Holiday Celebrations - Everything but cards!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

 

 

 

 

This is our final week of the Dreamweaver November challenge...Holiday Celebrations, also know as, Anything But A Card! This has been a big step outside the box.  I find cards come easy, but coming up with ideas for the decorating my new home and for gifts has been a wonderful adventure.

This week I am still keeping it simple again.  I made a decorative tree with Dreamweaver Snowflakes and Beacon Adhesives.

First cut three semi circles from cardstock.  Each slightly smaller than the last.  Paste two snowflakes on the two larger pieces and one on the smallest with Pearlescent paste.  Sprinkle a soft blue glitter over them and let dry.

Next attach pearls to each tier with Beacon Gem-Tac, let dry.

Next using Beacon 3-in-1 Craft Glue (There is nothing this glue can't do!  It's my new best friend), glue the ends of the two largest pieces and the full edge of the smaller piece. 

Finally assemble.  I attached mine to a papertowel tube.  My friends little girls saw it and wanted to make their own.  It was great fun!! 

Hope you enjoyed this months creations, make sure to see the incredible creations of the rest of this weeks group!

This is also our first posting day featuring our new monthly challenge, "Holiday Celebrations", and for the entire month we will be demonstrating ways to use Beacon Adhesives' entire line of products with Dreamweaver to create special projects in home decor and gifts of love. Here's mine:

I recently purchased a home.  In trying to decorate on a budget, I have found my ideas don't match my pocketbook!

I've been looking for a square red tissue cover for the bathroom.  I can't find anything less than $30 (budget $7.50).  So I decided to make one.

Cut 5 pcs of  chipboard 5 1/2" square each.  Cut 5 pieces of red paper; 4 - 5 1/2" x 5" & 1 - 5 1/2" square.

Using Beacon  3-in-1, Zip Dry and Gem-Tac we'll put it all together.

 

Cut hole in one square for tissues to come through.

Glue box sides together with 3-in-1 glue.

 

Using the three reindeer stencil LL467 Three Deer. 

 

 Paste in gold on each side panel.

Score top 1/4" on each edge.  Score sides 1/4" on one side.

Using Zip Dry adhear top first, folding the edges over the top.  Attach sides the same way.

 

Finally using Gem-Tac, draw squiggles over top and drip off sides.  Cover with glitter.

 

Set over top of tissue box and .......................

 

Tah - Dah!!!!  You have a custom Tissue Box cover.

 

Make sure you contine through the rest for more creative ideas.

This is also our first posting day featuring our new monthly challenge, "Holiday Celebrations", and for the entire month we will be demonstrating ways to use Beacon Adhesives' entire line of products with Dreamweaver to create special projects in home decor and gifts of love. Here's mine:

I decided to make a note pad holder.  I started with chipboard and the Beacon 3-in-1 Craft Glue.  Cut chipboard to the size needed.  Glue the binding chipboard to back piece of chipboard.  Using book cloth spread the 3-in-1 Craft glue over the book cloth.  Cover spine and a portion of the front and back of book.

 

Emboss front paper cover with holiday stencil.  I used LL468 ornaments.  Stencil gold pigment ink over image.

  Spread Beacon 3-in-1 Craft Glue over the back of the front paper and back paper.  Butt up against book cloth press flat.  Let dry.  Miter corners and spread Beacon 3-in-1 Craft Glue over back of paper.  Fold over.  Glue strip of ribbon over seam in front and back.

 

Using Distress Paint add polka dots to book cloth and back paper cover.  Let dry.  I also covered the top of the note pad.

 

  Adhere a piece of ribbon in the inside front cover and back covers.  Line the book with book cloth that has 3-in-1 glue over the back side.

 

Tape back of note pad and attach inside.  Tie ribbon and your gift is ready for giving!
