Holiday DT projects KL

Design team member KL created a cute Rudolph holiday collage along with a printable PDF so you can create one for yourself. You will need a current version of Adobe Acrobat in order to download & print the pdf, this comes standard with most computer operating systems.

I adore the holidays and when creating holiday projects i love incorporating traditional holiday images with my whimsical vintage style. A few weeks ago I came across this incredible cardboard deer head while shopping online and thought I could re-invent their concept for a cute Rudolph collage using Hambly and some vintage elements.

For my project I used the following Hambly items; Houndstooth paper, Little Circles paper, Christmas Kraft stickers. I also used a vintage cabinet card frame & a scrap piece of antique ledger paper.

Step 1 : To being you will need to download the pdf I created with the three stacked Rudolph images {here}.

Step 2 : After you have downloaded your pdf cut a piece of your Hambly Screenprints paper to 8.5" x 11" and then print the pdf image onto the back of the printed paper so you can hand-cut all three images without the stencil lines showing {i printed onto the wrong side which led to me needing to be careful about cutting the print lines off}. You could also print the template onto a piece of plain paper and use the Overlays for your pattern as well.

Step 3 : Stack all three of your hand-cut Rudolph images onto each other using foam adhesive squares or pop dots. I then mounted my Rudolph onto a vintage cabinet card. I filled the empty cabinet card frame with a piece of the houndstooth paper that was cut to size.

Step 4 : To finish i added snowflakes from the Christmas kraft stickers and a red felt nose. Then i used my vintage typewriter to type "Then all the reindeer loved him" onto a vintage scrap piece of ledger paper, stitched the ledger paper onto the bottom of my card and used a vintage flower frog spike to hold the little collage.
