Learn how to make faux stained glass using panels from Denise Boddey Designs. @deniseboddeydesigns #sponsored
Looking at these Sprouts Panels from Denise Boddey Designs, I thought they would work well sandwiched together. Then I needed to decide what to put between them. Could I make faux stained glass with alcohol ink? Why not give it a try!
Special thanks to Denise Boddey Designs and ScraPerfect for providing some of the materials that are used in this project. I am a design team member with both companies.
Using a laminator and a laminate sheet, send it through by its self. Then set it aside. This is the plastic sheet that will be used as faux stained glass.

Here is a close-up of the finished project. I love how the colors blend together and show through the chipboard piece. Because the chipboard is laser cut, they align perfectly.
The whole finished piece with light shining through. I can’t wait to hang this in a window. I think it turned out so nice.

Grab these free SVG files and make your own light-up Christmas Tree decor.
I created these Christmas Trees for a post at Cut CardStock. We were presented with a mood board to influence our creations this month so I changed my original plan for green trees to red. I think they would also look nice in white. There are two different tree versions, a four-sided tree, and a five-sided tree.
I cut the free SVG files on a Cricut Maker. A special thanks to Cricut and Cut CardStock for providing materials for this post.
I have a post on the ScraPerfect blog today making decorative notepads.
I have a post on the ScraPerfect blog today with a video tutorial making these embellished notepads. They are really easy to make and can be put together quickly with minimal supplies. They make for a great gift as well. Check out the post here: [Notepads]

Follow along with my as I design a plaque inspired by a mood board.
This month as part of the Denise Boddey design team we were challenged to work with a mood board. I have seen mood boards before but I have never worked using one as inspiration for a design.
mood board
The above mood board is what we were provided, aren’t the colors beautiful! You can see that I worked more with the three colors on the left side, the second image down from the top. These were colors of items I already had on hand.
To begin I used my Cricut Maker to cut out the word hello three times from blue cardstock. The reason for three times was to add some height to the word when placed on the plaque. Once cut out, I glued the three layers together.

The decoupage paper I used was Quite Place. It is a part of the Out in my Garden set from Denise Boddey Designs. The one-sheet covered the entire project and was used in a few different ways. The Quite Place design has a colorful plant design with a subtle overall pattern. The different areas of design were used specifically on the birdhouse. The birdhouse makes a great decorative piece and there is a lot of attention to detail.
To make the leaves have more stability, I covered them in UV resin and cured it. Then I cut out the leaf design and set them aside for later.
Using a Foliage Green colored paint, I covered the birdhouse with a thin coat.
Here is the house painted.
I began to fit the subtle paper design to the sides of the birdhouse using decoupage glue under and over the paper.
Using a matte decoupage glue added a nice sheen to the paper. Trimming the paper to the bottom edge of the birdhouse while the paper was wet left a rough edge which I will hide later.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-6266942531963740&output=html&h=280&adk=2591642117&adf=2511820791&w=820&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1600565820&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=7204917205&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&ad_type=text_image&format=820×280&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftryit-likeit.com%2Fentries%2Fcreate%2Fhow-to-decoupage-with-denise-boddey-designs&flash=0&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=200&rw=820&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=NT&dt=1600565816940&bpp=4&bdt=3737&idt=4&shv=r20200915&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Db88650c4930810b4%3AT%3D1600562313%3AS%3DALNI_MYOyHc5IyrX5qryugHYUv-oyBB81w&prev_fmts=0x0%2C300x250%2C850x425&nras=2&correlator=8361932644105&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1296732239.1600562314&ga_sid=1600562314&ga_hid=1014777550&ga_fc=1&iag=0&icsg=3421680856727552&dssz=79&mdo=0&mso=0&u_tz=-360&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=900&u_w=1600&u_ah=860&u_aw=1600&u_cd=24&u_nplug=3&u_nmime=4&adx=247&ady=5789&biw=1583&bih=708&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=21066705&oid=3&psts=AGkb-H9rQhx7yLhQbBGw4bnH1KqcfqpSZpeuowXTwNUkRnH4OvTA7–HY7wDUhtwKMOh%2CAGkb-H8jo_0ZULvY2WuuQbPcRMuIKEK5-kcH-a9XHPMdvtFt1mcZlvwy-Tew2JSANy_gfMyk6ym3gg&pvsid=962885958521269&pem=299&ref=https%3A%2F%2Ftryit-likeit.com%2Fentries%2Fcreate%3Fpage%3D3&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1600%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1600%2C708&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=8320&bc=31&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=1&fsb=1&xpc=bt05rBYmeQ&p=https%3A//tryit-likeit.com&dtd=3996
The back of the birdhouse has a nice surprising leaf design.
I added the decorative elements to the front. The resin leaves at the top and a bird sticker at the bottom. In the above photo, you can also see the ribbon wrapped around the bottom. I used decoupage glue for all of these elements.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-6266942531963740&output=html&h=280&adk=2591642117&adf=4148038230&w=820&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1600565820&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=7204917205&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&ad_type=text_image&format=820×280&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftryit-likeit.com%2Fentries%2Fcreate%2Fhow-to-decoupage-with-denise-boddey-designs&flash=0&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=200&rw=820&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=NT&dt=1600565816948&bpp=2&bdt=3744&idt=2&shv=r20200915&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Db88650c4930810b4%3AT%3D1600562313%3AS%3DALNI_MYOyHc5IyrX5qryugHYUv-oyBB81w&prev_fmts=0x0%2C300x250%2C850x425%2C820x280&nras=3&correlator=8361932644105&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1296732239.1600562314&ga_sid=1600562314&ga_hid=1014777550&ga_fc=1&iag=0&icsg=3421680856727552&dssz=80&mdo=0&mso=0&u_tz=-360&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=900&u_w=1600&u_ah=860&u_aw=1600&u_cd=24&u_nplug=3&u_nmime=4&adx=247&ady=7209&biw=1583&bih=708&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=21066705&oid=3&psts=AGkb-H9rQhx7yLhQbBGw4bnH1KqcfqpSZpeuowXTwNUkRnH4OvTA7–HY7wDUhtwKMOh%2CAGkb-H8jo_0ZULvY2WuuQbPcRMuIKEK5-kcH-a9XHPMdvtFt1mcZlvwy-Tew2JSANy_gfMyk6ym3gg&pvsid=962885958521269&pem=299&ref=https%3A%2F%2Ftryit-likeit.com%2Fentries%2Fcreate%3Fpage%3D3&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1408&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1600%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1600%2C708&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=8320&bc=31&ifi=5&uci=a!5&btvi=2&fsb=1&xpc=Hnc6i6kp0J&p=https%3A//tryit-likeit.com&dtd=4006

I also decoupaged the bottom of the birdhouse, paying attention to details.
For a final touch, the roof was wiped with sparkle paste, I applied this with my fingers for a light coat.
