Decoupage Bottle using Bliss Paper Pack by Tanvi

Hello Crafty Souls!
 Its summer in India & am sure most of us are trying to beat the heat by staying indoors. The Papericious "BLISS" pack with its soft soothing pastels is sure to you down cool! 😃
Before I share my project, a little about the papers - This pack contains twenty four 12x12 inch single sided papers, in 12 different coordinating designs, acid and lignin free & Made in India and is priced at ₹595/-

This pack is exclusively designed for Gulati Emporium & you can purchase from them - https://www.instagram.com/gulati_emporium/

My inspiration today is a decoupage bottle using one of the geometric designs from this pack.

Now, if you have this pack or the Gilded Onyx papers, you will wonder how I managed to used these 220gsm papers on a curved surface!

When I received these in my DT kit, I so wanted to use them to decoupage & placed a sheet on the bottle on my work space. It looked absolutely classy & elegant, I was wondering how to make this possible! Necessity is the Mother of taking Chances said Mark Twain & why not 😇 ! I sprayed some water on the back of the paper & slowly with a steady hand separated the layers & was overjoyed to find the top foiled layer peel.

 OMG I soon had a rice paper like sheet ready to be used on the bottle!
Paint the bottle using Chalk Paint - Duck Egg. Trim the paper to size &  decoupage  it on the bottle.
I also gilded the rest of the surface with gold foil, perfect for the foiled sheets!
Hope you like this little hack & will use these to decoupage!

Good bye until my next post!
Cheers,

Christmas Diorama with tutorial of Base - Winter Rimes Paper Pack

Hello people.

Chirali this side with a new project using newly released Papericious papers and chipboards. And the name says it all. Yes, it's a Christmas diorama. When it comes to winter, Christmas is the first thing that comes in mind. I have a quick photo tutorial for base too.

So here is what I have created:


Let's start with the tutorial:



Take two papers of 7"x2.5" scoring them at 0.5" at 2.5" side and 0.5" at 7" side twice. (Check below image)


Cut the same as shown in image.



And you will end up with making such square pillar.


I have taken a 12"x12" wide a thick cardboard, put a cut at 5" softly, folded it and put them stand with sticking a paper on the back at folding edge.

 I adhered base papers from winter rimes paper pack.


I have taken a 4"x6" white paper and 2"x5" colour paper.


Adhered white one in the center of base and coloured one in the center of white paper. I have taken 4 0.5" stripes of colour paper (as shown in image) and sticked them to the colour paper to make a door. I had a black colour small round cornered scrap paper on my desk so used it as a handle. You can use anything.



Take one stripe of 6"x1.5" and two stripes of 6"x2", scoring the later two at 0.5" at 2" side and at 3" (to make the triangle) at 6". Then score two corner as shown in image to make the triangle and stick the 0.5" part with first stripe.

To cover the triangle, take a paper of 2"x7" and glue it on the base we have made above, one side edge to edge and other side a bit outer than the triangle. (Sorry, I could not click a picture of it but you can check the below image)



Put the whole triangle base on two pillars we have made and stick them above the door.

I have given border to the white part with 1/8" stripes and have made partitions with such stripes too.



Here is my snow fall. ;) 
I have used whole tin of modelling paste to make a snow. I have put some tissues to make a snow pile. I have taken a lamp post chipboard, coloured it eith duck egg chalk paint and put it on the snow. The best thing was I did not have to stick anything till modelling paste was wet. I just put it at the places.


I took a christmas tree 3d chipboard, painted it in green and added christmas garland on it.



I added a fence, christmas tree, pine cones, changed the triangle's paper, changed the place of lamp post (I made changed a lot times in this project ;)), so many fussy cut lamps and pine cones and grass from the pack, a floral wrath on the door and some snow and garland on the triangle.


So this is the final project. I added a girl, some frills on pillars and fence, a snow man, flowers and bird on roof, pots on the entrance, a 3d christmas ornament on extreme left, made a stone path, added frosting powder on snow using soft gloss gel etc etc.


Look from a bit upper angle to make a snow pile look.

So here are lots of closeup images.











How can I forget to add lights in it when it's for Christmas?

Have a look:





Ahh!! A photo heavy post! ;)

Unique Gift Boxes + Tutorial

Hello people.

Chirali here with a new post showing how to turn die cut boxes in a unique gift boxes. This is so much of a fun way to decorate these die cut boxes. I have a tutorial of two of such boxes. 

So here we go!! 


From left to right : Cake Pie Box, Popcorrn Box, Circle Flap Favor Box!

Popcorn Box


First of all, draw an image of one side of popcorn box, by putting a folded one side of die cut, on a back side of patterned paper. Do it 4 times.


Cut them from a bit inside than drawn image to make the base box appear as a border. 


Take a cardboard piece of 0.5", wrap it with a complementing patterned paper, do it thrice more and stick the balloon as shown in the image.


You will have the stripes visible inside the box so I repeated the first step of drawing and cutting on a blank white paper and added as a cover of stripes inside the box.

Now decorate the box as you like.

Mine is here, a unicorn themed one:



Ears and eyes are hand drawn and cut. Ears have been painted with chalk paint.


These are homemade chocolates just to show an example.

Circle Flap Favor Box

I personally love this box due to it's closure style. I wanted to make it a cuter one. Balloon has been used so now what to do?

So I have made it a cloudy one.

Have a look to the quick tutorial first:


Cut the shapes as per measurements and stick the same. If you do not have circle cutter, you can do the same thing as of popcorn box, draw and cut from little inside.


Left image shows how simply you can assemble the box. You get the box with ready tacky tape. And to give you idea about how to close this, right image will do the needful.


Complete box!! You will find a little space in the center so I decided to make clouds hanged on a small circle. 


To make the clouds, 4 cloud die cuts, 2 on front side of PP, 2 on back side so that clouds can be made as shown in below image.


Sorry for now having a tutorial on the cloud thing. 

To make such cloud, fold all the four die cuts in half and stick them together with patterned size visible outer side.

I took an aluminium ring, wrapped it with paper, make holes at almost equal distance, hanged louds with woolen white thread and decorate ring with flowers and a small tag.

To make this ring stand, I have taken a strong wired four pipe cleaners, covered with a stiff thread and made them stand on a ribbon role base.



Cake Pie Box


Above ones were the stylish and unique ones.  These boxes are beautiful in a simple way too. Simply cut and adhered patterned papers and a simple decoration which can also make a box beautiful.

I hope you like it. Do let me know if any queries are there.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
Chirali. :)
