Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
Thank you for joining us for the Let It Snow Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
Christmas will soon be here and we thought it would be nice to dedicate a challenge to think about gifts. Handmade gifts are always well received, so maybe you would like to make someone something special, or you can make something to be used for the wrapping, tag, bag, box, paper etc.
Gift It
Also today Jo aka Let's Art Journal is with us as a Designer Spotlight for the month of November! HERE you can see his beautiful BLOG!
Chi mi segue da qualche tempo forse saprà che ogni anno a Natale preparo un piccolo regalo hand made per la mia migliore amica! Eccovi quello che ho preparato quest'anno, una piccola vignette box, spero vi sia utile il tutorial che troverete sotto!
Those who follow me for some time maybe know that every year at Christmas I prepare a small hand-made gift for my best friend! Here is what I have prepared this year, a small vignette box, I hope the tutorial that you will find below be useful!!
Per prima cosa ho preparato l'interno della Vignette box tagliando un foglio di Heavystock a misura e creando la parte stellata con una fustella di Tim Holtz e poi colorando il mio cielo con Distress inks.
First I prepared the inside of the Vignette box by cutting a sheet of Heavystock in the right size and creating the starry part with a die by Tim Holtz and then coloring my sky with Distress inks.
Ho inserito nel paesaggio delle dune tagliate con al fustella della splendida auto anni 50 di Tim . Ho scelto un colore Kraft simile alla sabbia e per dare tridimensionalità ho usato il biadesivo con spessore.
I inserted into the landscape the dunes cut with a Tim's die that you can see in the picture (complete materials list below). I chose a Kraft color similar to sand and to give three-dimensionality I used thick double-sided adhesive tape.
Per completare il paesaggio la splendida fustella dei Re Magi, tagliata con un cartoncino scuro evidenziando i bordi con la cera di prima marketing Vintage Gold. Sotto al cielo stellato e per tagliare la stella ho usato un foglio di cartoncino glitterato nel colore oro.
To complete the landscape, the fabulous die Wise Men, cut with a dark cardstock and highlighting their edges with Prima marketing Wax Vintage Gold. Under the starry sky and to cut the star I used a sheet of glitter cardstock color gold.
Per creare una sottile cornice nelle stesso cartoncino scuro, ho utilizzato una delle fustelle stacked Label e dopo aver colorato la Vignette box con Ground espresso Distress paint ho assemblato tutti i pezzi.
Per rifinire ho preparato un nastro colorato con Distress stain spray e alterato le parti metalliche con la stessa cera, aggiungendo anche un tocco di blu con il colore Mystic Turquoise.
La parola Peace mi sembrava il giusto tocco finale!
To create a thin frame in the same dark cardboard I used one of the stacked label dies and after having colored my Vignette box with Ground espresso Distress paint I assembled all the pieces.
To finish, I prepared a ribbon that I colored with Distress stain spray and altered the metal parts with the same wax, adding a touch of blue with the color Mystic Turquoise.
The word Peace seemed to me the right finishing touch!

RispondiEliminathe perfect background for this Thinlit! I love how you added the stars on the box too!!
RispondiEliminaI can't imagine a better way to showcase the wise men die--this is just beautiful. The gold with the deep blue, the textures and the shadow box vignette--this will be a gift to cherish for a lifetime!
RispondiEliminathis is absolutely fabulous!!! I love it.
RispondiEliminaA truly stunning piece of Festive art, those blues and golds are delicious together. Love how you have used the die to change the shape of the front frame, genius. A beautiful piece that can be brought out year after year.
RispondiEliminaThank you so much for sharing this amazing creation.
Creative Wishes Tracey
Such a gorgeous make for the holiday season, Barbara!! I love the seeming simplicity of the design, but there is so much more when you look closely! Beautiful!! hugs, Maura
RispondiEliminaWow, what a stunning gift! The festive scene looks so pretty and the dark blue, browns and gold colour palette is perfect - amazing 😁. I'm sure that your friend will love it too! It's been a pleasure joining you in the Designer Spotlight over at Simon Says Stamp this month, thanks so much! J 😊 x
RispondiEliminaSuch a wonderful gift Barbara! I love all the gold and how you used the snow die to make desert hills in the background. The bow is super pretty too.
RispondiEliminaHello!! I just love your project. I have purchased this die and was making my cards when I saw your project. I just love the gold on the edges of the wise men, making it look like the star is shining on them. I incorporated that into my cards. Here is a link to my card.
