Card and gift box

Hello crafty friends!

Today I want to show you a pink card and a matching gift box. I made this for a confirmand, and hope that she like it :-)

I ordered Wild Orcid Crafts starterpack with different flowers, leaves and embellishments just to see what I could make out of it. I decided to use only flowers from this package. This is how my projects turned out.

My conclusion is that if you are new to scrapping this is a perfect package for you! You get different flowers to play with, and I'm sure you will find that the Wild Orcid Crafts products are of very good quality! I also discovered that the package is perfect for the experienced scrapper that wants to by perfectly matched, but different products!

Thank you for stopping by! Hope you got inspired :-)

Love 

Cathrine.

Altered Box - Step-By-Step

Today I'm going to show you how I've decorated this box. It used to have chocolate in it.

 

 

First I paint a layer of gesso around the edges to hide the original color of the box.

 

 

I put on a knob from Tim Holtz which makes it easier to pull the drawer out of the box.

 

 

Then I cut out pieces of patterned paper with the right sizes to cover the box on each side.

I cut the same amount pieces of carton, but now 1 cm smaller than the patterned paper pieces. 

Last thing to cut are a second set of patterned paper pieces, this time 0,5cm smaller than the

cardboard.

Then I use stickles around the edges of all three sets of paper and cardboard pieces.

The pieces is finally glued onto the box, layer by layer.

 

 

The box are now ready to be decorated.

 

I used Washi Tape inside.

 

Then I decorate with flower.

 

At las I decorated with small and bigger roses.

 

 

I have used paper from Prima and stamp from kaBoks.

 

 

 

 

Have a nice day!

Hugs, Randi.

Tag - "STEP-BY-STEP"

Today I want to share with you a tag and a small step-by-step tutorial.

 

 

 

First I make a dis (Tim Holtz) at about 8 x 15 cm. (1).

Then I cut following rectangles:

2.  7,5 x 14,5 cm

3.  7,0 x 14,0 cm

4.  6,5 x 13,5 cm

 

 

I blacken the edges with following ink:

Chestnut Roan, Olive Pastel and Sepia Black. All from ColorBox.

I sew a small border with a sewing machine on the smallest rectangle (top rectangle on the tag).
Then I glue the rectangles layer by layer on the tag.

I'm stamping a text and cut this with Spellbinders. Here I have used Spellbinders Standard Circles, Large and Small.

I also blacken with the same ink as above. I attach 3D-squares behind and glue the text on the tag.

 

 

I fold and tear a little around the edges on the tag, the pattern paper and the text. This to get that "shabby-chic"-look.

 

 

Your tag is ready to be decorated!

 

Good luck!

 

Have a nice day!

Paint with all the colors of the wind

Hello everybody,

Today I have an older project to show you that I hadn't shown on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog yet.

I decorated this cigar box with Wyanet by Wee Stamps as the main inspiration. I decided right away that I wanted to use feathers so I bought some of those at a local store that sells a lot for making real flower arrangements but of course I didn't want to use real flowers on my box as I wanted it to last so I used pretty Wild Orchid Flowers in stead. Since the feathers were brownish I decided to match that with Deep Red and white flowers. I thought the deep red was the perfect combination with the brownish tones of the feathers.

This is a side view of the box.

Hope you like my box and get inspired to do some crafting of your own!
Hugs,

A very girly birthday card

Hello everybody,

Today I'd like to show you a very girly card that I made for my sister in law's birthday with a cute little bear named Bella by Conie Fong.

This is a gatefold card as you'll see on my last picture that will hold a giftcard or money. I wanted to go real girly so pink in the coloring and paper and of course gorgeous pink and white flowers and those gorgeous pink crownpins (you'll find links to the Wild Orchid Crafts products on the bottom of this post).

A close up of little Bella, colored with Copic Markers and 3D paper pieced.

 

And a close up of the gorgeous flowers. Trellis roses, magnolias, open roses, rosebuds, fabric daisies, sweetheart blossoms and carnations on this picture and some cherry blossoms and cosmos daisies below.... a girly card has to have pretty flowers.

And finally the inside of the gatefold card. Behind the paper with the roses is a flap for a giftcard or money.

Hope you get inspired to do some crafting of your own. Have fun!

Hugs,
