Winter Cabin Shadowbox Using The Robins Nest Papers

Hi everyone! It's Donna!

Today I am sharing Gina's Cabin in the Woods Shadowbox. This month we are promoting The Robins Nest, and we received these beautiful "winter collection" papers. Once I saw the blue and white papers, I knew I wanted to make a shabby cabin shadowbox.

 

The Shadowbox is very easy to assemble, the pieces fit together nicely!

I cut the papers to fit along the top of the back piece, and each section of the shadow box and glued them down. I painted the rest of the pieces with white crackle paint.

After assembling the shadow box, I used Aleene's snow in the cubbies, on the cabin, trees, and on the top of the shadowbox.  I added feet to the box so there would be additional height for the lace on the bottom.

 I added Gina's chipboard snowflakes, painted with white gesso,  layered with punched snowflakes using The Robins Nest papers. The coffee mug in the bottom left corner  is one of Gina's chipboard shapes. I painted it with white gesso, white paint, and then glossy accents. The fireplace comes with the shadowbox. I simply painted with white crackle paint.

I used white gesso on the two deer, and the word "Dream", and covered them with chunky glitter glass while still wet.

And then the fun part; finding additional items for the cubbies that fit your theme!

This was a really fun project!

Thank you for stopping by today!

New Year and Winter Cards by Donna

It's almost a new year! I made a few cards using Gina's chipboard shapes to send out in the new year! I thought this was a good idea for those of us that did not send out Christmas cards.

For this first card I used some pine tree chipboard shapes and put a very thick layer of silver modeling cream and fine glitter. Under the trees, I used one of the snowflakes, from the snowflake shape set. I painted it a "weathered wood" color to match the barn, and placed an intricate doily underneath.

I really had fun with this "Let It Snow" card! 

I used one of the large snowflakes and a beautiful flourish! Both have gesso, white paint, and fine glitter on them. 

For the title I used chunky glitter glass instead of glitter.

The gold snowflake was covered with Inka gold, and then a small about of gold embossing powder was heat embossed..

I thought this was a pretty card idea for the winter. I love snow and cardinals!

For this winter card, I used several of the snowflake shapes and stacked them. I painted each piece with white gesso, white paint, and sprinkled chunky glitter glass over each piece. I dabbed a bit of Inka gold on the tree. I wanted some of the natural chipboard to show through.

I used red brick chalk ink for the word Joy.

Cabin in the Woods Shadowbox by Kim

Happy Friday friends! Today I am sharing my Cabin In The Woods Shadowbox by Gina's Designs. This is such a great shadowbox and comes with some fun extras, including the chipboard fireplace, cabin and trees.

I used the Honey Chai paper on this box, but first I give it some paint and a crackle finish to pick up on the blues and brown tones in the paper. It worked well with the theme of the box.  I also used some of the Queen Anne's Lace chipboard and layered in some resin butterflies, dragonflies and flowers from Craftsupplies1.

There is plenty of room to decorate or store your favorite items!

 Here you can see the top of the box and the cabins and trees that come with the shadowbox. I used layers of inks on them to give them their muted tones.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my project today. For more info please check out my blog which you can find HERE
