Upcycled corrugated embellishments

Hi, Daniela here, with a layout using embellishments made from Starbucks corrugated coffee sleeve.


Here is my layout.


I traced  star shapes on the cup holder and cut them out using my exacto knife.


I painted the stars with Emboss Gloss and added Mix'd Media Inx Embossing Powder: Jasmine to heat emboss.


I did the same thing for the tree. I drew the tree with a pencil and cut it out with my exacto knife. I added Emboss Gloss and Mix'd Media Inx Embossing Powder: Jasmine. In addition, I painted parts of the tree with Smooch Glitz: Firecracker


I used these little flowers from the Design Adhesives: Tag It, to add little "ornaments" to the tree.


I added Glitter: Peridot to the Design Adhesives shapes.


This is what it looks like finished. I added a jingle bell to the top with some twine.


I used an old sticker sheet as a mask and sprayed my cardstock background with Smooch Spritz: Green Olive.


I used Design Adhesives: Sentiments and Designer Foils: Limeburst for the words and journaling box.


Here are some close up photos.





Thank you for stopping by today. One last thing---we have another winner for the  12 Days of Giveaways !!!

Thanks for including those of us who don't have blogs. I would love to try Smooch Spritz! Blogger is giving me difficulty, so I'm having to post anonymously. (s_huston@hotmail.com)

  2. Oh oh oh you have me on this one! I already save My Starbucks Mocha bottles to use to store buttons and trinkets. Now I will start saving my cup insulator's too! And I have everything needed to make this! One thing I would add is Vanilla Smooch..I use it on almost everything Christmasy! The clear sparkle is amazing!
