Altered Cookie Can

Hello & I am here with my inspiration for Bob N Betty.

For my project today the inspiration was the "Cottage Blush" collection so floral & so shabby.

I worked my way to making a flip album using these gorgeous papers,  half way through & I realized it looked very similar to the wallet mini I made earlier! So while that incomplete project sits on my table an alternative 3D project came to life & am so glad it did! That's the story of the altered cookie can I share today. 

Here are some close ups of the cannister - 

I used distress crackle paint for some textures over the distressed folds here - 

Flowers & charms from my stash added much to the shabby look - 

         

            

      

                                                           

The gorgeous altered can makes a unique box to hold a gift, an invite or even a letter or simply fill it up goodies & candies! 

Thanks for visiting today & have a wonderful week!

A Tea Light Candle Holder Card with a Tutorial

Hello friends, welcome once again :-).

I am back with another card today & this one is a tea light candle holder card with a tutorial (thanks to the Itsy Bitsy Challenge, let me tell you I really enjoyed compiling this & please excuse me if I have forgotten to capture a few steps).

This card doubles as a box to hold small gifts (chocolates, candies, tea lights) within the card. I have used this tutorial for reference.

Let me first take you through the steps in making this box. I have used another cardstock to show the first two steps because I forgot to take pics!!!! 

For my card I have used heavy weight white CS.

Glue one strip to form a box, leaving the smaller sides unglued to insert the candles.

The box & the card both are ready now. You can chose to decorate, embellish as you wish. I chose to heat emboss some flowers & then distress the card & box (used fired brick, barn door & mustard seed inks) as you can see - 

Now here is the much awaited part....................the final look. I truly loved the white heat embossed flowers against the red BG.

Some close ups.............

This is the inside of the card...................included a small pocket to hold a tag.

The tag completely co-ordinates with the color scheme & design............lady bud included!!! The tag is distressed with walnut stain & vintage photo inks.

The front & the back of the card.

Also made this card with the Lulupu Challenge#14 in mind & used the colors accordingly.

An Altered Chocolate Box

Hello peeps!!
A second post from me today with a project for my first time entry to LESSology Challenge#24. The challenge involves creating a cover & I chose to alter this Lindt Chocolate box for this.

This is the outcome of  embellishing the lid after covering it with a polka dotted handmade paper. I loved the combination of washi tape, pearls & distressing along the edges...............................& don't miss the cute ladybird crawling on the box!!!

This is the lid & the base of the box.

Shoe Shaped Candy Holder with a Mini Easel Card

Hello friends, am back again with a new creation for this months theme......LOVE.

This time I made a very very girly candy box in pink, shaped like a high heel shoe.........yes you read it right a shoe. Used this shoe template, slightly modified the toebox. 

This is my candy box.......isn't it all pretty gorgeous in glittery pink? My daughters just cherished this & want a real shoe just like this one!!!! 

The heel can hold candies like this...........

I have used parchment paper for the toebox, embellished with a single layered flower & some bling.

Made the insole using double sided PP. Have added a mini easel card, for which I used the other side of the PP. Here's a look at the card.

Looks complicated but trust me its really easy peasy to make.
