Scrap That! Holiday Magic Kit

Crisp white mornings, a cozy fire, twinkling lights, the smell of pine and fresh baking. Surrounded by family and friends, the holidays are a magical time of celebration. Scrap That! is pleased to present their "Holiday Magic" kit featuring the Night Divine paper collection by Iron Orchid Designs. With rich, romantic colors and floral elements, this collection transcends the holidays and can be used for themes such as, heritage, romance/wedding and Winter!

My first layout with the kit. I was really trying to hilight the beautiful gold flowers so decided on a very vintage/distressed look to compliment the tones. By keeping the papers and embellishments quite monotoned, the photos just pop right off the page. I added the doily from my stash and the piece of white cardstock which I stamped a few images in the four corners as well as distressed (a lot - LOL) with Vintage Photo Distress ink by Tim Holtz.

There are so many fun tags and cardstock stickers in this kit - perfect for those tiny embellished areas and to add punches of colour here and there. Many of the tags included gold flocking - just gorgeous!


I distressed the white flowers as well by lightly brushing my distress ink over each of them so they weren't so strikingly white against the aged papers.

My second layout features lots and lots of layering!! Love doing this in my projects - I just feel that it offers so much more deapth to a project and its a great way to introduce touches of colour and pattern without overpowering your layout.

Of course there's that photo I couldn't resist!! My daughter wearing one of my old jackets from childhood. I actually dulled the colours in the photo (originally a very punchy red) to match the papers and flowers better.

A little nest with some holly tucked under the paper roll. Decorative scissors created the pattern on the cardstock which I used to frame my photo.

The beautiful holiday vine from Prima. The soft colours in this were a perfect compliment to the woody tones in the photo.

In the kit, there were several holly leaves and berries. I took them apart and used the berries for the centre of my bloom - mixed in some gold brads as well.

My third and final layout with this gorgeous kit also incorporates a heap of layers and fussy cutting. I adored the framed design on one of the Night Divine papers so cut it out and layered overtop of my project. This is a great technique so that you can customize the background papers to anything you like.

I added the butterflies to this layout to offer a softer touch. Again, lots of distressing and aging using the distress ink. Just love this look!


With the leftover papers I created this sweet little star ornament.
