Created A Stunning Topiary with NEW Deco Foil Colors

You know how it is when you get new crafting goodies and you just can’t wait to tear into them?

Hello and happy CHA Winter Season! This is Audrey Yeager and I am so excited to share my projects using the new DecoFoil™ products with you!

First up is this beautiful topiary that I made with the new Champagne Deco Foil™ (Coming Soon!), the new Deco Foil™ Adhesive Pen (Coming Soon!) and some Deco Foil™ Hot Melt Adhesive. (Now Available!)

This is a really simple project, but can be a bit time consuming. I began by cutting out some plain cream colored flower spirals with my Silhouette Cameo. I rolled each spiral into the flower shape. On some of the plain ones, I added some streaks of adhesive with the NEW Deco Foil™ Adhesive Pen (Coming Soon!), and then used my laminator to secure the Champagne Deco Foil™ onto the adhesive. I love the look of the partially foiled flowers!

Finally, I added a sheet of Deco Foil™ Hot Melt adhesive right to my cardstock using my laminator, and then added the Champagne Deco Foil™ (Coming Soon!) on that. THEN I cut out my flower shapes. I have found that foiling paper first and then cutting it give much better coverage on the edges.

I found a floral foam topiary display at my local craft store with the foam ball already secured to a pole and a foam base. I pushed the foam base into the planter and covered with some decorative moss. Then, I pinned each flower to the foam ball using some pearl head pins.

How beautiful would this be as a decor piece in a hallway, or on a mantle? Or even as a centerpiece at a wedding or other special event.

In addition to the topiary as a center piece, how about some beautiful candles to go with it?

This is a super easy project. I used the new Deco Foil™ Toner sheets, the NEW Pewter Deco Foil™, some vellum and some battery operated candles.

First measure the circumference of your candle with a string and place on a ruler. Make sure you cut your vellum and cut file slightly larger than this to get a good wrap around the candle.

I found this cut file in the Silhouette Design store. I added some Pewter Deco Foil™(Coming Soon!) to a Toner sheet and cut it out on my Silhouette machine.

I wrapped a piece of vellum around the candle and secured with some Super Tape™.

I added the candle wrap cut to a sheet of sticky dots to make it tacky, and then wrapped it around the vellum. Voila, it’s done!

You could eliminate using the sticky dots by using the NEW Deco Foil™ Peel N Stick Toner sheets instead of the plain toner sheets and sticky dots.

Finally, another simple project you can do to dress up a last minute birthday present. Whenever I go to a birthday party for an adult, they are usually getting a bottle of wine as a gift. So I made a simple little wine bottle tag to make it festive!

I found this shape, too, in the Silhouette store. The tag itself it cut from a toner sheet and covered with the new Deep Blue DecoFoil™ (Coming Soon!). Then I layered some patterned paper and a banner piece covered with Lilac DecoFoil™ (Coming Soon!). For the circle elements, some are paper, and one is the toner sheet covered with the NEW Aqua Deco Foil™ (Coming Soon!). Lastly, the “40” and “Happy Birthday” are cut from the Deco Foil™ Toner sheets and covered with Black Deco Foil™.
