Happy 2020 + Christmas 2019 Decor

#kerriegurney #christmas2019

Hi everyone
I'm just popping into wish everyone a very Happy 2020. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got to spend it with those you love.
I have been quiet as I took some time to spend with family over the break.
We had a lovely day with our children and their partners along with my Mum and my Mother in Law.
Now that the kids are all adults we do secret Santa so just one gift each which is perfect. We live in a material world these days are are always gifting ourselves something so I love that we have simplified our Christmas gifting and make it all about spending time together and of course for me decorating and making our house festive and fun.

Here is a  look at my Christmas decorating for 2019. To say I went a little overboard is an understatement but hey I love every minute of decorating and I seriously hardly bought anything new this year but I had bought some pieces in the sales after Christmas in 2018.
This year I had 21 big trees and countless small trees.
 I had loads of bottle brush trees some that I bleached, some that I spray painted gold and lots of ceramic trees

















my decor and trees are from Bed, Bath & Table, TK Maxx, Target Australia, Kmart Australia
 wooden names and deer napkin rings had cut especially for us 
I cut the letters on the bon bons using the We R Memory Keepers Alpha Punch board

I actually hardly bought any new items this year which I am quite proud of myself for creating with what I had ,  I bought the two garlands, the small flocked trees , another tree skirt, the potted arrangements and a few bits for my 3 Tiered Stand 



 Happy Creating

Christmas Wreaths | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #couturecreationsaus #christmasinjuly

Hi Kerrie here
I am super excited to share with you the wreaths I have created for the
Couture Creations Christmas in July Celebration


I just love Christmas decorating and love to have a different them each year.
While I haven't decided what colour theme I will go with this year I thought I would get a start on my Christmas gifts as I love to give a wreath as a gift to special friends.
I have used the Couture Creations Christmas Eve Decorative Dies to embellish some cheap wreaths I purchased.


One can never have too much glitter at Christmastime ...I created my own glitter paper using Couture Creations Double Sided Adhesive


Start off laying down strips of  the 18mm tape onto thin white cardstock, making sure you butt the strips up against each other



nest trim off the excess tape


run the card through making sure you use Quick Release Die Paper otherwise the sticker paper will stick into the die and also use the Metal Adapter Plate so that you get a nice clean cut


release diecut from cardstock, peel off the backing paper and sprinkle of superfine gold glitter


I did the same with the Joy ...adhere diecuts using Turbo Glue Pen it is perfect for adhering diecuts


add diecuts to pinecone wreath, I also added the bird and other folage






for this wreath I tied the bauble to the top of the wreath so that it swings 






 Happy Creating

more Christmas creating

here is a look at some quick Christmas projects I created yesterday, both inexpensive and very simple projects


firstly I pimped my stag head by adding a bow to his neck and a popped him in the middle of a wreath which I hot glued some glittered baubles and a glittery Merry Christmas to, quick easy and I love it.


next up last year I really wanted a Nutcracker and couldn't find one I like that didn't cost a fortune, so this year i started looking early and I came across this set of 2 Nutcrackers but I couldn't find one to suit our colour theme, so what is a girl to do but buy them anyway and spray them all white.
I carefully removed their beards first, then a couple of coats of satin white spray paint, some glitter accents and they were done




Happy Creating Kerrie
