Altered Boxes

I bought several wooden boxes at a local craft store, for about $1.00 each and altered them.

The first box I altered is an index box. I made a card organizer box out of it. I covered the outside of the box with a glittery designer paper from DCWV called 'The Glitter Stack'. I cut three labels using my Nestabilities from Spellbinders. The biggest label is a really sparkly silver glitter paper. The white and black labels are mounted up on dimensionals. The title was made using Hero Arts Alphabet Stamps.

Inside the box are four dividers that say 'Thank You', 'Happy Birthday', 'Sympathy', and 'Get Well'. I used a tag punch to create the tags and the words are computer generated.

I made four matching cards and envelopes to match the box.

My second box is an octagonal shape. I covered the box with Purely Pomegrante cardstock that was embossed with Cuttlebug's 'Textile' Embossing Folder and then rubbed with gold ink. I painted the edges and inside with gold paint. I added a ribbon and hat pin for embellishment. The butterfly is a 'Cut and Emboss' die from Cuttlebug. I cut and embossed the butterfly twice: once in pink cardstock and once in vellum. I attached adhesive pearls to the center.

Have a wonderful day! Amy
