paper I used to create this layout came from retired Mix-In paper packs. Every catalog features a new mix-in collection to compliment the current paper suites. But really it can be a stand-alone kit!

Thanks for stopping by. I would love if you left me a comment to say hello!
