Book Box With Graphic 45 paper

Hi all,

Thanks for joining me on this wonderful Tuesday morning. 
FINALLY!!! I have found the time to do some Scrappin' Valentine project. For anyone that is not familiar with this style of card, it is known as a "Shadow Box Book" card

Here's the front

This would make the perfect piece of home decor or even a fabulous handmade gift for wedding!

I love being creative with Graphic 45 paper collections. For this project I used a 2mm chipboard to make the base of the box, and then used pages from the G45 Time to celebrate collection to create all over the box. There was a lot of fussy cutting involved which I did over a couple of evenings whilst watching TV.

When I saw YouTube shadow box projects, I knew I just had to make one too!! I love how book part inside looks like a shadow box and the sides of it is made out of accordion folded paper!! Really, this is one of best and easy handmade projects that you have to see in real life to truly appreciate it. 

I took few photos to show you the beauty of this project.

This book box can be used as a gift box, which is if you are able to give it away. Or use it for yourself to store some special moments. Any girl of any age would love to store her treasures in it!!

And a sweet surprise inside!

On the left side, is a small card for writing the date , time and some fussy cut images to decorate

On the right side I made a little space to keep a photo.

That's it for today! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have an incredible Tuesday!
Till Next Time,
Suzna

A black makeover

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well! Today I'm here to share a brand new tutorial with you covering mixed media techniques and how to alter a LaLa Land crafts shadow box card! Let's see first what it looks like! 

Here are few different angles for to admire :P

Look at these gorgeous pearls from the store....
Omg they are so killing!!!!

Do you guys like it? 

I am sure this is adorable :P

So let's get started 

Here is my base to start with ...

I picked up this beautiful La La Land photo frame to alter......

Since it was a steampunk theme so i followed the same thoroughly....

Here is what the package looks like. It comes will all these pcs along with an instruction manual telling how to assemble it.

Its an ultimate to piece to adore , alter , or gift...

I started with my Prima chalkboard paint ....though we have many more beautiful shades but i decided to choose black n golden....
So i chose the black color!!!

The first thing I did was to paint all the pcs with Black chalkboard paint by prima. I absolutely love the chalkboard range by prima marketing these are amazing and the finish is excellent and our store has recently got all the lovely colours!  

I am sure you will drool over them!!!

Next i started assembling the Base. I've used glitter glue for this step as it dries clear and is mess free. 

U can use glossy accents or tacky glue too but i think i m addictive to this glue :P

I've taken a very grunge looking chipboard pc from Dusty attic and I started painting it with a gold paint by Dusty attic

Next i added 2 of these paints by Prima marketing on top of that piece. 

Taking a piece of chipboard for the photography I've made a border using Rose gold paint by prima marketing 

Next i stenciled the Base using Gel beads paste (micro fine beads)by Liquitex and layered 2 paper clay 

embellishments and some fishnet that is  available at Crafters Corner

Check my previous post to learn how to make embellishments using Prima moulds with paper clay!

now I'm adding some more textures to my piece I'm using this gorgeous pearl string from our store and next i have randomly added some glitter glue and covered it with Prills 

Do check below in pictures :

To give an awesome glaze i used the new Art anthology dimensional magic.

Here i have joined the picture with the frame.

Now comes the top part of the frame.

Now taking this thread i am attatching this beautiful key from the store.......

I have played randomly with them doing stenciling and using some chipboards from the store.
Then i added them on the front base and adhere them with glossy accents.

Here comes my final beads to be added .....
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....
I love them ....
