One last Christmas project for the year.  Sometimes, you are in need of just a little gift for someone unexpected and this treat box card is the perfect little idea.  I've made these for several years now and this year had to be my favorite time of making them because of the great collage sheets from Altered Pages .  This sheet is the Santa Then and Now collage and it has become one of my favorites to use.  It went perfectly with the Joyeux Noel patterned paper by Glitz and helped to create this gorgeous little treat box card.  Another great thing about this is that it can be decorated to fit any holiday or theme.  Would you like to create your own for future holidays?  Keep an eye on the  Altered Pages website for an upcoming kit!  Merry Christmas Everyone! ~Peg

  Need to do " a little" decorating yet this year?  Sometimes there's just no place to fit a big tree, but that doesn't mean you can't have one. I purchased this small 12" tree at one of my local stores and decorated it using bottle caps and the Christmas Bottle Cap collage sheet from Altered Pages .  They make beautiful ornaments for any tree, but especially a small one.  There's even a bottle cap die to make the cutting of them quick and easy.  Fill them with a little Crystal Lacquer  and allow to dry, add a small piece of ribbon for a hanger and you're ready to decorate. Need a tree topper?  Create your own using a piece of the Joyeux Noel paper and this wonderful  Santa image from the Colorful Christmas collage sheet.     Let the decorating begin and create your own small ornaments this year.  Just think of the possible places where a little tree would make the holiday spirit brighte...

Hi Everyone it's Danie here today, with a Christmas Tag to share with you all, created using up some of my paper scraps and a bottle cap. I have been working on a number of projects for Christmas using the Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium Papers from Altered Pages and had some bits of these delightful papers left over so I thought I would make some tags.  I started by taking a Manilla Tag  and using this as a template cut out the same shape from a piece of the Blue Snowflake Paper.  To this I have stamped and embossed some white snowflakes and added a small clear rhinestone to the center of each snowflake.  I then inked the edges with some Paris Trunk Walnut Ink and adhered to the Manilla Tag.  For the center of my tag I have layered some Gold Metallic Ribbon and Natural Colour Netting under a scrap of the Toy Paper. To coordinate and add another touch of Christmas I have punched out with a 1" Circle Punch Santa's face from one...

Welcome to Altered Pages - hope you are enjoying your weekend! Susan here and now that November is upon us, Christmas card creating and handmade holiday gift making is in full swing. Today I am sharing a Christmas Card I made using a single digital vintage image from AlteredPages.com . This is a vintage Christmas greeting { AP single 601 } of a holiday storefront window. I printed out four copies onto a matte finish white cardstock. Four copies are enough so that I can accent and dimensionalize the base layer, then accent sections of the figures that I cut out and raise with foam pop dots for a faux 3-D effect. I accented the details using different colors of the  Terri Sproul Mixers  and also made the window dimensional by painting with  Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer . I cut out the figures and sections to build up multiple layers using foam pop dots. Before adhering, I finished off the white edges of the hand-cut pieces wi...

I had to share the December page from a 2012 calendar swap that I'm partcipating in.  Altered Pages has so many wonderful images and Christmas images are no exception.  This little calender features each month on a different page and is housed in a CD case.
