Today is day 3 of the Sneeky Peeks for The Cat's Pajamas Stamps. Have you had a chance to check out the last 2 days? If not, check them out here.
Today I am sharing with you an altered box and matching card using the new set called Patterned Petal. There are so many ideas of how this set can be used and I decided on making this box.
This box I had for a while sitting around my stash of alterables and thought it would make for a fun box with this set. I used Basic Grey's collection of Sultry for the papers used and inks from Memento. The window in the center was made as a "shaker" type having some rhinestones in it. Using paper from the collection and a sentiment from the set, I created the center window. The top was decorated using the stamps and coordinating die set to decorate around. The flourish is a beautiful large one that has lots of possibilities, but I decided to break it up a bit for a different look. The center of the flowers are popped up and popped up around the frame and rhinestone flourish. To complete it, sequins and larger rhinestones were added.
A side view:
The legs for the box were made using some repurposed wooden thread spools that I hot glued to the bottom. The sides were decorated using some pleated ribbon to be attached all around and large rhinstones added to each corner.
The inside:
I kept the inside pretty simple so it can be used for various things and not have the opportunity to have whatever is placed inside get ruined. I stamped anotherh sentiment from the set on the inside lid and added a small ribbon to act as the handle to open the box and a button for another element.
The card I made was to mimic a bit of this box having the same window center look.
The window panel was created using some Spellbinder dies and attaching some patterned paper with a sentiment stamped directly onto that before popping it up over the pattered paper panel. Again, cutting up the flourish die cut out, a different look was created, while the flowers were popped up on top. I added some sparkle with my Wink Of Stella pen for some added shine on top of the rhinestones added throughout. Here is a closer look:
