A little Gift box ► Majo

Hi Folks!

Majo here today to show you a gift box I made for my friend’s Birthday.

 

I have used the stamps from Plate 916, a very versatile set, which I love very much, since I always love flowers J

This is the little box I upcycled:

I will give this to a friend who borrows sentiment stamps from me all the time, now she will have some of her own.

I cut my panel according to the size of my box, scored the lines and applied distress ink in 3 different colors. I didn’t take pictures of this process, you all know this works.

 When my panel had dried up, I started stamping my flowers. I didn’t want to use black ink; it would’ve been too hard in my eyes, so the “Watering can” from Ranger was right down my alley.

I wrapped the panel around the box, added a ribbon and ready!

I must say, this was a fun project, the size of the stamps enabled me to stamp really close together, I have a few more projects on my mind already.

The flower stamps I used:

 Thanks so much for taking the time to stop over!

Happy week and happy crafting ♥

Stamping With VLVS On Glassine by Pinky

Hey there VLVS fans!

Pinky here today with a fun project tutorial- 

A how to make this acrylic card and stamp on Glassine paper by Tim Holtz. 

I used the amazing Plate 1350 and several images to create this vintage style card

of encouragement and love. I stamped right on the Glassine paper and love it!

 Using Plate 1350 and Colorbox Mixed Media ink- stamp images onto

Glassine paper. Drying with heat gun in between each image. 

I found that a blow dryer did not work you will need a heat 

gun for this ink/paper combo but it dries beautifully. 

 After all images have dried- crinkle paper thoroughly and smooth out after. 

 Stamp an extra Violet Nosegay Flower Plate 1350: Item 17819 onto Glassine

dry, then cut out. Crinkle just like before. 

 Adhere stamped paper to base of card.

Take single flower and pop up over stamped image using foam pop dots. 

 Add embellishments pearls and gemstone.

Using Acrylic Expression- coat wit Alcohol Ink and light dusting of glitter. 

 Adhere vintage lace to front flap wrapping around flap. 

Add Gemstones. 

 Adhere Courage Expression to from flap on outside. 

 Assemble card as per instructions being careful not to touch clear stickers. 

Take Glassine paper scrap and insert "Sending You" alphabet sticker. 

Place into Momenta Metal Frame. 

Adhere to front of card.

 As you can see because the card is clear I adhered gemstones to both sides

of the scallop and you can clearly see the lifted flower for dimension.

Vintage style, beautiful and full of heart- ready for the recipient. 

Until next time- Keep on creating!
