MINI GABLE BOX

Today I am joining in an International Demonstrator Blog Hop. I hope that you find inspiration from all around the world. You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from Australia. .

Papercraft isn't just about card making. It is also about boxes, bags, tags, home décor and the like.

Today I would like to share with you this cute little gift box. By simply dressing up a Silver Mini Gable Box I have a box ready to go for gift giving.


I used a 1.5cm strip of Gorgeous Grape card stock and wrapped it around the box, stuck a Pineapple Punch circle, added a Pearlized Doily and fussy cut out a flower image from Love What You Do stamp set which was coloured using Gorgeous Grape ink and blender pen. 



These make great little presents or even a table favour.

I hope you have enjoyed my project and don't forget tp check out all the other blogs. You just never know what you might find.

Happy crafting,

Rosalie

CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP WITH MIKAELA TITHERIDGE

Welcome once again to a Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time we are CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by Mikaela Titheridge. She has such amazing creations. You should check out her blog. We hope you find great inspiration from todays projects.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me. Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

This is what I was inspired to create.

I loved the simplicity of Mikaela's design in these projects, which I CASEd today.

I used the solid shape from Butterfly thinlits to use as my background, and then the Watercolor Wings stamp set to give a pop of colour to my projects.

I created a matching box with the Window Box Thinlit dies and used the same theme as the card. This time I used the larger butterfly from the Watercolor Wings stamp set for the top of the box.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoy the remainder of the blog hop,
Rosalie

Craftroom Makeover - Part One

Colours make me happy!

I have been doing a tidy, organise and decorating of my craft space. After 2 and a half years of no planning and just happening, I decided it was time to get organised and sort out this area once and for all.

I don't know about you, but my space had turned into a mess. Piles of scrap cardstock everywhere, half finished projects and crafting items not in their place. It was making it hard to craft, harder to run classes and more importantly, it was making me unhappy. A couple of weeks ago I decided it was time for a change.

I chose a colour theme - my favourite, Bermuda Bay. I hunted around for some paint that matched, so I could get decorating.

Today's project is just one of the pieces I now have to decorate the room. It was a plain kraft box. I painted it my desired colour and then set about decorating.

Using the Butterflies Thinlits and some silver glimmer paper, I made the butterfly. The antennae are made from wire, two designer vintage buttons and rhinestones.

Today's blog post will be a featured project on Kylie Bertucci's Crazy Crafters Highlights  from 6.30pm AEDT. If you like my project, please follow the link and vote for me. Don't forget to check out the other amazing projects from crafters all over the world.
