I just love how designing for teams challenges me to use different products and styles of materials. This project is a result of a Co-Hop with both Xyron and Paper House. There are a ton more great projects to be seen over at Ain't She Crafty as well as Paper House. For my inspiration I was supplied with the Generations Paper Pad. A few sheets of this lovely paper and my Xyron Mega Runner and I made this cute display in just over an hour!
I swear that using Xyron products makes my crafting so much quicker and efficient.
The texture on the Graphic 45 Staples Box was achieved simply with Distress Stain. I spritzed and flicked lots of water to get the stains to react.
When embellishing this box I decided to add the Tim Holtz curio knob. I thought it made it look like a cabinet instead of a box.
To frame it out, more Tim Holtz materials I had on hand. Also notice that I popped out each frame to add some interest.
I hope you enjoyed today's project. Be sure to hop around for tons more inspiration from around the world.
Cheers,

Very nice piece.
ReplyDeleteThat's a staples box? Whoa, I thought it was wood! Great use of the distress stains. Such a fun and happy piece. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I would never have guessed this was a staples box. My first thought was that you repurposed a "thrift store find"...you are one talented, creative artist!
ReplyDeleteIncredible!
