Bling it On!

As a new challenge for us over at My Sheri Crafts, Design Team sister, Peachy, has asked us to create any project with lots of bling!  I took this opportunity to finally alter a plain old jewelry box I had picked up at a Goodwill Store for $2 over a year ago.  It has been sitting in storage waiting to be redecorated.  This is what I came up with...

I was inspired by last week's "vintage" theme for this project.  The paper I picked out already had the effect of being distressed then I made sure to ink it up a lot on every edge and corner of the box.  The flowers are rolled up flowers from the Cricut cartridge: Artiste and inked up as well

The inside of the box... as you can see, the old paint on it was a glossy silver and I kept that color and carried it through the new decor.  I used silver embossing for the sentiment on the top front of the box

As for the "bling" theme... each side of the box are also dressed up in more bling.  I would also like to thank Design Team sister, Charlotte, for the violet trimming.  I found it in the pack of trimmings she had sent me ages ago



Thanks for looking!

Now... it's your turn to create something spectacular and join us over at  My Sheri Crafts


Box size: 4" x 4" x 2"

Hearts

It's February!  Design Team Sister, Sandy has picked out a new theme over at My Sheri Crafts to kick off this new month.  Make any project with "hearts"... you can bet we're going to get a lot of Valentines entry!

Well, what a perfect theme to get my Valentine goodies started.  I made these three favor boxes as samples... yes, just samples.  I have to make at least 21 more of them!  They are for my son's Kindergarten class.  They are doing a treat exchange for Valentine's Day.  I left each of them without any sentiments or messages since my son has to pick them out first. 

The treat boxes are from Cricut cartridge: Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More.  The flap on the top forms a "heart" when put together.  I plan to make each treat box unique... no repeats! 


Thanks for looking!
