Baby box

Hi all!!

Today I have a baby box to share with you. It is completely made of dies. Here are some pictures.
I actually wanted to do a cradle and started the project with the same in my mind, but finally it turned out to be a simple box or you can call it a storage box to keep baby's little things. I made this for one of my church member who is expecting after around 14 years of their marriage.So the baby is going to be absolutely special for everyone of us. As a token of love I thought of giving her this. Since in India, we don't  know whether its going to be a baby boy or girl, I made this to suit any :).

All sides are made of Spellbinders ornate rectangles. And has been attached on another rectangle die.
Here are some side views

I cut the dp with the same die the smaller size and cut around the edges to create the center part. Cheery Lynn mini fanciful flourish ,some prima flowers and baby words stickers  for embellishments. Hope you liked my creation. Thank you so much for visiting me today and all your loving comments.

Decoupage box and felt flowers

Hi all!

This post is about  a decoupaged box. However I didn't use any decoupage medium. I did quite a few  projects with mod podge back in 2010 when we were in the states. But I don't have the picture of them :( . But I will  soon be getting my mod podge and will do the next project with it. As of now, I mixed glue with water and have done this. The main thing about this is the felt flowers which I tried like you do with  quilling paper strips. It has come out well for me. Do let me know how it is.

Here's the box

The stamps are from Hot off the press. I painted the box with Kraft poster paint thoroughly.

Shabby chic box

Hi all!

I made a box and decorated it shabby chic style. The colour inspiration is from The shabby Tea Room

 

and the Misting and Stamping technique inspiration is from Beyond Grey Challenges.
Both the titles were just making me want to try something new. So here's what I came up with.

I don't have a score tool so, the measurements are somewhat roughly around 10.5cm for the boxes. I made them square.
I used the DCWV French stack papers to cover the box and then my laces and pearls around. I distressed the doily with Tattered rose and then misted with Lindy's Stamp Gang glitz spritz cactus gold. You can see it clearly in the picture below. I used a soft muslin cloth and tried stamping on it with the same distress ink for background and then stamped "HOPE" with archival ink. The white flowers are from a lace, I cut them individually and put the small paper roses on them.
Hope the outcome is good.

Thanks for your visit today and all the lovely comments.

Shabby chic projects

Hello and welcome to today's special post! (it's really going to be loooonnnng :) )

Yes, this project making was very special to me as it was "Shabby chic" and hope it will be to you as well! :) Have been doing this for more than a week and today I got to finish :)

Beyond Grey challenges wanted a  dinner ware (an altered one) included in our  project and it should be of a shabby chic type. So here is what I came up with:

I altered a mason jar type coffee bottle and made a complementing altered box for the same. You can see the details below each picture.Hope you'll find them useful.

Here are the closeups

1.The bottle

 

 Covered the bottle with layers of DCWV French stack papers before layering the ribbons and laces.

I had to wait a long time for the drying process and then added the other embellishments. If see closely, you can see the spoon with the daisy flower. Painted the spoon with pearl metallic paint, added a flower and a handmade tag.Have distressed the tag with frayed burlap distress ink and stamped the sentiment with the same and the tiny metal tea pot is a new addition to my stash from Bits n pieces paper boutique. I've also added a vintage flourish die cut butterfly from Joy crafts.

The other side of the bottle:

Have attached a tiny button and another metal tea pot charm.

2. The close up of the the embellies

3. The box, front and side view

For the box, I altered some cardboard pieces, stuck them together, and covered them with DCWV French stack papers but it was a tedious process ;) bringing them together! and for the center part, I used itsy bitsy's fancy panel die cuts, embossed one with Corture creations trellis EF and inked the same with tartered rose distress ink and left the other plain. Punched out some flowers and leaves from the same stack of papers and added pink daisies and another die cut butterfly.The stamps I've used were sent to me by dear Grace. You can visit her at th-ink-ingofyou.blogspot.in

Then laces and pearls around the box to the added beauty.

 Below are the items I altered

Hope you enjoyed your visit today. Please do share your thoughts on this project.

Gift box

Hello dear friends,

Hope the New Year has started well with you. Today I'm sharing with you a box I made for my mother's b'day. This is my first attempt in making a gift box. I've always liked Sunehra's way of adding pearls to the borders and have included in my box as well. I should also mention another inspiration Huseena who makes the most beautiful gift boxes :).

Here is what I made:

The itsy bitsy camden cottage flower and butterfly decorate the box along with a diecut and distressed sentiment holder at the centre.And the box has a white lace around it and pearls on the borders.

I chose the scripture card I made previously and a lavender sachet  to keep inside the box.

Hope my first attempt in box making has come out well. Please let me know! Hope to "see" you all soon :). Thank you for visiting me today and for your lovely comments!

Gift Box

Hello dear friends,

Hope you are enjoying your week.  I was off for some days due to some personal work. Also, our neighborhood is  under  rain water drainage construction and you can imagine the plight of our internet at this time :(.

Now onto the post.

I did this gift box for a real special person :) will soon reveal it. Mean while please take a look and give your feed back.

My friend gifted me a craft set which included three plain boxes and I've converted one of them into this :

For a closer look, here is another picture of the gift box

I painted the white box with pearl metallic pink, and have added flourishes and beads. I've also added a ribbon on the side of the lid of the box. Have two more boxes to work on.

Enjoyed painting the whole box,  with my favorite color :). Hope it has come out well.

Thank you for visiting me today, and I really enjoy your comments always :)
