Chalk Couture Christmas Wreath Shadow Box

I am offering a Christmas wreath shadow box workshop to introduce the concept of using chalk pastes and fabric transfers. It should be fun. I plan to offer the attendees an option for joining a club and making various items ( every other month) to fit in the shadow box for  various Holidays. 

I added mini lights to the wreath, attached decorative paper to background, added the wreath inside, hot glued the ribbon to the glass ( it will peel off when ready to change), and chalked Merry and Bright at bottom of front glass. Easy Peasy...

Chalk Couture Everyday Photo Board

I needed a way of presenting 5 gift cards and a greeting card for a gift. After some time searching and trying to come up with a plan. I bought a wedding photo board at Hobby Lobby knowing I would change it to an everyday photo board. 

I painted board  and clips with gray chalk paint. 

I added an everyday verse using Chalk Couture transfer and chalk paste.

I tied simple bows on each clip using cream color seam binding. 

Here it is completed. 
(my gift cards and picture on it to give you a sense of finished project). 
The entire project took less than 1 hour (including time to allow paint to dry). I'm hoping the recipient  likes it as much as I do.

Cardstock used: Real Red, Pool Party, and Very Vanilla.
