CLICK ON IMAGES FOR A CLOSER VIEW I'd been playing with mica and thought how well it would suit butterfly wings. These are painted with mica pigment 'Festive Brights'. The butterfly stamp is by Personal Impressions Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have a name, just a code: P547 E. The rounded shape reminded me of the butterflies depicted in traditional Japanese art.. Using mustard coloured card as the base seemed to enhance the colours of the mica pigment.. I wanted to carry the 'shimmer' effect throughout the box but decided not to use mica pigment on the panels it would have overpowered the butterflies. so Using ivory pearlescent card as the base I inked with the green and blue from Rangers Big & Juicy 'Mountain Meadow'. To add a final touch of luxury I stamped Hero Arts 'Leaf Flourish' in VersaMark and embossed with gold. Mounting the panels onto gold mirror board framed them nicely and added weight to the sides which always helps with 'the drop'. I must say, I thought glitter was difficult to capture in a photograph but mica is a nightmare! Thankyou for visiting. X

Magical little boxes to hold all of your favorite things are just a craft project away!
I’ve made this Magic Box before and the instructions can be found on my blog here. This box features the beautiful blue papers of Pion Design Vintage Garden. I love these papers! Check out this box on today’s post at Pion Design here! I’m so honored to be on their Design Team and am […]
Here I've tried to show the process of the exploding box opening. CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO GET A CLOSER VIEW This next series of photographs show the box from closed to open. I'll be back with more soon!
This box was another commission. A friend asked me to make it for her friend Tina's big 'O' birthday. Tina and her partner Dave have the most beautiful garden, in Truro, Cornwall, UK, which they open to the public each year. It's called 'Poppy Cottage Garden' so it was clear what the theme should be. Here's the link to their garden website - it's well worth a look: http://www.poppycottagegarden.co.uk/ CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO SEE THEM CLOSE UP. Unfortunately for Tina, my friend Teresa didn't warn her that it was an exploding box and Teresa told me "poor Tina almost fainted when she lifted the lid off her box". This image gives you some idea of the height of the explosion. I like to keep the outside simple so that the inside is a surprise. Maybe not quite as much as it was for Tina though! Box Details: Panels Lime green card again. Tinted with VersaColor Lagoon Blue & Marigold. Stamped using Perfectly Clear 'Leafy Silhouettes' in VersaColor Evergreen. Spot glittered with ultra-fine green glitter. Poppies I made a template for these poppies and cut them out from heavy weight red paper. Each poppy is made from two layers which I scored and creased before gluing together. I finished by dotting black ultra-fine glitter in the centres. Leaves These are made using a small daisy leaf die and tinted with VersaColor Evergreen ink Bees These were made using 'EJ Honey Bee' stamp set (one I designed myself). I stamped onto acetate using black Stazon, cut each bee out and crystal glittered the wings. I then stamped onto lightweight card, coloured the bodies using marker pens, cut the bodies out and glued them onto the acetate bees. I highlighted the black with ultra-fine, black holographic glitter. Ladybirds Small wooden Ladybird embellishments painted with 'Glossy Accents' to give that classic Ladybird glisten. Thanks for looking.
CANDY NOW CLOSED CLOSES FRIDAY 26th FEBRUARY 2010 At last I'm back! Between the terrible weather and family seasonal illnesses I feel like I've been out of action forever!!! As a late Blogoversry celebration I've made this box for someone to win. There's also a small bundle to go with it - Butterfly stamps, a pack of acetate sheets, black holographic & crystal ultrafine glitter, a pack of small gemstones and a black Sakura Glaze pen. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and I will draw the winner on Friday 26th February. I am happy to post Internationally. CLICK ON IMAGES FOR A CLOSER VIEW I always edge the butterflies using a black Sakura gel pen - it punches the black forward after colouring. Black holographic glitter is perfect for defining the body markings and wing tips. Crystal glitter can be used on it's own - it allows the underlying colour to shine through. I often mix it with coloured glitter to give more sparkle and it acts a little bit like adding water to watercolour paint - making the coloured glitter translucent. I wrap a small amount of Blu-Tack round the end of a fine embossing tool to pick up the small gemstones when I'm gluing them to the panels, it's much easier than using tweezers. I would like to say a BIG HUGE THANKS for your patience, support and encouragement over the past year it has meant so much to me. Good Luck! THIS CANDY IS NOW CLOSED The winner's name will be posted shortly!

To begin, choose your paper. You need six sheets of matching paper (preferably a heavier weight). Choose one for your outside, a contrasting one for your lid, and 4 to create the inside boxes. Cut as follows (all measurement are in inches): Outside: 6 x 11 3/4ths Lid: 8.5 x 8.5 4 inner boxes: 8 x 8 The only challenging part of this project is creating the lid and inside compartments. The good news is, they follow the exact same process.

Well as we enter Autumn we spent the day creating unique Collage boxes. It was a grey day outside a we brightened the day inside. After a start creating the backgrounds we were entertained by a cheeky book we were using that brought a smile to everyone's day. One of the things I love about this workshop is that most of the day we work flat......and then like magic we have our boxesEach box was totally individual and beautiful. Thank you ladies for a lovely day and possibly the last workshop in m
Добрый день дорогие читатели! Сегодня наш дизайнер Вероника Lastochka подготовила вам интересный и полезный МК. :) "Чтобы сделать наш magic-box нам понадобится: - плотная бумага (картон), чтобы хорошо сгибалась, но при этом держала форму - здесь открою маленький секрет: очень удобно использовать картон из наборов для детского творчества; - скрап-бумага - мейджик-бокс - отличная возможность утилизировать обрезки; - ножницы; - линейка и инструмент для биговки или все это можно заменить резаком; - клей - в своих работах я использую клей Folia; - различные украшения (ленточки, дырокольные бабочки, цветочки) 1. Из картона вырезаем заготовку 18 х 18 см. (если вы используете лист А4, то удобнее именно такие размеры) 2. Делаем биговку на расстоянии 6 см и 12 см. (у нас получается квадрат, состоящий из 9 равных частей) Как показано на фото) 3. Отрезаем 4 угловых квадрата - и у нас готова основа самой коробочки 4. Нарезаем нашу скрапбумагу на квадраты 5,8х5,8 см. нам понадобится 10 таких квадратов - результат интересней, когда скрапбумага разного дизайна. 4. Раскладываем нашу скрапбумагу на основу и приклеиваем или пришиваем. 5.Теперь приступим к изготовлению верхней части: из листа скрапбумаги 15х15 см вырезаем квадрат 8,2 х8,2 см - это будет наша верхняя часть коробочки. 6. Делаем биговку на расстоянии 1 см от края с каждой стороны 7. По краям делаем диагональные надрезы как показано на фото 8. И отрезаем половинки Сначала одну половинку целиком Потом отрезаем половинку оставшейся половинки:) как на фото 9. Загибаем и склеиваем. (у нас получается верхняя часть, которую можно украсить цветами и лентами.) а вид нижней половинке вот такой - По желанию саму коробочку украшаем бабочками - бабочки дыроколим / вырезаем и наклеиваем на небольшие полоски прозрачного пластика (я использую тот, который продается с силиконовыми штампами). Полосочки сгибаем и приклеиваем ко дну. Место склеивания закрываем цветами.. или тортиком... На боковых стенках можно написать поздравление.. А на крышку можно подвесить маленькую открыточку... можно декорировать коробочку сизалем... это придаст серединке объем и воздушность Magic-box предоставляет огромную СВОБОДУ ТВОРЧЕСТВА и возможность реальзовать вашу фантазию, а также универсальна в использовании - может быть и открыткой, и коробочкой, и неожиданным подарком." Вероника, огромное спасибо за такой подробный урок. Очень все подробно и понятно расписано. Всем желающим окунуться в творческий мир Вероники даем ссылку на ее блог - Весеннее творчество
