Decking the Halls... Imaginisce Style!

Holiday Greetings to you my friends!

We are in the Holiday spirit at Imaginisce!!!  You know what they say about these things, it does become infectious so don't say I didn't warn you...  he he!

Today's Deck the Halls post over at Imaginisce is all about Christmas Card inspiration.  You all know how much I adore cardmaking!  I decided to create a fun easel card so I could display some Holiday spirit at work.  (For a wonderful easel card tutorial, from Beate Johns at SplitCoast Stampers click here!) 

A little detail image for you:

Designer Notes:
I've accented this card with a bit of bling using my i-Rock and some jewels.  Last year I found that gorgeous large acrylic snowflake from the Cottage Christmas collection by Imaginisce and it seemed like the perfect fit for this card. 

Mr. Snowbird was trimmed out from one of the "Santa's Little Helper" sticker stackers.

To create the "door stop" part of my easel card, I simply attached the sentiment die cut with some of the foam tape by Imaginisce.  It worked perfectly!

Imaginisce and Glue Arts

Happy Wednesday to you!

What do you get when you mix things up between two fabulous companies?  A blog hop between those companies as well as some fabulous inspiration! 

The very generous folks over at Glue Arts sent on over some of their amazing products to the Imaginisce gals to play with.  In return, Imaginisce sent over some of our fun papers to the Glue Arts team.

I wanted to share with you the altered frame that I created with the Bon Voyage collection by Imaginisce and my Glue Arts adhesive products. 

I love this photo of our youngest guy when he was around 18 months.  This was a super hot day in August at Grandpa's farm.  That look on his face and those rosy red cheeks make me smile!

After I base coat painted my frame navy, I then attached my plane pattern paper.  Next, a die cut plane and cloud were attached using the U Cut It foam and Raise n's to vary the dimension.

The collage on the lower left began with the Tourist Class sticker stacker.  I covered one of our new 34mm brad daddies with the compass paper.  I added some U Cut It foam on the brad and Raise n's on my "Arrived" chipboard to vary the heights to work with the dimension in the Sticker Stacker.

The collage needed a little more interest, so I wanted to add a few of our Roly Rosies to it.  The PermaTac Mini's were perfect to attach them!

Here's another image to show texture and dimension:
