Christmas layout with bonus ornament idea
Click image to enlarge
Designer: Becky Novacek
I was so excited to use the new Fiskars Lace and Lattice Border Corner Punch when I got it. It’s like two tools in one and so easy to use. The one inch guides insure that even the most uncrafty (is that a word?!) people can use it with success. I created two different super simple projects that will hopefully inspire you. The first project took about 5 minutes, literally. I plan to make them in mass to use as Christmas gift tags, but I think they would be cute as Christmas ornaments or placecards as well. The second project is a Christmas layout. I plan to recreate this layout 3 more times so that each of the children has one in their book. It goes together so quickly and easily, yet has a detailed look, thanks to the Lace and Lattice Punch.
