Deck the Halls with Cocoa Daisy!
Hello, friends!
The Winter Twilight Collection is perfect for decorating your planners and embellishment your journals and memory-keeping layouts, but it also makes great decorations for your home and the gifts you might be giving this season! Our Creative Team is sharing how they decked their halls (and gifts!) with Cocoa Daisy this season.
Tanti loves making room decorations out of the dashboards from the Day Planner Dashboards Kit.
"This month I made a holiday side table decoration using one of the Winter Twilight Day Planner Dashboards. I wanted my decoration to be used not only for Christmas but also for the whole winter. So I created this winter wonderland scene with a little touch of Christmas.
I used the stardust stamp and the snowflake stamps from the Winter Twilight Modern Memory Keeping Kit to create a frosty look on the corners and the upper area. Then I layered the mountain stickers from the Winter Twilight Planner Kit and the Winter Twilight Planner Add On Kit on the center area. For the title, I combined the alphabet stickers from the Planner Kit and from the Modern Memory Keeping Kit together.
To create a little touch of Christmas in this scene, I glued the red flowers from the Winter Twilight Printables on the bottom.
Here is the final look after I put it in the frame. I know I will enjoy looking at this festive wintery theme all season long."
In a season of gift-giving, Carole is always looking for ways to personalize gifts.
"An easy way I found to do that is with elements from the Winter Twilight Collection. Using papers from the Winter Twilight Modern Memory Keeping Kit, I was able to create some tags by cutting them down and adding a simple hole punch to spruce up the presents. I knew I had to use the snowflake sticker die-cut that says, “ Winter Walks and Fuzzy Socks” on the cute snowman 3x4 card for a fuzzy sock gift. For my “ribbon” I just used some recycled jersey material I have on hand.
I wanted to highlight one of the snowflakes on the mini tag, so I added the circular text stamp from the Winter Twilight Travelers Notebook Memory Keeping Kit around the yellow snowflake for a bit more interest. A bit of washi on the bottom from the Winter Twilight Modern Memory Keeping Kit gave the tag a bit more structure. The colors in this collection are so fun! Adding alpha stickers from the Winter Twilight Memory Keeping Sticker Kit made this project quick and easy. I added the word “Jolly” on some white card stock that I jazzed up with the twinkling diamond stamp from the Winter Twilight Modern Memory Keeping Kit. I followed a similar pattern by adding the Washi tape from the Travelers Notebook Memory Keeping Kit at the bottom for more structure.
I hope this inspires you to get creative with the different bits and pieces from this beautiful collection. I know it will make your gifts extra special this year."
Christmas is one of Belinda's favorite times of the year, and Christmas decorations are a fun way to get festive.
"For this crafty project, I used the chipboard star stickers from the Winter Twilight Travelers Notebook Memory Keeping Kit and Winter Twilight Modern Memory Keeping Kit and the beautiful blue and silver foiled thin Washi from the Modern Memory Keeping Kit.
To start I made a Washi ribbon by sticking two pieces of Washi together (sticky sides together) then cut the strip of Washi into 5 long pieces - I cut on each side of the silver foiling lines. I then chose 10 of the chipboard star stickers, some with sentiments and some pattered - Making sure I had 2 of each size to stick together, with the Washi ribbon stuck inside.
I made another Washi ribbon and made it into a bow, then tied the 5 dangle stars at different lengths to the Washi bow.
Each month I frame my favorite Dashboard from the Day Planner Dashboards Kit to display on my desk. I decided to add a little decoration to the frame until we get our Christmas Tree.
Our Juniper Conifer Tree out in the front yard also needed a little sprucing up, don't you think?"
It's time to deck the halls with Natasha and the Winter Twilight Collection.

"Today, I'm sharing a quick and easy tutorial on how to put together these cute and personalized gift tags using this beautiful wintery collection. Just in time for those last-minute gifts. For the foundation of these tags, I used papers from the Winter Twilight Classified: Memory Keeping Kit and Winter Twilight Travelers Notebook Memory Keeping Kit along with two different paper punches from my stash. I loved the snowflakes from the Travelers Notebook Memory Keeping Kit and wanted to layer it with the chipboard star. For a little visual interest, I offset the embellishments and adhered the layers with a strong adhesive to keep the layers in place.

For each tag, I needed a place to add the name and a little note. To do so, I used label stickers from the Winter Twilight Memory Keeping Sticker Kit and Winter Twilight Daisy Add On Sticker Kit. As always, don’t be afraid to alter your stickers to make them work for you.

 

Word strips are the perfect accent to tags, too! The “special delivery” sentiment was just too perfect not to use. Make sure to watch my process video for an in-depth look at these tags!"
