Hello Kitty Boxes

Hello!  Happy Monday!  Can't believe there are only 2 more months of school left and it'll be summer soon.  This year is really flying by and my kids are growing so fast!  Wish everything could slow down a bit.  In between some DT projects, I've been trying to make some Hello Kitty boxes.

This is the first box I made using La-La Land's Trinket Box Kit.  I love these little boxes and it does take some time to put everything together but so worth it in the end.  This Hello Kitty is from an older Sizzix die and it's all pieced together with some crushed velvet cardstock.  Sorry if the photo seems a bit bright.  All that gold cardstock seems to throw the color off.

Here is a different angle to show the layering of Hello Kitty's heart and arm.

This is the inside.  I used some washi paper I purchased online from Hanko Designs.  These are so pretty!

Here's another box using a different Hello Kitty die but same idea.

The inside of this box.

I've been hoping to make more of these but time is always a factor and I don't even have a regular job!  Wish I could manage my time better in between all the housework and kids' stuff. 

Thanks for visiting!

Sister Stamps Release #20 -- Minako

Hello!  Sister Stamps is back from the holiday break with their 20th release which will be available Saturday, February 1st.  Now, have you been checking out Jenny's introductory posts about each of these new images?  If not, you should because she's got prizes!  These new images are so versatile and perfect for any occasion cards and projects. 

Here is Minako.  Sweet, isn't she?  I love her serene and peaceful pose and smile.  I had to add a little bird friend from Misaki.  They are having a conversation.  This is a little box from La-La Land Crafts that you can decorate however you like.  I wanted to create a gold box since I'm kind of fixated on that gold paper.  Isn't it amazing when you emboss it too?  I love that floral embossing on the bottom.  The corner dies are also from La-La Land Crafts.  I didn't add a sentiment to this because I didn't think it needed one.  But it would be great for Girl's Day or Valentine's or a birthday too.

Here is a side view.

Inside of the box.  I added gold to all the sides of the inner box.  You can see the reflection of the washi paper on the inside.

Please check out more previews from the Sister Stamps DT.

Before I go, I just wanted to say how stinkin' cold and windy it is here!  Typing again with gloves and socks and even wore jeans that I usually only wear when it's cold.  But at least the sun is shining today, not like yesterday when it was totally gloomy all day.  Hopefully it passes soon so we can get our normal weather back.

I'll be back tomorrow and thanks for stopping by today!

Last Christmas Post

Hello!  I think this is my last Christmas related post.  I wanted to share this little box that I altered.

This little box is from La-La Land Crafts.  It is only 4x4 inches and it's so cute!  It is the perfect size for a small gift.  I added a gift card inside.  I love these little kits from La-La Land Crafts.  Their dies are pretty awesome too. 

Here is a close up of the image called Jill - Spirit of Christmas which is from Tiddly Inks.  I thought it was a very sweet image perfect for gift giving.  I printed this image a bit smaller so it would fit nicely onto the box.

Here is how it looks when opened.  You can decorate all the sides of the box before adhering it down.  Hopefully the glue is strong and it doesn't fall apart!

I plan on ordering more of these little boxes.  Maybe I'll try one of their larger kits too.  They have such amazing looking shadow boxes.

Thanks so much for visiting!
