Seasons of Joy Christmas Scissors by Pam Bray

Happy Saturday to all of our Gyspy Soul Laser Cuts Fans!!! Pam here today to share with you a fun and easy Seasons of Joy Christmas Scissors Wall Décor to add to your holiday decoration this year or to gift to a special person on your holiday list!

Begin by painting Scissors Wall Décor with black paint, dry. Repeat with Weathered Wood; dry and lastly with Crackle Paste to achieve the crackle look. Next you will give a wash of the yellow and red paint; drying between coats. Lastly, add different layers of Metallic Lustre to achieve that vintage, rusty feel you like for your Seasons of Joy Christmas Scissors Wall Décor. Spatter with white and black paint; dry.

Paint a frame from the Filigree Frames and Shape Set using paint and lustre to continue your vintage look. Adhere to the center of the prepared scissors. Add chipboard piece to center of frame. Wrap frame with brown twine. 

Add miniature poinsettia, white flowers, berries and pinecones randomly along edge of Filigree Frame. 

 Paint Leafy Swirl with paint and apply a bit of the lustre to edges. Stamp with background stamp and black paint. Spatter with white and black paint. Adhere prepared Leafy Swirl under florals.

Add tan twine bow and rusty jingle bells to finish your Seasons of Joy Christmas Scissors. 

I hope you are inspired to create the Seasons of Joy Christmas Scissors for your gift giving this holiday season or to keep in mind as you enter the New Year. Now to a bit of a sad ending...this is my last official post as part of the Gyspy Soul Design Team but never fear you will continue to see me use Gypsy Soul Lasercuts Chipboard and you never know I may show back up here to do a few Guest Spots. You can follow my blog at Scrapbook Flair and I will always direct you back to the store to find the pieces I use when creating with Gyspy Soul Laser Cuts. Hugs Pam

Christmas Card and Tag...One Design Two Ways by Pam Bray

Welcome to all of our Gyspy Soul Laser Cuts Fans! Hard to believe that December is here and in full Christmas mode of decorating, gift buying, wrapping, creating tags and cards to just begin to name a few of the things we have on our holiday to do list. Today though I am sharing with you how to create a Christmas Card and Tag using one design two ways.

Begin by laying your card base and XL Tag on your work space. Adhere layers of paper strips to both to mirror each other. Add a Epherema card to the center of the tag and make sure to use a border punch to give some added vintage feel to both the card and tag.

Adhere a Flourish Frame to card front and one of the Stackable Labels to the tag.

Layer a sentiment to pattern paper and add to front of Flourish Frame with pop dots, and repeat by adhering sentiment to front of stackable chipboard piece and adhering it to front of tag.

Adhere a few of the chipboard pieces from the Feathery Flourish Set to both the card and tag.

"With All Good Wishes For Christmas and the New Year Card"

Add a pretty bow and some floral Christmas to the card front along with gemstones.

"Noel Tag"

Add bow to top of finished tag and floral pieces next to the Noel Stackable Label to mimic the card. I hope you recreate this easy and simple Card and Tag designed using one design two ways for some of your upcoming projects. Pam
