Cabinet of Curios

    I have been working hard over the last few days on a piece i have wanted to do for a while. A little cabinet of curios.
     I have used the Cutting Craftorium Caraftroom Secrets usb to cut the pieces to make the cabinet.
        I cut all of rhe pieces from greyboard. For each piece i cut 3 layers and then glued them together to make a stronger piece. Doing this makes a piece with a similar density to MDF.
      I chose this paper to decorate the box with.
       I printed this paper from the Imagination Crafts Vol. 2 usb. It is one of the printable rice papers from The Gothic Kingdom Collection. I did not print it onto rice paper, I used super smooth paper. I love Imagination Crafts, everything they do is stunning. Having their products on a usb is a great idea. Its an unlimited source of some of my favorite products.
     I covered the greyboard pieces in the paper. I could have cut the paper pieces from the files I used to cut the greyboard sections but I decided not to do that. What I did was I glued the greyboard sections onto the paper making sure it was in exactly the section of pattern I wanted. Next I roughly cut around the pieces. When the glue was dry I used a sanding block to remove the excess paper. This gives a neat but slightly distressed edge which i love.
       Next i started to assemble the unit.

     I am really pleased with how this lovely little unit has turned out. All I did after it was together was add some fabric roses and a little bit of gold guilding wax.
      Now I just need to sort out some little curios I want to display.

Christmas Wreath Decoration.

I made this Wreath using files from a Carnation crafts Christmas usb. It was really easy to make. It comes with all of the mats and layers you need as well as all of the decoupage. There are 3 mat layers. I cut two base layers in black, a middle layer in gold and the top layer in black. I cut two base layers because I have put a ribbon loop at the top so you can hang the finished Wreath up. I simply held the ribbon in place with a piece of tape and then sandwiched it between the two black base layers. Then I added the gold layer and finally the black top layer. Next was the decoupage. I printed the decoupage onto 128gsm Navigator paper. This is my go to paper. The print quality is exellent. I get mine in bulk from amazon but if you have a Wilko nearby they sell it as well. I glued the base layer in place flat. Then I added the decoupage pieces using silicone glue. I shaped the pieces to give a better effect by just gently moulding the pieces with my fingers. The sentiment was cut from ...
