It's that time again... The Ribbon Girl Colour challenge.. hop on over
here for the chance to win a mini ribbon kit and a £10 voucher from LOTV
This month I've made pillow boxes and decorated them with all kinds of lovely trims from The Ribbon Girl.
I especially love the new Faux Diamante Trim... this stuff is fab, I've cut it into strips, coloured it with Promarkers and even stuck it down around curves...just snip one of the two threads holding it together after you have cut an individual strip.
The Bias trim is great to edge the flap of the pillow box too.
Here's the template for the box.... the black lines are for the standard box and the red are the cutting lines for the box with a flap.. glue the sides together when making the flapped box.The papers are from
3djean
... Doh .. the bottoms a bit skewwiff but I'm sure you'll manage!

Those are lovely - no need to put a gift inside, they look like gifts in themselves!

Very pretty. I especially love the wrap on the pink polka dot box.
Well you are the first person in the blogging world I have heard use the term 'Skewwiff'!
Bought Art Journaling mag and loved, loved your journal. It brought back memories for a start, 'kali' there's something else most folk I know have never heard of...shredded coconut tobaccoo.... I suppose you know about liquorice root, penny Arrow bars maybe? And Golden Wonder crisps for tuppence.... by 'eck, them were the days lass!
I am from the North too, transplanted around the country in different places, now living the rest of my life in gorgeous, wonderful Norfolk. Doing lots of crafts, lots of reading, baking, gardening, and now embarking on art journals and I am NOT artistic, so it isn't easy and a lot of my work is derivative. But why isn't there a book which tells you how to.... how to attach pages from old books and work over them without them wrinkling up, just how to start from the very beginning, preparing pages, what works and what doesn't.
I love yours though, did I say?
