Hi everyone! I’m back this week with the reveal of my first project I created using the re-released Treasure Box Diecut and the new Painterly Blooms and Background Thinlits. I also used a few dies all by Eileen Hull.
For some odd reason I didn’t do step by step photos…sorry…I guess I was in the moment of creating away. Well, anyways let’s get started!
First, I covered both sides of two pieces of Mat Board with patterned cardstock (you will have to have two of each of the dies). I placed the mat board onto the Treasure Box Diecut, and sandwiched in-between two plates and run through the Diecut Machine.
I put the box together. Side note, if you can’t figure how to put the box together Eileen Hull has lives on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram every Tuesday and Thursday. If you don’t catch the lives you can go to the replays to watch how to’s. Or you can join Eileen’s Facebook group for lots of inspiration, you can find the group HERE. Just be sure to fill out the questions to join.
Second, I punched holes with a Crop-A-Dile in the lid and the box for the hinges and clasp. Side note, I used wash tape to hold the hinges and clasp in place while marking the first set of holes. I attached the hardware with brads. I added a decorative trim to cover the pongs of the brads.
Third, I glued the feet to the bottom of the box.
Fourth, I cut flowers and leaves from the Painterly Blooms and Background Thinlits, Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits, Sunflower Diecut and the Folio Page, Pocket and Flowers Thinlits. I used the middle flower from the Sunflower Diecut and the flower from the Folio Page, Pocket and FlowersThinlits to create the largest flower on top of the box.
I used the tweezers from the Stylus Kit to shape the petals of the larger flower and the largest stylus to the center of flower, including the smaller flowers, before gluing each on top of each other. I cut two leaves from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits, shaped and adhered to the back of the flower before adding to the top of the box.
I cut several flowers and leaves from the Painterly Blooms and Background Thinlits. I shaped the flowers with a stylus to create three different types of flowers. I glued together, added leaves, gems and Pearls to the center of each flower before placing onto the box. I I finished by added lace, bows made of thread and pearl top push pins.
