Holiday Vignette Box


Hello everyone! I love making shadowboxes of all shapes and sizes. They are perfect for decorating your home for the holidays and gifting to family and friends. Today, I will be making a simple Vignette Box using Tim Holtz’s Idea-Ology Christmas Line.
                                                                   
                                                                                                                  Supplies


Supply List

1- Tim Holtz Vignette Box (Large)
2- Tim Holtz Finial Pieces 
1-Tim Holtz Christmas Cabinet Card Frame
1- Tim Holtz Adornment Souvenir Camera
1- Tim Holtz Adornments Stars
3- Tim Holtz Baubles
2- Tim Holtz Christmas Paper Dolls 
1- Tim Holtz Tiny Bell
1- Tim Holtz Christmas Typed Token (Believe)
1- Craft Mini Sled
2- Craft Mini Gift boxes
1- Craft Mini Tree
GoldLeaf Rub-On Color Tube (Finial Pieces, Baubles, Star, and Camera)

  • Assembling Process
  •  Carefully undo the Tim Holtz Christmas Cabinet Card Frame and separate the two pieces. (I used an Exacto knife.)
  • Glue down the illustrated portion Of the Cabinet Cart inside the Vignette Box and agile down the frame portion over the front of the box. (Gorilla Glue Gel is my choice for a strong adhesive.)
  • Apply the Gold Leaf Rub-On Gold Colorant to Baubles, Stars, Finial Pieces, and Camera. (Its a good idea to wear a pair of gloves for this step it really sticks to your hands.)
  •  Once the painted embellishments are dry, Glue down the Finial Pieces- one on the top and one on the bottom.
  • Glue down the Craft Mini Christmas tree and wait a few minutes for the glue to dry the attach  the Baubles and star to the tree.
  • For extra support I glued the boy paper doll to the sled and the girl to the gift box. Once the adhesive dried, I glued them inside the structure. 
  • Place a pin size hole in the top center of Cabinet Frame and place the Tiny Bell
  • The last step is to glue the Christmas Typed Token to the sled and the Camera to the back wall of the Vignette Box.

Holiday Themed Altered Gumball Machine

I love to repurpose vintage items and incorporate them in my pieces. A few months ago, My husband and I drove to Raleigh, and went to this colossal flea market held every weekend at the fairgrounds. I happened to walk by this table, and came across this vintage looking Jelly Belly gumball machine. The first thing that came to my head when I saw it was Christmas. It was my find of the the day, and a steal for only ten bucks. My idea was to transform this gumball machine into a beautiful snow globe. I hope you like the results! The steps for this project are listed below.                                           Step 1. Disassembling the Machine  I disassembled the machine using a flathead screwdriver. I stored the smaller parts that I did not intend to alter in a gallon size zip lock bag.    Step 2. Selecting the Embellishments and the Epherma   I used pieces from the Tim Holtz Idea-Ology 2017 Christmas line. If you have not seen his 2017 Christmas re

Robot Vignette Box

Hi everyone! I have had numerous requests for a tutorial for my Robot Vignette Boxes. I finally have had some much needed down time from classes to get this done. Here is the step by step process to these adorable little boxes. I took apart the latches on my unfinished wood box and used two different types of paint. The first paint applied is Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Black Soot. Once dried, the second paint I applied directly over the Distress Paint is FolkArt Extreme Glitter Paint in Black. Once dried it gives a really cool glitter effect that makes the box pop. The second step is to gather all the pieces: 1-Tim Holtz Adornments Foundry (Electric), 2-Tim Holtz Mini Gears (Used as base under Hardware Pull), 2-Tim Holtz Pulley Wheels, 1- Tim Holtz small Configuration Box Insert (Smallest Size Square Box), 1-Tim Holtz Mini Hardware Pull, 1-Tim Holtz Light Bulb (Retired), 1-Rectangular Wood Piece (Robot Head), Tim Holtz 3D Gear Embossing Folder, 1-Sheet of Tim H
