This is incredible! I've been a scrapper/teacher for 11 years and have never commented on here. It was just too beautiful not to give you two thumbs up.
So luv what you did with that little box. I have been searching for those boxes. Need three, but can't find even one and I've searched every pssible store in my area - immediate and otheerwise. TFS Demarys
This project is just gorgeous!! I especially love the first tag, with the corset bodice stamp! Do you happen to know the brand or name of this stamp, it is too cute!
Hey Arlene! WHAT-A-BEAUTIFUL-PROJECT!! I was wondering if you remembered where that typewriter stamp set was from? I'm not too sure it's by EK success because I couldn't find it on the internet. Thanks
This is gorgeous Arlene! The box is adorable. Love the metal embellishments. Beautiful tags too. Really love the first one with the dress form! TFS, Hugs, Rachel
what a gorgeous box. i never got the chance to buy those boxes unfortunately. its sad right. i love how you made this. i love all those colors you used. TFS your awesome creations
Wow Arlene! So much for not feeling creative! LOL I have been going through a bit of a block myself. I think I just need an occasion to make a gift for someone. TFS. I have gotten a few ideas I can "lift" from this! Have a great day! Pattie
Arlene, this box and those tags are gorgeous. You are the biggest enabler. Your projects are so great that you have me going to etsy and other sites to pick up the same products. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
The little boxes. We don't seem to have them here. What department are they in. I have been looking too.......... On dry time on acrylic paints. Use hair dryer. Think heat gun would be too hot. Same thing for water based clear acrylic. You can layer super fast that way. To give depth use clear but satin or low shine. I used little dab of brown or ocre to make it look aged.
Beautiful box and tags! I still have to tackle all these boxes I got from Michaels but now I have some wonderful inspiration and ideas thanks to you! Hugs, Gayle
This box and tag set is just simply beautiful, Arlene! It has your special touch and is so full of detail and little treasures! Thank you for sharing with us.
AHHHH!! :O :O omg omg arlene.. my mouth is seriously hanging out to the floor as i type this. this box is AMAZING! i cannot believe its for me.. arlene its stunning. im speechless...seriously... i LOVE the colors and papers and the "T" hehehe! i feel so special. (: i love it all! its perfect! omg theres stuff inside?!?! arlene they are gorgeous i cant pick my favorite tag. lol. they ALL are my favorites!! lol. thank you arlene!! :D thank you so so much! hehe. heck yes broccoli box! ;)
@DreamBigLover I'm glad you like it Tina! I had so much fun creating the box and the tags! Oh, and I made a card for you too, but didn't share it on this vid. Your box shipped today. Can't wait to see you open it! :-) hugs, Arlene
great job. Really super cute. I love the idea of using the 2 different color acrylic paints to come up with one excellent color. Thank you for sharing. The tags by the way are awesome.
Ar, this is gorgeous! I love your style so much! Tina is going to absolutely love it! You are a sweetheart for taking the time to make such a beautiful gift for her! Hugs, Mary >;<
@txlavenderlady Thanks so much for the comment! :-) The dressform stamp is from the "Sew Special" clear stamp set by Crafty Secrets (I purchased it on sale at Joann dot com.) TFW. :-)
Arlene, It's really lovely. How did the wood handle the paint? Was the drying time very long? I have a few of these boxes and was thinking of trying something with it but since it needs to be done friday I was curious about dry time.
@crazygal77 Hi Krista, thanks! The acrylic paint dried pretty fast and I did 2 layers. The layers were very thin so it dried pretty quick. I created the box in one sitting... it took me a little over 1 hour to create the box (not including the tags.) Hope this helps. TFW! :-)
Beautiful Ar! love the altered box and tags, you always do such amazing work! I can't seem to find the metal cement embellies anymore at my Michael's I have never seen the alphas, gonna check my other Michael's maybe they have them. Anyway sorry for rambling LOL. Thanks for sharing!
This is adorable!! I need to get those boxes, but I can't find any! Hopefully I can find a box to alter this weekend when I go on vacation! Wish me luck LOL Thanks for sharing!!
