Merry Christmas
I have been wanting to make a Christmas City/Town for years
So I finally decided to start and with a Church that I found on SGVcuts.com .
I plan on making more buildings through out the years
As I was making the church I was finding out some great secrets that will help making 3D paper crafting a little easier.
These are some of the favorite Christmas Pattern Papers that I liked this year.
Isn’t this the coolest piece of Pattern Paper
It looks like wood
I made my Base first
I was so excited to cut the velum out to make the windows
I glued the vellum in place with the Best Glue Ever
It can be found here at ScraPerfect
Still cutting out windows!
I found that placing the Pattern Papers on while the piece can lay flat made it easier.
I added different patterns, and colors to make my church building more colorful.
Finally the windows and walls are coming together.
Next it was on to the base of the steeple.
Putting together the Bell Tower
I wanted the snow on the roof to glisten
I edged the Snow cut outs lightly with
Tim Holtz “Tumbled Glass” Distress Ink
by Ranger
You only need a very little amount of
The Best Glue Ever
Just spread a very thin layer of
The Best Glue Ever
on the paper
The smug
Ranger Perfect Pearls
across
I wanted my Red Door to have a little definition and slight pattern to the back door
so I cut the two pieces for the door with red card stock
I colored the frame of the door solid red with
Tim Holtz “Fired Brick” Distress Ink by Ranger
Then blotched the backing of the door with the same ink
to give it a slight patteren
After completing my Christmas Church
I wanted to be able to add to it with more building
and bring them out year after year
It took me years to start because I did not want to put in all that work and have them be destroyed
So I decided to lightly Mod Podge the entire Church
I wanted the Steeple to be about to come off for packing
So I went to Staples for some Velcro and found these
Scotch Restickable Dots
After sticking them on the bottom of my Steeple
I cut out a small piece of my stash of Release Paper
AKA
Address Label Paper
I cut an peace to fit
Now I can place the Steeple in the Church for storing
I took my Church to a UPS Shipping and Packing Store
to get the right size
Perfect
a
12″ x 12″ Box
These are what is inside the Church
I love the Candle affect
Thanks so much for visiting
I hope you enjoyed
