The Scrapbook Garden- Wooden Blocks

This is my 6th project for this months design kit for

The Scrapbook Garden

I love making these decorated wooden blocks , and with these papers

these ones have to be some of my favourites.

I started with 3 pieces of wood , quite similar in size to each other.

( Thank you to my friend Pauline , who keeps me supplied with wood

from her wood store for her fire)

As I was covering the back and front with paper I only applied

gesso to the edges of the blocks.

Next using my gold dabber i painted the edges

Next I added double sided tape to all of the edges back and front

Using plain Bazzill Kraft I covered all of the backs of the blocks

The fronts I covered with Authentique  'Curiosity' 'Awe' and 'Surprise'

trimming the edges with a craft knife.

Next using some double sided tape I attached some ribbon from my own stash

Once again using the gold dabber I coloured the remaining

Tando scalloped nested squares

Using the smallest one ( the other I kept for my next project)

I placed it over a red embossed December calendar stamp

I attached a punched out holly leaf cut from Bazzill Rainforest

and a drop of red stickles to make the berries.

Using the strip quotes from the Noteables

I added them beneath the ribbon

Using some rubber stamps of my own

which fitted the Christmas theme I added them to the blocks

as finishing touches

And there you have it.

I enjoyed making these and they are really easy .

They make very cheap ornaments and its a great way of using up the scraps from other projects.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, as always its much appriciated .

Hope you have a lovely weekend , I seriously need to rest Im beginning to feel burnt out.
