Recipe Box

About a month ago at Crafty Women we did a joint effort of making a recipe box, the idea was taken from a magazine, one of the ladies had her husband make the template for us, some of us had loop sided lids, I was one of them, but we went ahead and came up with different décor. As you can see I chose a Baking Tilda on a rolling pin. I chose blue to match my kitchen. I plan to make another one in the future, might make a nice Christmas gift.
I coloured my image with promarkers and copic pens, I used a glitter pen for the lace edge and a white pen for highlights, unfortunately my camera does not always pick this up.
Project Tuesday has a easy project so go over a check it out, I may make one, but I have so many things I want to do but not always the time. See you all again soon.

Exploding scrap box

This months class project was a tutti fruitti exploding scrap box, so below is the mess, 3 ladies did the project. Here is Tracy with her box.

Angela one of our regular crafters, well done angela.

Cupcake/ Muffin box

I found the instructions for this box on the web, through Scor-pal www.scor-pal.com , so if you go there click onto the project section and scroll down to ONE CUPCAKE BOX for tutorial.

I used some of my scrap material to see how it would turn out, and as it turned out ok I will give it away to one of girls in class, although I will be filling the box with some Thorton Choc. as she does not like cake. I used the nesties for the tag, I think I need to buy some more in smaller sizes.

The front of the box I cut a see -through window with my scallop punch and I used some acetate I had to cover, the flower was done with the flower punches I have and in the centre I put a purple gem instead of a brad. You don not have to put a window in as it is one of those optional things.

Note to my friend Debbie, you could do this for the office, does not need alot of materials, and you would not have to embelish, just nice card of double sided paper.
