Here are a couple of projects I'd like to share with you. The first one is a little"pizza box" to use as a gift box. The great thing about this little box is that it can be made with 1 sheet of paper. You can find the directions on Splitcoaststampers. This site is a great place to get recipes for all kinds of projects.
I used a double sided paper from K&Company to construct the box. The flower is from Recollections and the cute little apple brad is from Oriental Trading. The rest of the paper were from my scraps and the ribbon and button came from my sewing stash. Isn't it so cute, especially with that little apple brad.
Now I have a card to share with you. It is an A2 card.
I used paper from K&Company and My Mind's Eye to create the card. As you can see the paper has been distressed with my new favorite tool, the Tim Holtz paper distresser. And I just love the look it creates. The branch with the two love birds was cut from the TIE THE KNOT cartridge and the decorative half circle was cut from the FRENCH MANOR cartridge. The label was cut with the LACEY LABELS cartridge. I used a Martha Stewart punch to punch the leaves for the branch. The little pearls are from Recollections. The stamp is from Inkadinkado. The ribbon, lace and ric-rac is from my sewing stash.
