Xyron and Paper House Blog Hop



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, 

Rhea

  3. That'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.

  4. Fantastic! 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!
