Non's Boxes

Last time my mum came to visit she bought

two boxes from Craft Central and gave me strict instructions to get them decorated for her! (I'll get into trouble for saying that cause actually she said when I get a chance but that didn't sound as good!!)

So here they are decorated! I coloured them with "cool peri" dabber. The stamped the swirls and leaves and heat embossed them I also embossed around the edges of the lids. A couple of small gems have been added after we had picked them off the floor where I had spilt them and when I say small I mean SMALL!

Bookmark Box

Allison's Challenge this week is "All Boxed Up" so I made a box. I took 5 chipboard coasters and coloured them with a Pool dabber and a copper dabber around the edges! I then stamped each side with blue stazon. I then punched holes around the edges with my crop-o-dile. Brown ribbon was then threaded through the holes (boy that was a struggle!) Then I finished it off with some acetate butterflies!

Lesley's Birthday Box

Here is the box I made for Lesley's birthday. Well I suppose I didn't actually make it but I decorated it!

I started by colouring the box with dabbers in aqua - I then went round the edges with a copper dabber. Then I stamped the flourish which is a Heidi Grace stamp and covered parts of it in glossy accents. I added gems for a finishing touch. I want one now!! When I find time !

I also made a tiny clipboard which fitted into the box!
