ACETATE " Blog Wars " - Project 2

Hi All,

Welcome to today's project for the Blog War Challenge.

I thought I would make something different than a card today..so I created an Acetate gift box... I have put lollies inside , but could be used to put a lot of things in it, potpourri, bath salts, even a small gift.

I also used Petunia Bazzill and Parakeet Bazzill .. I tied a piece of ribbon around the box and tied a bow at the top and I also used some rhinestones for some bling. You could aslo add a little gift tag to the bow for a personal touch.

Cheers

3d PROJECTS (PoW) - Project 4

Hi all,

I just love these little Chinese Take-a-Way boxes..They are just sooooo cute.

They would make Bonbonnieres for weddings, great for jewellery gift boxes, chocolates, etc their uses are endless.

After tracing, cutting, scoring, then folding my template I used 2 purple Brads from "Tropical Funky FLowers - Paper fasteners" (4419) and some White Organdy ribbon (70651) to hold it all together. Would you beleive there is no glue or tape used for this box except to attatch the stamped image.

Then stamped "Post Mark -Fun" (4040KD) in Vivid Ink - Purple (09017) onto White Card and then punched out image using the Whale Circle Punch(PSPWP01).

3d PROJECTS - Project 3

Hi all,

Today I created a little desk caddy with 4 drawers to keep little bits and pieces in ..like rhinestones, brads, album rings and eyelets. So I can keep them at the ready for any project.

I used Aricot Bazzill (4615) and Flower Paisley SB Paper from our Ooh-La-La Range...I think I might add some rhinestones to this for some extra bling.

3d PROJECTS (PoW) - Project 1

Hi all,

I hope you had a great weekend and a fabulous Easter (and didnt eat too many choccy eggs).

My past week hasn't been so fortunate... early Tuesday morning my dad was rushed to hospital via ambulance, as mum described it, he was thrashing about (as though he was having a fit) throwing himself out of bed hitting the cupboard and floor, gasping for air, he was also unconscious ....After many test and scan, he was later diagnosed as having a Brain Seizure, he is slowly recouperating but doesnt remember any of that day, fingers crossed he will be fine..Was/is a very scary time for us all.

Then early hours of Saturday morning my cousin Gary passed away (he was only a year or 2 older than me- (early 40's) .

Well enough of the sad stuff and onto todays PoW. This weeks PoW (Project of the Week) is 3d Projects.

I have created a gorgeous little Peek-a-Boo Gift Box using Flower Frenzy SB Paper (4685) Oh-la-la Papers and Fussy Bazzill. I made this for a friend and will fill it with chocolates but it would also make a great gift bag for any small item.

I used a template I purchased from a craft Fair made by Darcies. After tracing and cutting pattern, I cut a hole in the front using the Oval Curvy Cutter (EKCC07) and covered the hole with Acetate(6238). I trimmed with some white ribbon (70372) Pink Daisy (4696) and 13mm Rhinestone (4557). I stamped "Thank You" from Mini Messages Stamp Set(006KK) in Dark Peony Fluid Chalk onto a Punched Circle and distressed the edge to create the tag.

Rollagraph (Pow) - Day 3

Hi all

Today is a very memorable and exciting day for me, not because its April Fools Day.......but because I got notification that the 4 project cards I submitted to Kaszazz have been accepted as Demonstration Projects...woohooo......

..... ...and............

I have been in Queensland 1 year today (I moved from SA).....Yes April Fools Day. Its hard to believe I have been here one year already, how time flies, and people said I wouldn't make it.

Now to todays project...

I gave myself a bit of a challenge today, I created a box with a flip lid using origami fold....great to put keepsakes in, photos, a mini fold album or even cards and given as a gift...It ties up with a ribbon on the side and the top flap opens like a book cover......half of the challenge was deciphering the instructions..well they were not written instructions ..but diagrams.

The rollagraph "Modern Butterflies" (26123) Jumbo Wheel was used around the edge of the inside part of the box..The Jumbo wheel was the perfect height for the edge of the box..... Of course I stamped the Bazzill before I folded it. I used Lyra Aquacolor Crayons to colour the butterflies(4540)

I used 1 1/2 sheets of Petunia (4400)12 x 12 Bazzill , half a sheet of Circle Dragonflies (47650) SB Paper 12 x 12 from our Gelati Range, some white card for decorating and some ribbon from 'Snow White" range (9599)., Glossy Accents, Dreams Vellum Quote (4410) "Life stamp (4131KI)

Of course you dont have to use a rollagraph on this box you can have the Bazzill plain or use double sided paper. The finished dimensions of the box are approximately 13cm x 13cm and 6 cm depth.

Pictures arnt as good as they should be as I had to rush them, As hubby got all romantic he had a special meal organised at the dining table with all the fine heirloom dishes and cutlery, the works....... (spoilt).

Here is the side view of the box showing the rollagraph wheel used.... the tricky part was to , make sure the butterflies ended up being the right way up when the Bazzill was folded.

This is inside of the box - lid open



This is the top view of the box
