Hello. Welcome. Well, this is verging on a record for making NBUS into used schtuff!! Had a few happy mail packages today. One was from Country View Crafts and contained a diverse selection of exciting things. The first one I grabbed was the Sizzix Pillow Box Die (NBUS). I saw this and thought it was a good price, cos it includes a few extra dies as well, and I have been making a few of these to pack small gifts, but cutting and scoring by hand. Love it!! I think I might work through the scraps and turn scraps to pillow boxes!
Tried to go vintage. Not a strong point of mine!! I started by cutting the box from kraft and stamping Rubber Dance Vintage Script stamp with Espresso distress. Then I smeared Old Paper and Tea Dye distress on the box. I added a piece of lace up each size and die cut Memory Box Heart from Prima patterned paper. I added 3 metal daisies from Korthobby.no and put a brown half pearl in the center of each flower. This is Daisy the giraffe from Lost Coast Designs Misc. Anthropomorphs. Well, I think Daisy is a very good mname for a giraffe! I coloured her with very dilute distress inks.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz
