Merry Mercantile: Holiday Album Pages with JBS

Christmas may be behind us, but there's still lots of holiday documentation to be done! Using the scraps from the December JBS Mercantile Papercrafting and Antiquarian kits as well as some Jenni Bowlin Studio accents, I added a few more pages to my holiday album. 

I trimmed a series of 2" x 2" squares from the papers in the kits, and embellished them in various ways, using wood veneer and rhinestone stars...

 a JBS exclusive star stamp, a Santa Claus ticket stub, a gold foil accent...

rub-on stars,  Bingo numbers, and a stencil and spray ink.

This album is the perfect place to incorporate paper scraps and to share the little treasures that I might otherwise end up hoarding.

Here's hoping you had a wonderful Christmas, and that you have a very happy new year! All the best to you and yours! 

Digital (and Hybrid) Ideas for Christmas from Chantalle!

Chantalle McDaniel has used our digital and traditional supplies for some quick wrapping ideas. Not only is the digital kit she used on sale today, but most ALL JBS physical product is on sale through the 31st also!  Let's here from Chantalle:

If you are looking for a quick idea for your festive table or some super fast, custom gift wrap, look no further than the brilliant Vintage Christmas 2 collection, which is on sale right now.

Gift wrap is so easy to create and sure to impress. I simply printed off A4 sheets (at full bleed if your printer has that setting) of the prints available in the collection.

I have covered some kraft rolls from a DIY cracker kit in my printed paper. Stuff with some sweets and a joke and they will be a hit at your Christmas get together.

Custom gift wrap adds a special touch to presents.

I’ve teamed my wrapping with some JBS Rub-ons, some twine and ribbon as well as a Vintage Christmas tag and JBS feather tag.

Materials used:

Digital:

JBS Vintage Christmas 2
