whimsical wednesdays home for the holidays

happy wednesday :) this week over at WW  our fun  challenge is to create a christmas or  winter themed home decor project.  be sure to check out the awesome projects the rest of the dt ladies have come up with i tell ya im amazed by their creativity every week. 

 our sponsor this week once again is our ever generous NANNE who is offering up some websters scrap supplies. how sweet eh!  

ive made a couple of things  so this is going to be a bit picture heavy :)

for this super easy and inexpensive home decoration  i took a small grapevine wreath ( about 50 cents at michaels) and added some plastic clear facets , pearls and paper flowers and punched some branches from a MS punch.

these facets were clear, to color them i added them to a plastic baggie added a couple drops of alcohol inks, smooshed them around a bit  let them dry and waahoo, gorgeous color :)  i added some glitz to the branches using my viva decor glitter writer. what i like about this compared to stickles is the gel liner dries raised where stickles dry flat.

i added some chunky glitter to the flowers but im not sure you can see that from this photo, in the real its pretty just a bit of sparkle. 

i covered a 4 inch coaster with paper, behind it i attached some lace that i distressed a little with distress stain.  for the candle i used my cricut and joys of the season cartridge. i applied viva decor glass effects over it. for the berries i used cloud 9 raindots. the stamp is from stepahnies set called snow much fun. you can see the entire set plus other sets ~>here<~

 

for my next projects i made these fantastic treat boxes that i cased from jayne over at jaynes designs.for the exact instructions  head on over to her blog you will see a link up to her boxes on her side bar. just click on the pic and it will take you right to them.  be sure to check out her entire blog though , youre jaw will just *hit~ the~ floor* she is soooo talented! thank you so much jayne for your inspiration and allowing me to copy and post the cutest boxes ever! 

                                 arent these just fantastic! jaynes are way cuter...but i like mine too :)
                                                              
                                                                first heres santa

                        see that sweet little stamp its from the snow much fun set too. in fact all the   stamps on todays projects are stephanies.

a bit blurry huh...sorry about that. i love that her stamps are clear type so you can shape them some.  i colored the leaves in with marker then added viva decor pearl pen for berries. i added a tad bit of liquid applique ( didnt heat it) to the tops of the marshmallows.

                                                  the next one is a cute lil reindeer

 

 and last but not least  mr snowman and his flakey friend ( from snow much fun stamp set) 

i added some chunky glitter to him and stickles to little flakey

                                             another stamp from the let it snow set
