What could be better than to give a loved one something?
To present a gift effectively, I make nice boxes to do so.
Be it for jewelry, candy, books, etc. - for all you can make great boxes.
But the box itself is a wonderful gift idea.
Show me your boxes!
As "given away" for something or as preserves things?
I'm curious about your boxes.
So with Arwen curious about boxs I thought what could I do a little differnt that was a box ...... I came up with the idea of a bird box, here it is.....
My Stampotique bird box that will be given to a little girl who loves animals of all kinds.
Here are some step by step photos of how I made it...
That's all the layers of paint and the grunge paste done!!!!!!
Lots of sanding then had to be done....,,.
Then I stamped this Stampotique sentiment
Then I stamped Roc's scalloped boarder, followed by some more stamping, of Jo Capper-Sandons mushrooms.
These are the stampotique rubber stamps I used...
Then it was time for glueing, sticking, colouring etc
Once everything was stuck down ...... I had my little bird box!
What a fun challenge Arwen set us this week .... Now it's over to you to make a box and show us at the Stampotique Designers Challenge Blog, there is a chance to win a $30 voucher to spent at Stampotique.com

Well, Jackie, you were really thinking "outside of the box" for this challenge! Love your bird box with all its great detail. A great array of stamps, with your text stamp making this project perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've been going through a bit of an altered birdhouse phase myself lately and absolutely love what you've done here. That smidge of texture on the front is perfect and I really like the moss and eaves too. She will be delighted for sure.
