Mini Carry All with the Trunk Box Die Cut

I used white die cut boxes and colored them with green ink, then trimmed pattern paper for the sides and the inside back liner...

I cover a piece of cardstock with the same pattern paper and punched a circle, I cut a scalloped nestie shape and stamped the message from Innovative Stamp Creations and glued this on the box front and back...

The only candy I had in the house was peppermints, so put some in to take this picture...

Here are the 3 boxes I made today...See a special kit offer for this die cut box on my studio blog

Treat Box Project

I used my trunk box die cut to make the little treat boxes to fill with kisses and mini candy bars...

I used a beautiful background stamp from Innovative Stamp Creations and stamped the white die cut with maroon ink, then used the same ink and my stipple brush to color the box...I added green ribbon with a beautiful maroon/red flower with a clear crystal center...

Maroon ribbon with a white silk flower...

Gold wire edged ribbon with maroon silk flower...same box, different ribbons...I only had time after work today to make one to show...I am going to do these as some swap gifts at the womens club Christmas party in two weeks...I think they will like getting these little treats...Check out my studio blog to order the plain white die cuts, http://thestudioinpreston.blogspot.com

More Altered Art and Domino Necklace gift ideas

I just love snowmen...and when I saw this set of snowman stamps at www.thestampingstudio.com I knew I had to make boxes, with domino necklaces as gifts for teachers this year...well, and for me, and my mom, and my grand daughters...and...well, you get the idea...I used watercolors to add color to the snowmen...and then coated them with Ranger Glossy Accents...I added some glitter with Ice Stickles...The domino's were coated with Ranger Alcohol inks in stonewashed and the gold additive...then stamped and heat set...I added some gold to accent using Brilliance Galaxy Gold, then heat set again...then coated each domino with Glossy Accents...I also used it to glue the beads to the tops of the domino's...The Ugly box...well, thats what I call it...I just could not get it to look good...no matter what I was doing...so I quit on it...and made the Leaf domino, which I rather like...and may end up keeping for myself...depends on if I run across somebody I like more than me...LOL...and using the large barrell type beads, attahced to the top of the domino, makes changing ribbons for the necklaces so easy...you can change the ribbon color to match your clothing, etc...I sell the die cut boxes thru my picture trail site, you can see them here http://www.picturetrail.com/debbiesdiecuts and if I can help you further you can email me at debbiesdiecuts@earthlink.net ...More ideas coming soon...
