Egg carton storage box.

Hello all :) 

I had an egg carton lying around the house for days , finally i put it to good use !!

I made a shabby chic - Egg carton jewelry box!!

ever heard of that ?? 

Here is what i made 

I used the Sizzix Framelits Die Set 4PK - Frame, Fancy Oval

for the lovely black frame.

I wanted to a picture there but our printer isnt working, but no worries it still looks nice :) 

The label i have used here is Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK - Frames, Decorative #2

Nice dies there by sizzix , lets you work on a lot of different papers.

There is a tiny little pink envelop there which was an extra from my previous project.  
The Pink ribbon flower and the white and orange flower on top are handmade. 
The baby pink flower is from itsy bitsy. 
white lilies are from mallika's extras . 

notice the muslin fabric underneath ?

The heart here is cut from Sizzix Bigz Die - Heart, Stem & Leave 

Since it a bigz die i can cut many layers of paper together , even felt or fabric even chip board !

But here i just needed one heart. 

I distressed it first with my ink pads and then used the Ranger Inkssential CRACKLE ACCENTS Glue   

on top  for the  lovely crackled effect !! 

Thats how it is from the inside tiny storage compartments for storing my jewelry :) 

Nice right ?

My husband really loved the fact that i didn't go shopping for a paper mache' box

for this and managed to make the egg carton look so awesome ! :) 

I have truly enjoyed doing this one cant wait to hear your thoughts. 

DO check out the links of the products that i have used here :)

 it may just be the thing are looking for ! :)

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 !
