Decoupage trays - Birds series

Hello Everyone!

A quick post today to share a few decoupage trays - the bird series as I call them.

For the first one I have used decoupage papers from BobNBetty - Exotic Birds.

I loved the beautiful print, so many layers & textures to it!

The second tray also uses a design from the Exotic Birds collection. Used chalk paints & the conventional decoupage technique on the sides of the tray for the band/striped look to enhance the shabby pattern.

For the last one in the series I have used rice paper. The pattern had a gorgeous doily print & I tried to extend the same by stenciling & totally loved the effect. To add some more texture, splattered some acrylic paint randomly in the background.

Faceted Box

 Sharing  a faceted box I made for my DT post for Rinea.

While this may look a bit complicated to make, it is super easy using the envelope punch board. Also by varyinhg the size of the card stock, various sizes can be made in a jiffy.

I am amazed how easily you can put this together with just a little of burnishing & folding. I used the Rinea star struck foiled papers from the Love Foiled Paper Variety Pack & I love the black & red colors. 

This makes a perfect favor box for all occasions & I'm sure will be making many more of these soon.
