I am so excited to bring you my first project as a Lessology DT member! Our challenge this week is Trinket boxes, so fun! We are sponsored by Market Street Stamps so be sure to play along!
I picked these up at a garage sale during the summer. I already posted my altered purse here.
I used the other two boxes to make some Halloween boxes. I thought they would make great decorations or I could make some Halloween goodies to put in them and give them away, I haven't decided yet. Perhaps I'll make some goodies and keep the boxes ;) First I spray painted the boxes black then I just went to work layering and stitching some Echo Park Apothecary paper which I easily added using my Xyron, added some twine from The Twinery and voila, some Halloween Trinket boxes. This is for Lynn's Recycle challenge.
Just a view of both of the boxes.
For the smaller box I used this week's sketch from Eat Sleep Stamp:
I used a Martha Stewart around the edge border punch for the web border so this fits the Frosted Designs challenge - punches. Love the charcoal twine from The Twinery for Halloween! This and the other box also fit the Little Red Wagon Challenge - twine (such a challenge for me ;) ) I used my new Theresa Collins Cricut cartridge to cut out the spider. I used Glue Dots to hold the twine in place as well as the spider's legs so that he has more dimension.
For the larger box I used this sketch from Crop and Create.
Again some more punches and twine but all the rest is from Echo Park.
I love how these turned out and would love to see what you do. Be sure to link up at Lessology for your chance to win some Market Street Stamps!
