Decorative Wine Boxes

I recently picked up these paper mache wine boxes on a whim at Hobby Lobby. I was not sure how I would decorate them. I was thinking what great gifts these would make for Christmas and/or New Years with a bottle of wine or champagne. It's never to early to think about the holidays and avoid the stress later.

When I sat down to decorate them. I remembered I had this big roll of paintable embossed wall paper I had picked up at Home depot years ago for another project -

it was perfect for the look I was going for.

 

I measured out my boxes and cut my paper pieces a couple of times (I forgot to - measured twice cut once). Good thing I have a big roll of this paper.

 

Next I watered down some Tacky glue I had on hand so that I could brush it on quickly and easily attach the paper. Working one piece at a time until the entire boxes were covered. Then I let dry completely before sanding the edges smooth.

 

Here is what they looked like before painting them.

 

 

I mixed acrylic paint that I had to get my desired color and tested it out on some scraps of the embossed paper before painting the boxes.

 

Once that paint was dry I antiqued this one by rubbing watered down

brown paint over it with a wet towel.

Then I rubbed a lighter color of paint over the high parts to highlight it

using a dry towel and very little paint followed by a spray of Matt clear coat. 

 

For this red one I used a black gel stain to antique it which gives it a satin finish and eliminates the need for a clear protective coat.

 

Then for the focal points - I went to work with paper and ink to create a label and tag to adorn them.

A trip to JoAnn's to find cording to replace the paper handles and voila! They are ready for gifting.

Framed Art - Crown

I just had to make another framed stamped art piece with this crown stamp after how my Blue Bird Picture turned out.



I followed the same steps only using my Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine to cut the oval from 4 layers of Very Vanilla Card Stock to give it the added dimension.



I was able to remove the glass from the frame this time - placing it behind my art work.

I added Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the crown for extra Bling!  - Love these! 



 

 

I love the Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla and Basic Black color combo.

Blue Bird Picture

This bird stamp is a favorite of mine so when I decided to make a framed piece this was perfect.

 I had picked up the frame at Hobby Lobby a while back.

 

First I stamped the images on Watercolor Paper with StazOn ink and then water colored with Baja Breeze, Bashful Blue, Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette and Daffodil Delight ink, then sponged with Sahara Sand Ink and spattered with Soft Suede and Baja Breeze Ink using a Color Spritzer tool.

I cut a piece of On Board (chip board) the same size to add more dimension to my project. I used Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to attach the layers.

I added some Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details to the birds wings to give them shimmer and also ran it around the outside to cover the exposed edges of the On Board Chip Board.

I used the Ribbon Punch to create an edge with Basic Black Card Stock.



 A bow tied from Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon (another personal fav) attached with a Glue Dot is the finishing touch.



The glass was glued into the frame so I had to get creative here - 3-D. I added a 5"X7" piece of Baja Breeze Card Stock inside the frame and then attached my art piece to the front of the glass using Glue Dots.

I'm loving how it turned out!
