Holiday Crafting with May Flaum: 25th & Pine Style!
Hi All! May Flaum here. I’m back with some more holiday craftiness – today I’m playing with BasicGrey 25th and Pine! I just love how they’ve got traditional Christmas colors, lots of fun accents, and patterns I am loving not just for my scrapbook, but on my cards, tags and more.
Editors note: For even more fun add some of your favorite dies into these designs! Happy Die-Cember™!!
First up, I made this simple card with the wood veneer joy tag in the kit. I love that a bit of stickles brings dimension and sparkle in a subtle way. Then as long as everything was out, I figured I’d decorate a package!
I just love using scraps of paper (here I used a 2″ strip of patterned paper), some twine, and of course some wood veneers as well as a tag from the 25th and Pine line to accent my brown paper package.
Here’s a tip – don’t worry if your strip of paper doesn’t fit all the way around! Either use two pieces of paper, or just cover up the gap as I did here. I hope you’ve enjoyed my quick ideas here today! Blending my crafty stash with my holiday to-do list is always such fun.
gorgeous!
Love the card and the fun package!
I love the card with the hanging wood pendant! I follow the blog by email.
I love using up my scraps also! I don’t feel so bad when I add to my paper stash!! Lol

May, you’ve made me want to dress up a brown paper package. Love your coordinating card, too.
So fabulous!
This year I started to hand create tags and this is a great way of showing more inspiration on how to!

I love this Basic Grey collection … I love the card and wrap.
Can’t choose a favorite between the card and the package. Both are so very lovely, and each is very artistic and a gift in and of itself! Thanks for sharing!
