Paper Sweeties February Designer Spotlight!

 
 
 
 
 
 

Hi Friends!

I'd like to share with you today my project I made for Paper Sweeties.  Each month Debbie highlights one of the designers on the Paper Sweeties team.  And, this month is my month to be in the spotlight...how fun!  I know it's past Valentine's Day, but I decided to go with a heart theme in reds and pinks...my favorite colors!  And, I wanted to decorate this box to store lots of wonderful Paper Sweeties bits and bobs such as ribbon, twine, sequins and straws! 

I started with a heart shaped box and painted it with white and then pink.  Here is a side view of the heart box....


An inside view of all the Paper Sweeties *yummy* goodies of seam binding ribbon, sequins, baker's twine and straws!

 



A closer view of the lid...


The lid of the box was covered in paper and then with a scalloped felt heart.  Pink doilies were placed with white pom pom trim.  A die cut frame with vellum and glitter applied behind Emma, Sophie, and Abigail and coordinating dies.  They were colored with copics and paper pieced.  Emma's little outfit is from the stamp set Live Love Grow and her shoes from Enjoy Your Day.  Sophie's dress and shoes are from the stamp set You Are Special.  Abigail's dress and shoes are from the stamp set Enjoy Your Day.  The little bird is from the set Home Tweet Home  And, the sentiment is from the set Live Love Grow.  The bow was made using Pink Bubblegum seam binding ribbon.

I just wish you could see this box in person with all the glitter and shine! I really enjoyed making it!  Debbie designs the sweetest stamps and has lots of added *new* pretty little things in her shop.  Won't you stop over and take a peek?  I'm sure you'll have lots of fun shopping!  Thanks so much for dropping by today!

Hugs,
Maria
