Shabby chic Love treat box with a card.

Hi friends ,

i just finished working on a shabby chic treat box and a card for the BGC #24

We have officially commenced our challenges for 2013 . 
The challenge is to make a  
SHABBY CHIC LOVE - card / LO or project.

For this challenge we would love to welcome back our 

Premium sponsor this year 

 Crafters Corner 

Moving on to what i made 

*Caution : Picture overload* 

Here is how i made the set.

First up i embossed my card stock then distressed it with

*Tim Holtz Distress Ink PAD SPUN SUGAR 

and Tsukineko Memento Ink Pad LADY BUG 

Then i stamped my sentiment from the my minds eye set and i had the perfect sizzix frame for it !

Sizzix Framelits Die Set - Frames, Decorative

it cuts out a label and a frame :) that can be reused later

cool right ? 

So then i do my placements and voila !! :) 

thats my card.

For the treat box i have used

Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die - Candy Jars 

Its a super beautiful die that lets u cut out two different types of candy jars. 

I was absolutely happy with the results.

Thats one side of the box that i tried to make look like a Shabby chic Post box. 

with a tiny envelop and an opening to drop in letters :) 

The lace and the ribbon is what i bought at poundland 

hat pins are back from india. 

Flowers are from itsy bitsy and mallika.

This is the other side of the treat box. 

here i have used the Tim Holtz movers and shapers Sizzix Die MINI SILHOUETT

They are the amazing  magnetic dies by Tim Holtz and sizzix.

I had never really used Movers and Shapers before. 

but going at it is simple.!

PLS NOTE that you need a Base tray to use these dies.

The beauty is they stick to the tray any where you like!

This is great if u want to cut through labels , or the front or inside layers of your card 

Or on your tags etc. 

U just place your die on the trey then your paper, and finally sandwich it with your cutting plates.

I have used the extended cutting plates here. 

And run it through your machine :)

So thats about it :) so do join us in the new challenge over at BGC #24

Cant wait to hear your thoughts !
