Mushroom Friends sneak peek!
Are you ready for Spring? And bunnies and mushrooms? :0)
Here’s a sneak peek of my new set called Mushroom Friends! It contains 3 different bunny & mushroom images, a single mushroom and a few fun sentiments. And it will be available Monday night at ATS. Scroll to the bottom of this post to find out how you can win this set!
I used my SU! Cutie Pie paper (and the cardboard insert!) to make this box. This was a technique challenge over on Splitcoast not long ago. You can check out the TLC203 Origami Box directions to find out how to make it.
I used my Martha Stewart Cornice Edge punch on the strips across the top of the box. I was actually cutting a long strip to fit around the sides but it wasn’t working out, so I cut it down and added two strips to the top instead. And the main image was cut out with Labels 1 Nestabilities.
This box was made for a gift swap last weekend when I was stamping with friends. It was filled with some stamping goodies but imagine the possibilities….this box would make a great gift package for just about any occasion!
Here is a close up of the main image. And you can see that the Primas were layered with a jewelry spacer and a brad.
This is the inside of the box. Normally you would only see the one side of the patterned paper but I wanted some of the other side to show also. So I folded the sides up on the inside.
And finally, here’s a close up of the inside. The large mushroom is a single image. The smaller mushroom and flower were cut out and layered from the image used above. You can also see the cute mushroom charm I found in the beading section at Michael’s. I punched a hole through the lid so it hangs down on the outside when the box is closed.
I hope you like it! Now go and check out the ATS blog and gallery for a few more samples of Mushroom Friends. You can also blog hop the ATS DT from the list on my sidebar.
