the holidays on their way, you're sure to need some papercrafting options
to spruce up your projects. Well, look no further; the
White Pines collection will be the perfect fit for all your upcoming projects, whether wintery, holiday-themed, or not. Let me show you why.
Here you can see the beautiful designed paper,
the background and texture paper we have here. Look at these wonderful trees more of a traditional Christmas tree here. I love the added Cranberry
color. It really just makes that paper pop.
The candy cane stripped
trunk, and then notice this wonderful tree right here next to this. I love this added element to this paper packet. You can see
that same tree design, here, on this page but without all the added textures
or different design elements. And so it makes it very subtle, and a beautiful, beautiful, simple page.
Again, we have more of the holiday style papersyou've
got here some snowflakes, and little holly berries, and leaves really fun. Of course, the ric-rac, is really,
really, really, sweet as well. And what I love about this paper pack is this added blue paper and design. I think I feel like this really pulls it into a different
direction, and more of a winter, non-holiday feel, if
you will.
Also included with our featured paper here, you can see we have cardstock. We have Cranberry, Fern, Colonial White, and Chocolate.
So I just wanted you to know the added elements with this wonderful paper packet. Now, of course, no paper packet at Close To My Heart is complete without the added Complements and assortments, and even a stamp set. So I wanted to show you first, these wonderful
Complements you can see here.
These die-cuts are kraft, and we have the plastic. Just, really different sizes of icons, and elementslet me just flip this over
so you can see. Look at this; isn't that just precious? That cute little reindeer, and the baby reindeer, and you've got some Christmas trees, and "hello DECEMBER" sentiments; so much variety and versatility within all of these wonderful, well-thought out added Complements that go with White Pines. Look at thatisn't that fun? That's just
a little sampling of them.
So let me just flip this over really quickly
so that you can see the sticker Complements that go with it as
well Here you've got, I mean, look at these adorable
animals the moose, I think, is my favorite, because
I love the ornaments hanging off of the horns there.
So, so, fun! You can see the Christmas tree element as
well. You've got some beautiful red Cranberry flowers,
different sizes, and leaves. And, let's look at this one. Oh, look at this, this is a tree trunk design.
And you can see ornaments as well, some tags; look at these borders, there's just so much
variety within the Complements. I love it! We think of everything! So, not only do we have those really fun Complements,
that I've just shown you let me just move those out of the way here. We also have these enamel gems. And there's three different shades of red, so you've more of a deeper, a little bit of
a medium, and then the really bright holiday red here.
So really great to add a little more bling and dimension to your
project. And then we do also have the Fern twine here. Just a fun way to tie your projects together. All right, so let me move those out of the
way.
I also have, this assortment. Here we have our badge buttons, you can seearen't they
just wonderful? You've got this larger size, and
then a smaller size, all different designslook
at this precious owl holding that little present. Just really fun, added things to add to your White Pines collection. Okay.
So I also want to show you, this beautiful page over here, you can see. Let's look how I pulled the whole
collection together. So here you have this one-page layout, and look at this how all of the background
and texture papers come in so beautifully, and even using that wonderful white tree as the base of this page. Now notice I've added the badge buttons, and the
really wonderful but I've also added some stamping elements as well.
As well as it is here. So I want to show you just really quickly that wonderful stamp set. It is so adorable you're going to love it. It's called Miracle
of Christmas; and look at these fun little animals that
you can stamp and color in, candy canes, ornaments; so these
are the two that I've used on my layout.
So now let's quickly look over at these cards and you can see how I stamped those animals, and then by using our watercolors, colored those in. Such a
fun added element. And you can see that the Complements
are also part of this cute card, and of course, my Fern twine, 'cause I'm tying it all together. And now
let's look at this fun card.
There's my cute little reindeer, and he's got a red nose, with that enamel gem, oh my goodness, that is so precious! And you
can see how the stamp sets all tie together. Now let's go look and see at this page one
more time, because I want to show you something really
cool that I. Did. It's a technique that I'm about to show
you, and that's the distressed look around these around these photos.
So you can see it's a great way to frame the photos, and it's really, really,
really simple to use. So let me move this stuff out of the
way. And I've got two tools that I'm going to be using actually, threebut I'm going to show you first, using our micro-tip scissors. And by using our micro-tip scissors, and just going along the edge of the cardstock, you will see that distressed look come to
life.
Close To My Heart's um, cardstock has a white
core, and it really helps to bring in that distressed
look. I love that! And we have purposefully done the white core because we print our colors
to get our perfect colors onto the cardstock! So we can have
our own exclusive color palette. Another option is using this distressing tool here, and again, this one, you know, depending on the pressure and how quickly you do it, you can see how
it folds up the edges there, right there. So
some different ways.
And my third way is just using my fingernail. And I can do it um, it's not as intense as the scissors, or
the distressing tool, but by working it through, you can see that
it shows the white core cardstock, as well as giving you that distressed look. So three different ways to make this fun and awesome distressed look, and I love how it's just framing my photos
just right. All right, also as part of our White Pines collection, we
have the Picture My Life cards.
And so for the
Picture My Life cards, I want to show you here, look how fun these are! They also have these really fun holiday designs, but they also have a day, every day in December printed on some of the cards! So you can see here, let's see, this one says "DEC 11," you can see that fun geometric shape. There's sentiments: HAPPY, JOYFUL, DECEMBER,
TWELFTH." And we have journaling cards. Of course weve got the sizes of 4" 6", and the 3" 4"; just a really, really, great
way Here, let's look at this one really quick,
DEC 1. Wouldn't it be great to take a photo every
single day in December? And then put them inside of your Picture My
Life White Pines collection? Really a wonderful
way to preserve the holidays; it will be really special.
So we have all of the days in December, All right, now I'm really excited to show
you this next part, because, if you're loving this collection, you know you can take it, outside of the holiday realmI'm going to
show you how. So let's look over here, you can see this
one- page layout right here. Look at this: by adding
in the White Daisy cardstock, and some other colors I have Peacock here, and we have Slate ink, and Slate cardstock, and the word "SMILE," it really changes the look and feel of this paper collection. I'm using the same B&Ts out of White Pines, but adding those cardstocks really
takes it in a whole new direction.
All right, so here
I've showed you the one-page layout. Now let me show you this card. Same concept. It's that really pretty blue B&T design and paper, and Ive even used some of the Complements that have come
with that collection.
But again, I've added Peacock, Ive added some Slate
cardstock, and look at how it really changes the look
and feel of the whole kit. So those are just a few examples of the many ways you can make White Pines work at any time or any season. So get your hands on the
