DecoArt Gold Metallic Lustre

I started off by painting each piece with white gesso and leaving it to dry and then i gave it a coat of cream chalky finish paint. 

I then covered each piece in pva glue that had been watered down with a little water. I used the White Wood Decoupage papers and covered each piece. Once it had dried i used the hineycombe stamp from the Tell The Bees Collection to stamp across the sides using black ink. I then cut out the flowers from white card and coloured them with brusho powders. 

I then sanded back any rough and uneven edges and rubbed on some  gold metallic lustre. I then glued the flowers onto the sides of the box and filled in the gaps with sequins.

I covered the inserts with the Old Paper Decoupage papers and glued resin flowers on to the tabs to finish.

Create This Elegant Tell The Bees Shaker Card

Hi all

I have a card made using the Tell The Bess collection.

Cover a 5 x 7 blank card with Tell The Bees Patterened paper.

Cut  a large rectangle out of gold honeycomb paper using a nesting die and glue to the edge of the card. Leave rougthly a 5 mm gap so that the bottom layer firms a frame.

Cut another smaller rectangle out and glue across the card. Add matching ribbon and trim to fit. 

To create a shaker box, take any nesting die of yout choice and take the largest size and place the next size down inside to make a frame. Secure with tape and then cut out one frame from foam and one from paper. If you want a deeper shaker box then cut a few extra foam frames and glue them together.

Seperate the dies and then using the largest size. Cut out a base from patterened paper and a top out of acetate.

Glue the foam frame to the base and leave to dry before adding sequins. Then glue the acetate frame to the top and once dry add the frame cut from pattetened paper. Glue this to the edge of the paper layers.

Finish ofc by cutting out the bees from the toppers sheet and gluing them to the shaker box.

How To Create This Stunning Tag Card

Hi all

Just sharing my project for Whisker Graphics using the lovely Tell The Bees Paper pad. The Gold Divine Twine works really well with this pad too.

Cover a card blank with patterned paper

Cut another piece of pattered paper out and use a boarder punch along the edge before gluing to card.

Cut a doily on half and glue along the center.

Wrap gold twine around the center of the card and fix in place with tape.

Cut out a tag and glue a small chipboard tag to the center

Add a paper flower to the center

 Add a bow to the top of the tag and glue to card.

Add a bit of gold washi tape to the bottom and add a sentiment

GDT Craft Consortium Tell the Bees Shaker Card

Hi all

I am guest designer for Craft Consortium this month and i have made up a shaker card with the Tell the Bees paper pad.

Take two sheets of patterned paper and cover a 5 x 7 card with half of each sheet.

take a sheet of gilded patterned  paper and cut a 6 cm wide strip, Use a punch to create a decorative edge and adhere to card.

Paint a strip of wall tape with gold paint and once dry adhere it to the center of the card along with a few die-cut leaves.

Create a shaker box by die-cutting a small frame using a large and small hexagon nesting die placed inside each other. Cut one from patterned paper and one from craft foam.

Next cut out a base and top using the larger die. Cut one from patterned paper and one from acetate.

Take the piece cut from patterned paper and glue the foam frame to the base with strong glue. Leave this to dry before adding sequins and beads inside.

Seal the box with the acetate and then glue the frame cut from the patterned paper over the top.

Once the shaker box has dried, Adhere to the card and decorate with flowers.

Cut out one of the bees from the topper sheet and add to the edge of the shaker box

Finish with a sentiment.
