Christmas Decor using a Mini Album

Happy Wednesday Bo Bunny fans!  Juliana here to share some hand made Christmas decor using a mini album.  Yes, you read correctly, I used a mini album to create some festive Christmas decor.  I used the new Blitzen Mini Album to create five decorative pieces that can be hung anywhere in your home, including on your Christmas tree. They could also easily be strung on a ribbon and used as a banner on your mantle.



I choose five of the chipboard pages from the Blitzen Mini Album to create them.  I used the pre-printed image on some of them to inspire my decoration and embellishment.




Obviously, it would have been a lot faster to use these images as they were and just dress them up a bit with some glitter and jewels.  I however, wanted to do more with my hands, so I decided to step it up a bit.  I used various chipboard pieces from the Blitzen 12 x 12 Chipboard to layer and decorate each piece.
 



I dressed each on up a bit using pearl pen, jewels, ink, crackle paint, glitter glue and ribbon.



I used my Cricut to die cut shapes such as the holly leaves on the Two Turtle Doves piece, the snowflake on the Blitzen piece and the poinsettia on the Stocking piece. I also used various punches to create decorative borders on several of them.



Bo Bunny Supplies:
Blitzen 6 x 6 paper pad, 12 x 12 Chipboard, Buttons, Jewels, Cardstock Stickers, and Mini Album


I hope you enjoyed this series of Christmas decor pieces and that you found them inspiring as you create some fun Christmas decor for your home this holiday season!
