SHADOW BOOK BOX DECOR WITH G45

Hello everyone :-),

It's been a small while since I posted something on CC blog. I have been busy with vacation trips, marriage in my home town Kerala. And Today i am back with another project for Graphic 45 inspiration series, If you haven't try with these beautiful papers, you should check G45 projects. You definitely love it.

For my project today, I decided to create a Tim Holtz configurations book box with Off To The Races Collection. Configurations boxes are great options when you want to use lots of mini decoration because there are so many spaces to work in!

Here's the cover. Lots going on here. burlap sheet, chipboard cuts, metal embellishments, ribbon and flowers.

Here's how i decorated book box

*****************

let's take a closer look at the details for my box cover.

These are the main brand materials....totally love it

This book boxes can arrange in different way. Check out the below image.

I choose this configuration for my project.

I happily got these beautiful burlap sheet from my home town. Its perfect match for this G45 collection. And I shared the video of all materials down of this blog post. Do check out.

I used double side tape to stick the burlap on box cover.

I didn't fold the burlap sheet, i cut it on the edges.

Can you see that?

Next is 2nd layer covering, This one i did as like album covering.

These boxes are already glued, but same time we can remove easily for our deisgn.

For gluing this i used double side tape and glue gun for corner edges.

G45 Off to the Roses collection is perfect match in black background. So i applied black gesso.

Stick the light weight black card stock for box cover.

Start decorating each boxes with G45 paper and lots of metal charms, buttons, flower and G45 chipboard.

Once of the configuration box, i decorate with "Dusty attic" chip board frame. Coloring of that frame : Prima marketing acrylic paint with black gesso.

For decorating front cover is always challenging to me :-), But G45 metal embellishment & Wycinanka cutouts help to get beauty of my project.

And here come the result

I hope you enjoyed my mini configurations book, with G45. Thanks so much for stopping by. I'd love to know what you think. Have you ever made a configurations book box before? What paper and theme did you use?

The Baby Projects

Good morning, everyone! Welcome to Crafters Corner blog.

I hope you had a splendid weekend…I just returned from a small weekend myself …and what better way to return than with a cute project share? Today, I have a gorgeous baby theme project to share with you. Here’s a look at my 4 completed baby projects:

So, I am not going to bore you with every detail. Just going to give you the basic idea and few tutorial pics. I mainly used Kaisercraft peek a boo collection papers, and for embellishments are as usual like flowers, miniaure metal charm, stickers were the paper, laces, ribbon etc.

I really enjoy how this project came out. I think it is very pretty, fanciful and fun, just like a project about these silly sweet and beautiful gifts for our kiddos.

Let start one by one

1. Mini baby room

I really like using Mount board as it is so easy to work with

Mount board: This Neutral Mount Board is a must have for all kinds of scrapbooks and 3D shadow boxes.. You can create any size of shadow box with the help of the same. It is best to be used for the back of mixed media layouts.

Its 2000 gsm strength makes it very special .

I Just simply cut 4 piecse as for my design, and i sticks together with Aleene's glue and you can use stick pins in it to secure it while it dries and use masking tape.

And i start decorate with papers, lace etc

White color or soft color laces design are perfect for baby theme project

Middle of the room wall i added the lined designed paper ( i dont no proper name of this particular paper)

In fact, I liked how these corner legs looked so much that I added it 4 edge.

This Prima Acrylic color gives very soft pink shade.

Then arrange the miniatures, How easy this project, is it?

2. Gift box

This box I made using Graphic 45 Book Box covered with same pattern paper from kaisercraft

I painted all the edges of box with white gesso

Glue the design papers inside and out side, and if we add lace, its get more decorative

Adding emplishments, flowers etc

This is the perfect and easy project for gift purpose :-)

3. Shadow box

I really love to create shadow boxes and altered art…so here is my take on a baby boy room

I painted whole box with mix of acrylic and gesso
white and blue acrylic + white gesso

These are my few lace collections which used in this project.

Adhere paper to box, added laces, fussy cut images, flowers, miniature metal charms, resin frames etc

4. Mini Album

I am normally doing mixed media, altered art, miniature but I really enjoying learning album making myself. I dont have tutorial pic of this next time i will share my experience in album
