Magical Christmas Home Decor Using A Magical Christmas Collection

Can summer get any better? Jennifer Snyder here to tell you...Yes it can!

Authentique Paper's new holiday collection, "A Magical Christmas", is now available adding a special magic to summer.

You can see the entire Magical Christmas collection here.

I have a few Christmas cards completed with the new collection so now I'm turning my attention to a home decor gift using "A Magical Christmas".

"A Magical Christmas" is a classically wonderful collection filled with the greens and reds of the season, the Christmas plaids that are so popular, "candy cane" stripes and vintage ephemera images that are perfect for quick card making.

Here are the papers used on this project.

This piece is actually a plain DIY wooden plaque bought at a big box store. I thought it would make a cute Christmas house for the front door. I painted the wood first with a vanilla cream acrylic paint. Once totally dry, it was covered with patterned papers.

The heart layer has some additional faux stitching on the edges made with a white paint marker.

Next I added the "Merry Christmas " sentiment sticker from Authentique Paper - A Magical Christmas Collection - Cardstock Stickers backed with foam to add dimension.

The berries are generic cheap foam berries from a craft store.

Chipboard embellishments were added to the piece for a warm seasonal feel. The chipboard is from Creative Embellishments and has been painted or inked to match the paper. ( Creative Embellishments - Pine Cone Clusters and Creative Embellishments - Love Joy Peace -custom sized for cards.
