White Christmas - Gecko Galz Challenge

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing my DT creations for the brand new White Christmas challenge over at Gecko Galz. 

There is only one rule and that is, you need to use at least ONE product from Gecko Galz! It can be one of the free products, stamps, collage images or digital papers! it's up to you! The winner will receive a $25 Gecko Galz shopping spree. 

 For my creations I have designed a mini stamp folder . For the cover, I have used these beautiful Christmas papers from the Merry and Bright  collection. This wonderful vintage image from the Cuties at Christmas digital collage sheet.

I decorated the inside of the folder using the same coordinating papers and I also created pockets using strips of Kraft card to store my handmade vintage stamps. 

To create the stamps, I also used Kraft card stock and decorated them with the same paper from the collection. I then printed out some of the images from the cuties at Christmas collage sheet and adhered those onto the stamp shapes. 

I have used a rubber mail art stamp to give them some postal marks.

Thanks for stopping by the Fairy Den, I really appreciate your visit!

Vintage lace cards - Gecko Galz Design Team creations

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! Tonight I am sharing some more DT creations that I designed for Gecko Galz. 

I have created two vintage cards using these stunning images and papers from Gecko Galz Etsy store. For both card layouts, I have layered my chosen paper and vintage image, distressing all edges with Vintage photo Distress ink. Keeping with the vintage theme, I also used an Xcut lace border punch on the edge of the paper to give a more soft and feminine touch. 

Lastly, I added cheesecloth and dainty white mulberry flowers with a pearl centre. Thank you so much for stopping by the Fairy Den, I really do appreciate your visit!
