Christmas Projects

Hello!  Once again Christmas is almost here.  Pion Design released two new Christmas paper collections and I am posting projects today made from both collections.  Although the traditional red and green collection of Let’s Be Jolly is awesome, I always love their soft pastel Christmas collections the best, and this year, Winter Wonderland is so lovely.  The first project was posted today here on the Pion Design blog. It is an altered metal letter box. I thought it would be fun to store and save holiday cards my family received in this box. It’s covered with Winter Wonderland papers and the frosty effect is from lots of smeared on Snow-Tex.

I made this little Christmas ornament from a sheet of blue paper from the Winter Wonderland collection.

The next project consists of three handmade boxes covered with Winter Wonderland and Let’s Be Jolly papers and can be found on the Pion Design blog here

Each of these handmade boxes contain six Christmas cards and matching envelopes.  I thought the boxes filled with cards would make great gifts for special people.

Each box has a removable Christmas ornament on top nestled in place by flowers!  How special is that!

The cards (as well as the box die cuts) were made from Spellbinders “Shapeabilities Annabelle’s Trousseau Layering Frame Medium Etched Dies Chantilly Paper Lace Collection.”

The vintage images from the Winter Wonderland collection match beautifully with both pastel pink and pastel blue cardstock as a base.

This dainty ceramic Christmas ornament was purchased at Hobby Lobby.

Let’s Be Jolly collection has the traditional reds and greens of Christmas.  The collection has great vintage images!


Best wishes for all to have a wonderful holiday season!

    Tara, oh how I wish we could spend about 5 days together. You just make my jaw drop looking at your crafts. But then again you know how much I adore your work!!! It’s just so beautiful. Your taste and mine is so similar, that it’s a little creepy. I think I have told you before that I thought we were sisters from different Mothers!!! LOL. Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year my dear online crafter. Hugs!!!!!!

    I am envious of the talent you show. You are a Queen at what you do and I am but a pauper. But I thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for the beauty you share with all. May the Lord Bless and Keep you thru our Christmas season and for all time in the future. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    WAUW WAUW and more WAUW !! As usual you´re creating those totally out of this world amazing projects, that I´ve already drooled over at Pions blog, but I just never get tired of watching your fabulous work. You are by far the most talented crafter, I´ve ever met and I wish I could borrow your brain just a couple of hours every nmow and then to get some of these great ideas.
    I hope, you´ll have a wonderful time with your amazing family during this month, and that you and your amazing husbond will have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with family and friends. Give my best to him as well from both me and hubby.
