Magic Stacking Box

I always find it so interesting how I come upon many of the projects that I do. This one in particular I was looking at a completely different project and found a link (Life As Lou) that lead me to this site where instantaneously I fell in love with the design of this box. Though the assembly of the box was fairly easy, the repetitive work of tracing, scoring, cutting and gluing were very time consuming.

RECIPE
PAPER: S.E.I.; Alpine Frost. Bazzill Assort Cardstock
EMBELLISHMENTS: Autumn Leaves; Tidings Die Cut Tags. Acetate Snowflake
RIBBON: American Crafts; Black Gingham
TOOLS: Scor-Pal, Cuttlebug, SU! Tag Punch

Now the finale and my favorite card, 4 of 4! I am still on an owl kick. This turned out simple yet cute, and I loved the end result. By the fourth card I am now starting to run out of paper as I really like to layer up my cards. I put liquid crackle on the owls eyes and it looks really cool.

Out on a Limb


Card 3 of 4! I sponged the background for the sky, the picture does not do justice as it really looks fantastic. I popped out the black bird with dimensionals. I really liked the Mojo sketch, but my end result I was not happy with.

Wisteria Angel


Card 2 of 4! I colored this beautiful image of an angel with copic markers. Copic's are my favorite to color with and the more practice the better you get and you will find what technique you are best at. I choose to leave this card blank and add a sentiment as a later date when needed as it could be used for so many occasions.
