Hello, Bob n Betty buddies!

Heena here from bloomingpaperbuds.com, Today I’m sharing my second post on the blog that is a decoupaged mdf box using the decoupage speciality paper from the Roseate collection.

Here I have used a 6 by 4 MDF box and covered it fully with the Decoupage paper. I am not a decoupage artist and I am not familiar with all the painting and pasting techniques of Decoupage but with these decoupage papers, you don’t really have to work hard. Anybody can Decoupage! And I enjoy doing it once in a while!

On the Inside, I have pasted the image that is fussy cut from the Decoupatch rice paper.

No Project of mine is complete without some flowers, so I created some coordinating Foamiran flowers for the top.

I hope you liked my creation, Thank you for stopping by!

Decoupage Bottle by Tanvi, featuring DecoPatch Papers

Hello crafty souls!

This is Tanvi, back with my love – DECOUPAGE & DECOPATCH PAPERS.

These papers are very thin & blend easily into the background to give a seamless finish. I wanted to use these papers on a curved surface like a bottle. The papers are 50gsm, just perfect for use on such surfaces too. I fussy cut the gorgeous lady (Floral Adornments) & decoupaged her over on the BIRDS & BUTTERFLIES background paper. Do you see how easily she blends over the background!

For some dimension I covered the lady with glossy accents & the glass like look was hard to capture on camera.

I covered the neck of the bottle with crackle paste & once dry rubbed metallique wax paste for a subtle metallic sheen.

Added some dangling resin embellishments too –

You can grab these papers from any of our Sales Buddies & share your gorgeous creations using Bob n Betty papers with us on our facebook group Bob n Betty Buddies.

Until my next post…….happy crafting

A Beach Theme Box designed by Jaanhvi Hinduja

Hello everyone!

Its so pleasing to see the little craft community blooming with budding artists and great newer craft supplies being made available to us by so many like-minded suppliers. I am personally thrilled to have the new decoupage specialty papers released by Bob n Betty in a masculine theme – ‘Knighthood’. These papers have lovely rustic backgrounds and very macho elements, which make them perfect for projects related to men gifting and decor. However, I have a personal inclination towards articles, ideas or themes which can be used with versatility. And.. Here I go..with my take on one of the most beautiful designs from this collection which is rather nautical.

With destinations parties and weddings having theme based decor, attire and gifting, getting popular nowadays, I decided to make an invitation cum favour box in a rustic beach theme.

I chose a wooden box with a curved lid as the base of the project to make it look like a treasure chest. Next, I removed all hardware of the box and lightly sanded and cleaned it nicely. For the base, i gave two coats of dark brown chalk paint. After it dried completely, i applied petroleum jelly on the edges. Then, I mixed blue and green chalk paint to get a tealish blue shade and gave a nice two coats. Its important that each coat dries completely before the second coat is applied. Next, I took a fine grit sand paper and lightly sanded the edges of the box. This gave me a very distressed look – perfectly what I wanted. I repeated the process for the inside lid too. The outer lid of the box has been decoupaged. As the lid was curved i moistened the paper slightly before sticking it, to get it to fold easily and creaselessly.

Finally, i distressed the box further with antiquing wax to give it an old worn out look. The box has been further decorated with some sea shells and a rustic anchor to give it some interest.
