Simon Says - Trees

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

TREES

I created Christmas home decor projects to gift to friends using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Vignette Boxes covered with Christmas KraftStock Sparkle paper and decorated with Christmas 2024 Baseboards and Transparencies, 2024 Typography, Woodland Tree Lot, Christmas Confections, Baubles Findings, with lots of  Distress Texture Paste Opague dusted with Distress Rock Candy Glitter.

I trimmed Tim Holtz/Ideaology Christmas KraftStock Sparkle paper to fit the front and sides on one of the Idea-ology Vignette Boxes and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium. 

On the second box, I fixed the paper to all the sides, painted the front with Faded Jeans Distress Paint and fixed Christmas Collage Paper on top once the paint had dried.

I added Idea-ology 2024 Typography letters to the first box using a hot glue gun.

I applied a coat of Distress Collage Medium to a window from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Christmas Baseboards and Transparencies and once dry, rubbed Hickory Smoke Distress Crayon over the surface to give it a more grungy look.

I applied Distress Texture Paste Opaque using a palette knife and sprinkled with Distress Rock Candy Glitter.

I fixed a snowfall transparency behind the window and fixed on the front of the second box.

I sprayed Tim Holtz/|Idea-ology Woodland Lot Trees and Woodlands Garland with Rustic Wilderness Distress Spray Stain.

I applied a generous layer of Distress Texture Paste Opaque to the tops of both boxes and sprinkled with Distress Rock Candy Glitter. I added the trees, decorated with Idea-ology Christmas Droplets, Baubles Findings with their glittery overcoat, pine cones, Christmas Confections and wooden cubes from my stash painted with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Paint and tied up with gold sparkle thread to the first box using my hot glue gun.

I repeated on the second box, adding Idea-ology Typography, an Idea-ology Salvaged Deer, painted with Sterling Foundry Wax and heat set and an Idea-ology Christmas Flair button.
