Winter Journal Book Creativation Debut with Karen Bearse

For a lot of us crafty types the annual CHA Show is a favourite time of year. All the new products that are unveiled, just too exciting. This year saw big changes in our event, a new name Creativation, a new level of excitement & a new company. For me as a designer I was very excited to get my hands on some new product to play with. Especially Ellen Hull’s new Sizzix die “The Journal”. The potential is endless and once again the perfect chippies to play with are Southern Ridge Trading Co.

I was honoured to have my book as a sample in the Southern Ridge Trading Co. booth for Creativation 2017. This is a winter cool project covered in lots of wet media. The thing that is most impressive is that the chippies took the wet beautifully. The book has a shimmery cool winter look to it.

Southern Ridge Trading Company Products Used:

- HD Snowflake

- Snowflakes 713

You are going to really want to join in our challenge this month with the chance to win free chippies. Wait until you see all the awesome new designs that were unveiled at Creativation!!!

Karen will be teaching this class at Goldenhills Papercrafts in Clifton, VA on February.16th. To register go to: http://www.goldenshillpapercrafts.com.

Happy crafting!

Hello! Thank you for joining me, Corina, here on the Southern Ridge Trading Company blog. For this post, I wanted to share with you a special Ornament that I have hanging on my Christmas tree.

The steps I used to create these Ornaments are very simple. I used the embossing dauber to apply a layer of embossing ink on top of the Snowflake and Happy Holiday sentiment. I coated the Snowflake with Gold tinsel embossing powder and the Happy Holidays sentiment with blue tinsel embossing powder. Heat set all three pieces and let cool. I used glossy accents to attached the Happy Holiday sentiment. For a finishing touch I added rhinestones and gold thread to hang.

Chipboard Designs Used:

Wood Words Of Christmas-Joy

HD Snowflake
