Pretty Little Boxes with Lizzy

Hey there scrappy friends!

I bet you have a myriad of boxes lying around,

waiting to be scrapped, right?

I wanted some to pop my OS stamps and air mail

stickers in. I'd already up-cycled a tin for my other stamps:

It keeps everything neat and tidy together & took very little effort!

 I simply used PVC glue with paper, then smudged on some gesso

& added some trim & bits:

The 2nd box [for my OS stamps] had a hinged lid:

 This paper had little rhinestones on it. They don't get in the way,

so I left them there!

Boxes make lovely presents, too. You can fill them with

all sorts of things - tea bags, chocolate or biscuits, 

Or garden bits, make up, or even stamps would be great

for some people.... whatever their interests are!

These have a bit of a vintage vibe. But if you have other embellies

& papers you want to use up - use them! I made a memorabilia box for 

a 17 year old boy. Totally different, but equally effective:

Hope this inspires you to get scrappy!!
