Using a jumbo snowflake ,, ink the edges in brown. (can be one punched out snowflake) attach a chipboard snowflake to the middle and use a brad in the centre.


 

Pages

 

1st page of each recipe is the name of the recipe . ONLY on the first page I edged with lace.

Then I used a wassail patterned side and a slightly smaller distressed side . I used a paint dauber on all the edges then inked them.

I used stickers to decorate the bottom of the page.

I attached the distressed side to the patterned side – mounting it .

I used a brad in two corners .

I cut out a cream square , and snipped off the corners . I wrote the name of my recipe and attached it to the mounted background.

 

 Each Recipe page.

Fold your A4 printed recipe in half – then half again – to fit smaller than the page.

I ran some glue ( prick stick or similar ) down the middle of the recipe page – I only glued the length size of my recipe paper.

I then attached some ribbon to the glue – waited for it dry and then placed my folded recipe paper in the middle .

I folded the ribbon over and tied in a lose knot .

I continued in this way on the other five pages.

Wassail Layout

Designed by Maddy Hill

Products used: Basic Grey Wassail Collection

Quick Guide

  • This layout uses two of the Wassail papers on the plain reverse side. Position the papers so that the second is at an angle on the first.

  • Cut up a 12x12 sheet of Wassail Snow Storm following the design (see pictures for guidance)

  • Position your picture then attach the pieces of cut-out Snow Storm to various areas on the layout, securing and embellishing with Wassail Chipboard, Buttons and Brads. I also used some flowers and a little mesh netting and lace here to decorate.  Twist the Snow Storm pieces to intertwine with itself in some places (again see picture for guidance). Don't stick it totally down, instead leave it away from the paper beneath.

  • Note how I have "stacked" various embellishments to give a unique 3-dimensional embellishment.

  • Finish of with Wassail letters for the titles

Here is an ensemble of Wassail cards and mini boxes.

Big Tree Card

  • Cover your card in plain Wassail paper.

  • Prick a border all around the card and draw the stitching between the holes.

  • Make a pot for your tree to "stand in" from a scrap of Wassail paper and ink the edges with red Distress or chalk ink.

  • Cut two triangle layers for your tree from Wassail Laurel Leaves paper. Bend them in the middle and attach to your card on layers of foam tape to build up the middle.

  • Trim tree with Wassail Borders from the Element sheet, making sure you keep three aside.

  • Cut out three stars from the same border you sued to trim the tree. Ink edges of one of them with red Distress or chalk ink and glue to the top of the tree. Position the other two in opposite corners of the card (see picture for guidance)

  • Attach two Wassail Flourish stickers to the same corners (see picture for guidance). These are cut from the flourish border from the element sticker sheet.

Small Tree Card

  • Layer two pieces of coordinating plain Wassail paper.

  • Cut a tree triangle from the Wassail Tree Lot paper

  • Draw stitches around the edges of the two squares of papers with a white pen

These little boxes and cards are made from scraps of  Wassail paper and element border stickers. They have been  inked with brown chalk or distress ink and I used a white pen to write the greeting and draw a border.
