Treasuring Memories

“Hello everyone! I share with you an interactive pop-up altered box that I made using the  Tropical Travelogue  collection. I made the 3d pop-up effect coming out from the lid of the wooden box. I created like a shelf hanging of chains from the lid and I will show you all the creative process in the video. Let’s take a look… I took measurements of all sides of the box, then I cut paper in these sizes and covered the box inside and outside. I prefer to use liquid glue to adhere the paper to the wood. Once the box was covered, I distressed with a sponge all the edges with the Color Box decades ink to achieve the vintage look. I cut out some leaves and flowers from the papers to decorate the top of the box. I paste some of the leaves using the 3D foam tape, it gives a realistic effect. When I open the box the shelf comes out and it’s being held by chains. I decorated the shelf with various leaves and I also incorporated chipboard and sticker. I mixed color...

Hello! I want to share with you an altered box that I made with the beautiful Fairie Dust collection by Graphic 45.  I took one dollar box and covered with two different papers from the collection the bottom part with a floral design and the lid with my favorite paper from this collection the lavender with stars. I made a lot fussy cut, I can sit for hour with a scissor and paper, it's a therapy! I gave textures on the lid with a glitter paste and a stencil by Creative Embellishments.   I made the composition with all the images that I cut from the papers. I also added a sticker tag from the collection. I hope that you like this cute box. Thank you for stopping by....Have a great weekend!!! Hugs! Marilyn

Hello my scrapper friends!  I’m so excited to share with you my first project as Graphic 45 Ambassador. I created a layout using one of my favorites collection  Botanical Tea .  I started giving textures to the polka dot paper with a stencil and modeling paste. I dab the Antiquing Dye Ink over the acrylic mat and I mixed it with water to paint all the stencil work. I let it dry. I took one tag from the Regular Ivory Tag Albums to mat the photo. I distressed with the ClearSnap Decades Dye Pad all the edges of the tag and the photo. I cut out the flowers, butterflies, birds and, leaves from the papers. Once I created the design on my page with the different chipboard, stickers and die cuts pieces, I added  3D foam tape on the back of them. It added dimension and highlight these elements. I added some art stones with gel medium to create more textures and for a feminine touch, I added some pearls here and there. You can watch all the creative...
