I can't believe that Christmas is only seven days away! I guess I should start my shopping!! Today I have a Gina's Design's design team project for you. I have a configuration style design made from the Bagatelle Boxes: Starter Kit.
These boxes are great! You get 12 in the kit (two of six different
sizes) and once you have the boxes assembled, you can attach them in any
arrangement you like.
I
had so much fun with this project! I used the new "Couture" papers from
Graphic 45 to line the inside and the outside of the boxes. That's right ladies! I used my new paper right away! Well, okay. I haven't cut into the 12x12 yet! I also used
the paper on the wooden dress forms that will be available in the store in 2014!
I used several items from the Doily Box: SEW collection. The needle was embossed with silver embossing powder.
Here you can see the doily and sewing machine from the Doily Box: SEW collection. The sewing machine, hinge (Hinge Shape Set) and filigree frame (Filigree Frames Shape Set)
are all make from chipboard. These pieces were all embossed with
embossing powders. Just a tip when embossing, if you are using a light
color or want the true color of the embossing powder, gesso first. I cut
the filigree frame in half and attached one of the images from the
paper line to it before attaching it to the side of the box.
Here are two more of the chipboard pieces from the Doily Box: SEW
collection. The "sew" was given a serious workout. I had some embossing
issues, but after four times under the heat gun, I got it right. The
chipboard did not fall apart or warp on me. I then attached it the the
blue embossed chipboard frame. You can also see a mirror in the corner.
This came from the Parisian Shape Set. It comes in two pieces so
it was easy to emboss the "glass". The base of the mirror was inked and
then coated with glossy accents to give it that high polished look.
I
love how this chipboard scissor turned out! The handle is black and the
blades are silver embossed. I added a brad to the center. They tuned
out darling!
Here
you can see the chipboard zipper, dress form and button (the dress form
is sitting on it). The zipper and the dress form were all embossed. The
button has a piece of the paper attached to it. The dress form is on a
stand, but I cut it off and attached her to the button. I love that I
can alter the pieces to fit my designing needs!
