December 2015

Christmas is just around the corner, just a few more days, and I have decided to take a break from designing during the holidays to spend some much needed time with my family. So there won’t be anything new from me in the next two weeks, BUT, I did add three new packs to my stores: a set of dinner printables, that you might be able to use for your Christmas party, if you are hosting one, a sheet with gift tags and a snowy paperpack.

Christmas Dinner Printables

A set of printables for your next Christmas party, created with traditional Christmas colours, red and green, some holly and a vintage Santa Claus image.

Included in this pack are:
- a menu card (measures 5 x 7,5 in or 12,7 x 19,05 cm)
- a tent place card (measures 3,5 x 2,5 in or 8,89 x 6,35 cm) when folded
- a utensil holder (measures 4,25 x 6,75 in or 10,8 x 17,15 cm) when folded
- a napkin ring (measures 7,873 x 2,167 in or 20 x 5,5 cm)

You will receive a Hi Res printable sheet (PDF + JPG) for each item and I have included JPG and/or PNG files as well so you can use them in your digital projects too. I have included some instructions on the previews, but everything is very easy to assemble. I am going to use these myself!

This pack coordinates with the following packs:
Santa Wishlist
Christmas Gift Tags Vol.01
Merry Christmas Banner

The striped pattern is a paper from my Cosy Christmas Fantasy Papers and the creamy paper is from my Cosy Christmas Solid Papers. The doily is part of my Cosy Christmas Elements pack and the vintage Santa Claus stamp is a brush from my Jolly Santa Brushes pack.

Christmas Gift Tags Vol.01

Funny vintage style Christmas gift tags, to decorate your Christmas presents! I have provided a front and a back. If you do not want a white blank back for your tags, then print on both sides of your paper. The back and the basis of the front is a red striped pattern with holly. On the front it says ‘North Pole Express Delivery’ with various boxes to check (Recipient has been found…, Do not open until…, Inspection by…). The stamp on the tag says ‘This item has been approved by Santa’.

Included in this pack are:
- a printable sheet with 4 tags; each tag measures 2,61 x 4 in (6,63 x 10,16 cm) - front and back, JPG and PDF format;
- PNG files of the front and the back of the tag, for use in your digital projects.

These gift tags coordinate with the following packs:

A Fairytale in the Snow Papers

It’s a wonderful combination, snow and afternoon sunlight… I created these papers from pictures that I took in the snow, photographing the light in the snow. I edited them and added some textures and overlays. Mix and match these papers in all your digital scrapbooking, art journaling, card making and paper craft projects. Or use them as overlays, play with the blend modes!

These packs are available in my Etsy store, in my shop at Digital Scrapbooking Studio and in my shop at Creative Market.

It’s been a while since I last posted a message here. Actually, it’s been QUITE a while since I last posted anything new. Time has flewn by so quickly and so much has happened since my last post…

I’ll give you a quick overview:

1. I have gone solo on Etsy!
   As you may recall I joined forces with Tinne and Joachim from VectoriaDesigns in July and they offered me the amazing opportunity to sell my designs in their shop. But it was always my intention to have my own Etsy shop one day. End of November I took the leap and it feels good! Take a look at my shop here.
2. Next to Etsy and Creative Market, I now have a third digi home at Digital Scrapbooking Studio
   After a guest period of one month, I am allowed to stay! Visit my shop here.
3. I now have a Creative Team! I have five girls who make layouts with my products, and help me promote my products: Eszter, Jen, Ona, Erin and Valé. It takes a lot of work from my hands, it always helps if more people help you promoting and showing what can be done with my designs.

Next to that, I just keep on creating! Can you believe that Christmas is just 10 days away? If you haven’t already, you will definitely get that feeling with my new Christmas themed collection. Created with traditional Christmas colours - red and green - this large collection will help you document your most precious Christmas memories. ‘Cosy Christmas’ is made up of both realistic and artsy elements and will appeal to a variety of crafting and scrapping styles.
