Mercury Glass Holiday Gift Card Holders

Being on the DCWV Guest Designer Team is just incredible. 

I get to work with some of the most incredible new products. 

In my latest shipment, I received this gorgeous DCWV Mercury Glass Paper. It comes with 4 different shades.

The sheets of paper are thick, durable and perfectly metallic.

...and of course they made my Holiday Gift Card Holders absolutely magnificent!

For the back of the card, I spray painted a chipboard frame and hot glued a cut piece of the DCWV Insta Photo Fun plastic sheet. It made a perfect pocket for the gift card.

I also tied on a Blue Moon Bead Jingle Bell Charm.

These glittery flowers from the Dollar Tree look amazing on the front of the card, and matched the Mercury Glass paper perfectly.

Very easy to make, and add so much to the gift!

Deer Silhouette Home Decor

Have you wanted to create a home decor project, that seems a bit larger scale than normal? And you just can't find the right supplies to make it, without piecing together paper, and having seams in your project?

Well DCWV has heard your request and created larger stacks.

For my latest project I used the DCWV Project Basics: 24"x36" Silver Glitzy Glitter Sheet. Yes, that is 3 feet of amazing silver glitter!!

I have been in love with the 'deer silhouette' for a while now, but thought now is the perfect time to custom make some decor of my own. Now that I have larger scale paper to work with. Of course, I used some old pallet wood. I just love the look of it after staining it. I don't even sand it down or clean it up. This is raw, dirty, used pallet wood!!

In the DCWV DIY Project Wreath Stack, there are cardboard corrugate sheets. I used one of these as the backing for the deer. Just to give it a little more stability.

I found an image of the deer silhouette online, and printed it out. Traced it on to the corrugate, cut it out and sprayed it metallic silver.

I then traced it onto the DCWV Silver Sheet and cut that out.

I secured them together, and then to the wood.

The Deer Silhouette Decor fits perfectly into my new Winter Season home decor theme. It accents my handmade metallic silver Christmas Trees and my recent Faux Tin SNOW Blocks project, perfectly!

If you love these Wood Trees, head over to my Etsy to order!

Bring on Winter!

And... I mean it, please. We are still flooded with heat here in Southern California! We want Winter!

Wrap Gifts with DCWV Paper!

Merry Christmas!!

If you are rushing to get your gifts wrapped, and don't want to go out to the store one more time, and buy wrapping paper... just use some of the beautiful DCWV paper!

With these gifts, I used 2 sheets each, and added a couple strips of contrast ribbon around the paper seam. Add a DCWV Christmas Tag and a bow.

Easy.

RePurposed Holiday Gift Box

Happy Holidays!!

The countdown to Christmas is in full swing.. with only a few days left!

What is more meaningful then the gift itself? Well the thought of course!! But next up... the packaging. Everyone loves a custom, handmade package to show just how much thought was put into the art of giving.

Grab your DCWV Holiday Glitzy Glitter Stack and Winter In the Woods Stack. Find a brown ink pad, some ModPodge, scissors and a random box that might be just the right size.

I chose this GoPro box. I loved the size and the little insert.

Start measuring, cutting, ModPodge-ing..

Pretty soon you will have the perfect custom gift box to hold your thoughtful Holiday Gift!
