An altered sweetbox for Papirdesign and Sizzix UK

Hello all you scrappy friends!!

Today I have a decorated box to share. It's decorated with great products from Papirdesign.
 I plan to add a small gift to the inside and give it to a friend who has a birthday soon.
This was the box I made for my Sunday post on the Sizzix UK blog and so far here on my blog I only shared a small sneak.

After eating all the Turkish Delights in the box I did not feel like throwing it away so
I used paper from the Spring collection 'Forventning' to dress it up.

I cut out patterned papers a little haphazardly and glued them to the lid. 
Firstly one pattern to the top and then another pattern for the side. 

I added a strip of sequin ribbon to cover up where the papers meet.



I used some great dies by Sizzix to decorate the lid. (Links below) After cutting and glueing down a trellies pattern I added a couple of mini rosettes and then a large handmade flower on top. I used pop dots to add dimension.



A few more close ups:



I just think those larger peony buds from Papirdesign are sooo lovely!!

I hope you liked this.

 I'll leave you with some advise; ...

Eat lots of Turkish Delights (or other sweets) and you'll have your own box to alter :-) LOL!

Have a good day!

An altered project for my Sunday post at Sizzix UK.

Today for my Sunday project at the Sizzix UK blog I made an altered item. I don't do altered often, but must say I utterly enjoyed it. There is something very satisfying in decorating something and putting it to good use, when you would normally just throw it away!!

My final pages using Scraps of Elegance April kit.

Ok so another month has come to an end and I will share my last page with the SOE lit 'Flutter' 

and also reveal the two pages that you so far only saw sneaks of here on my blog. 

(These have been shown at SOE and also on the Sizzix UK blog before.)

Link to Scraps of Elegance HERE.

Alright,.....here we go! (There will be lots of pictures so I'll keep the words to a minimum!)

 The first page uses a lot of BoBunny 'Primrose'  

 I also used the Sizzix die 657177 Mini paper rosettes here. 

It is a fun die to use on all kinds of projects!

 Flowers are Prima and Petaloo.

The next pages were both done for the Sizzix UK blog and of course also using the awesome kit from Scraps of Elegance.

You can see the first of these two HERE to read all about the Sizzix products I have used.

The Flutter kit from Scraps of Elegance is one of my faves so far. So full of great embellies too!

The following one was posted on the Sizzix blog just this Sunday and you can see the post HERE
to find out what dies I have used.

 I love this photo of my sister and our cute nephew who will be four just now. He is a ray of sunshine!

  I used the Tattered florals die here for the first time, and I must say I am totally SOLD on it!
It is so fun to use and turns out so beautifully! These flowers were made using one of
the patterned papers from Bo Bunny in the kit.

I also love the daisy flowers that I have used on here. They are acytually a present from my sister who is in the photo and some of her favourites, too.

 That's all for now. Cudos to you if you had the stamina to see this post to the end......

Now this Labour Day is also soon to an end, but the weekend is coming soon, so at least we have 

that to look forward too. :-)

Hugs!!
