A Square Card

Hi there,
I am back with a card. This time i experimented with a square shape card.

 

Actually this card is based on the challenge pad provided by the ICR  for its current challenge. I chose the first sketch. I rarely make cards based on sketches but i think they save a  lot of time in deciding layers.

The image is a free digital stamp from Sliekje. I enjoyed colouring the iamge. I found few metal charms in my stash. Used bird one in this card. I got beautiful ribbons from Indira in ICR's swap. The yellow ribbon is one of them.The sentiment is stamped using fiskars alphabet stamp set. The lace is also from stash.

This is used to be...Oil Bottle Box

Hello peeps,

As you can guess from the title what  i am sharing with you all today. Its an transformed oil bottle box. I have upcycled it into a gift box.

P.S - Picture Heavy Post

 

I have cut  a small window in the front and added acrylic sheet to it. On all the three sides, i have added brown embossed paper.  The patterned paper are left over scraps from old projects.

 

The blue flowers are handmade and those green one are boutique elements from itsy bitsy. The blue glitter strip is from itsy bitsy. I think they are superb for embellishing.



Have you noticed that cute froggy..this is from my SWALK stamp set. It is coloured using steadlers. The green cord is actually a recycled elastic from an old bracelet.

The bow is made from 1/4" wide satin ribbon

So this is the box which i actually transformed.

Recycled Booklet Box

Hello peeps,

No post for so many days..don't know where i was busy but i have few projects to share.Today sharing a recycled booklet box.



This is the box after transformation. The brown paper is again a recycled one from a paper bag. Used few diecuts to embellish it.  In the center of the diecuts are the black and white glitter foam flowers. I have added a handle to give the look of a bag.

  

On all the four borders i have added the scallop border

This is how the bag looks after opening.I have kept the opening flap as such. Just covered with brown paper and distressed the edges with Faber Castell Ink.



 Back side of  bag-

This was the old booklet box that i found in my stash.The box contained booklets which i have kept to recycle some day.

And this is the paper bag which i actually use to cover inner and backside of my recycled bag. I have used inner side of this bag.
