Saturday Step by Step - Christmas Stripes

Hello Everyone, Pamellia here! So glad you dropped in to Frilly and Funkie today for my Saturday Step by Step. I have put together a complete tutorial on the Christmas card I made for Jenny's "All Lined Up" challenge. I really had fun playing with my wonderful new products from The Funkie Junkie Boutique!! I hope you enjoy!

I cut three panels from the Pion Design paper stacks Siri's Kitchen and A Day in May, sizes 6", 5.5" and 5" squared. I layered them onto slightly larger panels of white, distressed all the edges and layered them together with foam squares.

I cut a panel of corrugated cardboard about 5" x 3".

I cut a deer from striped Pion Design paper using the Tim Holtz Reindeer Flight die, and edged it with Potting Soil Archival ink from Ranger.

I chose a great image from the Tim Holtz Festive Ephemera pack and distressed it.

Some seam binding that I coloured with Distress ink spray Walnut stain and then tied in a bow.

I cut a doily with a Prima die and pulled out a couple of these fabulous wood chippies from Southern Trading Co.

I made this ruffled ribbon using May Arts ribbon. To see a full tutorial on how to create these wonderful ruffles, visit my Friday Focus on May Arts Ribbon here.

Time to layer a few things together to make sure the base design has a good balance.

Next I cut some leaves out of a striped page from the Tim Holtz Yuletide paper pad and edged them with Potting Soil.

I used some of this lovely baker's twine, a beautiful reindeer charm and some jingle bells to add a little extra festive cheer.

I added some Petaloo flowers and Wild Orchid flowers as well as some Tim Holtz Mirror Stars.

Some last minute touches with some Prima Gesso, Holiday Words die, a little clothes pin, Chit Chat stickers and a spritz of Picket Fence for good measure.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. There's still lots of time to enter our current challenge "ALL LINED UP". We'll be back first thing on Monday to announce the winners of our last challenge, so make sure to check in for that.

Thanks for stopping in!
Hugs, Pamellia :)

Guest Designer - Autumn Clark

It is time to introduce you to the Guest Designer for our All Lined Up challenge.  Please say hello and give a warm welcome to Autumn Clark of Sew, Paper, Paint.  Autumn was the Design Team's favourite from the Let the words do the talking challenge.

"I am married to an amazing man, and my biggest supporter. We have four children, yes four! I work full time as a church secretary. I have been stamping for over 15 years. Creativity is my outlet, passion and purpose. I define my style as grunge meets elegance.

Though I love to distress everything, I like to balance my work with a touch of pretty and neat. In addition to stamping, I love to draw and paint and have found that mixed media allows me to blend these skills and create rich artwork, filled with depth and texture.

I am thrilled to be joining the amazing talent at Frilly & Funkie for this month's All Lined Up challenge, which I must say is such a cool theme! This design team never ceases to inspire me and I am honored to be here."

"I had a full on stamping, mixed media party at my table creating this project. All of my favorite supplies were invited. I began by building layers of chipboard strips to create some texture over a Scrabble game board, then added some crackle, watercolor crayons, and Infusions powders. Some of my newer stamps came out to play, resulting in a very moody mixed media creation. Find the details and a step out on my blog."
