Yesterday I made a third box in a row. Not intentionally working in a series, I'm just on a box decorating jag for some reason.
This box holds circular affirmation cards, (box and cards were
free downloads) .
The box is folded from
card stock which I painted in purples and greens, and covered the lid in a grey silver pinstripe.
The edges are painted silver, a smiling moon is stamped in silver with some silver embossing glitter over that. As well as some phrases that I felt went along with the idea of the affirmations.
The lid has a domino and a ball-bearing. The domino
functions as a handle to open the box.
Inside the ball-bearing is a small silver charm that reads Thank-You. All held in place with lots of glue and why not some
silver glitter.
Everything then has a coating of matte medium which made the box feel much more sturdy than just folded
card stock once it dried.
Really cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. These remind me of the Best Wishes cards I've made from the downloads from http://www.thetoymaker.com
ReplyDeleteI think these boxes are a great idea and if you are working in a series, what the heck? You are working and that is important.
