Christmas Shabby Chic Kit #2 - Detail Photos & Technique Video Tutorial

Welcome!

Today's post is a very long one again. It has all 6 card photos and detail photos!! It's mainly for those that purchased a kit through Scrapbook Parade, but to those that did not order a kit, these photos may be of some inspiration to you, in making your Christmas cards for this year. Plus there is a little technique video tutorial, too.

The 3 Gatefold Cards

When folded closed, these cards measure 3 1/2"W x 6"H

Before going into the card details, I just wanted for those that purchased a kit to know, that when you are using the coconut fibres, you need very little, so be careful how much you use. Of course you don't want to be skimpy either. Just to give you and idea, I took a photo of card #1 after attaching the coconut hair.

That is pretty much all that you need.
