Hello Friends ,
Today I have a project to share . I had this very sturdy plain box with me for long. With Xmas coming up, I thought of decorating it .
I have decorated it with loads of PP , beads, ribbons, flowers .
The Theme I had in mind was Thanks Giving - We should always thank God for the Unknown blessings he showers on Us.
The birds view
The flap with the Bling
The Rear view
I cut all the PP according to size , distressed the edges and pasted over the box. Once over the edges were not looking so good . I then took the ribbon from my stash and went around the borders. It looked wow !!
Then I embellished it with Die cuts, the birdie chipboard , flowers and corner ornaments ..
The Birdie - Momma and Kiddie <3
The Inside was Lined using a lace . To add bling to it I added another layer of Bead hanging lace too. The pic is not so clear though. The base has a cardstock with " Give Thanks for Unknown Blessings " stamped and placed it inside the box base ..
I wanted to place a big button as opener . But as I went through my stash , found this cut little yellow ribbon floral bow kind and was sure I wanted this here :)
Materials used :
1.DCWV PP - Itsy Bitsy
2.Birde chip board - Itsy Bitsy
3. Rectangle Frame - Joy! Crafts - Cutting & Embossing Die - thecraftshop.in (Priya Shivraj)
