Princess Box



I am a Guest Designer today for Sassy and I made this Princess Box from the Sweet Treats cartridge.






I opened a 12 x 24 mat on my Gypsy and grouped the box & crowns and sized them 3" tall. I ungrouped them and moved the crowns under the box on the mat. I changed the size of the mat to 12x12.




I added a second page and copied the crowns onto it. I flipped one crown (side to side) and added the hearts and swooshes sized to 3 inches.





I cut out the box using double sided paper from a Heritage style of paper that I bought a long time ago. One side is black with small grey and white flowers and the other side has words and signatures (from mail) in creme, black and gold.




I used a metalic gold paper to cut out the crowns and the handle. I cut the heart out of hot pink and the swooshes out of black. My pink paper did not stick the first time. I made sure my file was saved THEN I deleted everything from the page except the hearts and re-cut. I did not save these changes.





I scored the box but kept it flat so I could glue on the crowns.



I ran the crowns through the xyron and stuck them on the box.



I used Golden Rod stickles to add details to the crown and outline the heart I used diamond stickles on the swoosh.





I originally planned on using hot pink ribbon for the handle. The ribbon would not stay up and the gold paper looked better, so I switched. To cover up the hole on the side of the box, I put a hot pink gem.






I added part of my hot pink boa inside the box, since that was my inspiration for using pink instead of red.

Many of you know I have all boys (dirty, stinky boys ~ he he) and I don't make many sparkly, feathery projects. This was fun!

Lori...love your crown bag/basket. Adorable!

I am behind on mostly everything and I couldn't stop by prior to today. I am sure you know how it gets. I did not realized you are on Pam's Gyptian's designer crew, lol. I love the Gyptian's name.
