‘tis the season

We are always looking for new ways to create an advent calendar. This rustic design features 2 “back” burlap pockets and hooks, perfect for holding 25 little tags -each with a holiday taskas we make our way to Christmas.

For pockets, use our Burlap or Canvas Pocket Shapes or create your own. Cut two pieces of burlap and 2 slightly larger pieces of cardstock and glue or stitch them together, leaving the top open to create your pocket. Glue onto your surface and they are ready to be filled.

farmhouse advent calendar This versatile advent calendar is fun and easy to make and we think our Farmhouse Christmas Papers add just the right touch. Our surface is our 12”x12” Red Chunky Burlap Stretched.

To create 25 tags, we came up with 25 fun little holiday tasks - from decorating the tree and baking cookies to putting out Santa’s milk and cookies and wrapping the gifts. You choose the theme - ask a question for the family about the holidays: What is the best gift you have ever received? Or, what is your favorite holiday tradition? Or, what is your favorite holiday song? We typed them in Word and printed on Ivory Cardstock and cut them to fit onto our Tall Tags. There are so many fun fonts that come with Word, choose your favorite and hit ‘print’.

Gifting a homemade card is one of the simplest, yet most thoughtful actions during the holiday season. Our papers were designed to let your creativity run wild as you make this year’s holiday cards.

Thinking outside of the box, we are adding a file folder card that is longing to hold the gift of photos this holiday season.

All papers are printed on ivory or kraft papers with black ink.

A touch of color in just the right places makes them really special.

Our Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist, Simply Sheer and Glimmer Glaze offer great color choices to further personalize your cards.

card making

Add accents of ivory & red and ivory & green papers to your holiday cards, along with a bit of burlap we fringed the edge for a scarf fringe look. Burlap available in holiday colors of red, green and ivory.

3 different styles in one pack (2 each) make up the Farmhouse Christmas 4”x6” file folders, which are perfect for giving the gift of photos.

They also hold holiday recipe cards, vintage post cards and fit into our 7gypsies Vintage Photo Crates when it is time to print and organize this year’s holiday photos. Promise you won’t just leave them on your phone or computer this year.

Try something a little different this holiday season with a tall and skinny Christmas card that is sure to stand out. Cut 8” wide x 9” tall and they fit right into our #10 envelopes. Add this watercolor look with Glimmer Mist and a paint brush.

Mixed Media is all the rage.

So why not create mixed media Christmas Cards this year by adding tags, textured paper, burlap, a little paint and some stitches to create this fun ‘Happy Holidays’ card? You choose the paint colors, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind card.

We recommend using 80# or heavier cardstock when creating your base card, so it is ready to receive all that great color.

Tattered Angels Mistable Papers offer a wide range of unique, heavy-duty papers that each react beautifully different when they are misted.

Experiment and choose the one that is perfect for your design.

under the tree

This year our focus is on a rustic look - the theme for many homes this season. We love mixing paper, burlap and canvas together -sometimes with a little glue and sometimes sewn to create gifts and decorations.

farmhouse treeskirt

The Farmhouse Christmas Fabric Panel takes center stage in this burlap treeskirt. We painted plaid onto panels of canvas with Tattered Angels High Impact colors and added hints of red to the printed fabric. Next, we scalloped the edges by gathering the hem. To finish it off, a layered border of natural and black canvas fringe and handpainted red plaid strips. Festive, red canvas flowers make it so pretty, you’ll hate to cover with packages.

farmhouse gifts Unique gift-wrapping ideas are so popular these days and we are excited to bring a range of new bags that are ready to be decorated, filled and gifted to everyone on your list. We love the trend of creating gift wrap that coordinates and has a handmade look and also fits right in with your holiday decor. Fill these burlap bags with handmade gifts, homemade goodies or something special that needs just the right wrap. Add one of our new tags to each gift. The packages now come with 10 of the same tag so you can choose your favorite and create your “tag” of the year for all gifts.

Don’t start your holiday wrapping too late this year. These are great pieces to put under the tree for the entire season.

on the tree

We love to find unique ways to display our wares and this metal display stand we found at a local flea market was the perfect choice to show off these great handmade ornaments. To create your own metal tree, start with a large tin food can, fill it with sand or redi-mix and add tangled wire to form your tree. Fold up the ends to hold your ornaments.

homemade ornaments

Cut, punch, glue, string, gather and sew to create these cute, handmade ornaments. These are also great when added to your gifts, hung on the tree or to fill your little metal tree creation

Our holiday papers mix and match with our kraft and black; green & ivory; and red & ivory papers and look great when added to our flutes, handmade papers and then accented with our ropes and cords, buttons, burlap and other fun details. What a great way to use up bits and pieces of fabric, paper, trims and buttons from other holiday projects.

better not pout banner

This simple little banner heralds an important message for the holidays and deserves a special spot in your home.

Create it by folding over our Canvas Banner, adding 3 buttons to 3 strips of canvas for the tabs. Add a piece of Green Burlap, a strip of Red Burlap and stencil or stamp your holiday message. Add holiday decor in unexpected places, both inside and out - over a window or door, the wood pile, a painted, old red chair or a wheel barrel waiting for spring.

Set the ambiance with elements that make for the perfect Farmhouse Christmas. With simple yet stylish DIY decor, you can fill your house with advent calendars, festive pillows, stylish banners and rustic stockings.

jingle & joy pillow

This no-sew pillow is the perfect gift, but so cute you are going to want to keep it for yourself. Start our 18”x18” burlap pillow and two strips of burlap with the stamped or stenciled message ‘joy’ & ‘jingle’. Glue into place with Beacon’s 3-in-1 glue and add a button detail. A circle was cut from our Farmhouse Christmas Fabric Panel and painted with Tattered Angels Chalkboard Paints and glued where the fabrics meet. Use Glimmer Glaze to paint stitching.

handmade stockings

These homespun stockings are sure to look amazing hanging on your mantle ‘til Santa comes.

Decorate our Traditional Stocking (round toe) or Jester Stocking (pointed toe) with a piece of Farmhouse Christmas paper stitched to the front.

Add strips of burlap, tags and our new candy cane charms along the top to make it special.

Keep it simple with our Vintage Stocking by stamping a torn strip of canvas with a name or holiday message .

(below) Layer strips of colored burlap to stripe your stocking.

iced topped Christmas cookies Consider adding cut pieces of printed cardstock papers to the bottom of serving dishes to add a handmade touch. 12”x12” is a great size when fitting most platters and trays.
