Our Creative Corner - Top Talent

Hello Everyone!

I am super excited to be here as the Top Talent Spotlight over at Our Creative Corner! A special honour that I won in October for my Haunted House entry in the Go Rustic Challenge. I was so happy when I won and completely thrilled when Laura asked me to be in the spotlight, AND as you may know, I am now a member of the Design Team as well...it's like Christmas all over again! Thanks again Laura, it's an honour!

In keeping my very first challenge at Our Creative Corner, I have made a project for this month's theme CHRISTMAS LEFTOVERS. I have used the empty box from some Christmas Chocolates and transformed it into a receipt box for 2015, where I will stash all my craft receipts for the year. I do hope you enjoy, I have used lots of new products and techniques! 






HOW DID I DO THAT??

I used Mod Podge to adhere cheesecloth to the top of the box and some lace around the sides. I painted it with White DecoArt Acrylic paint and then used some homemade texture paste and a Memory Box stencil to add a design.



I cut four pieces from the Sizzix/Tim Holtz Hardware Findings die and two pieces of the Spellbinders Labels die out of a nice thick cardboard. I thought it was pretty funny when I turned the pieces over and saw that it read...PLEASE RECYCLE!


Thought I would try a few NEW techniques for this project, so after I glued the layers together, I coated them with thick paste and then treated it like stucco to make a really rough texture. I glued them onto the box.


I glued on all my other bits and baubles and then tried another NEW technique. I globbed on some Mod Podge and then covered the areas with my NEW tarnished brass distress glitter. The frame, the key, the lock on the front and the numbers were all handmade using crafter's clay and various molds.


I painted everything with another coat of DecoArt White Acrylic paint, and then whipped out my two NEW fabulous colours of Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonshadow Mists - Tawny Turquoise and Buccaneer Bay Blue. I also used some Gathered Twigs and Weathered Wood. I just sprayed and sprayed until I liked the look.


Lastly, I highlighted all of the raised areas with gorgeous Pale Pearl Blue and Pearl Champagne paints to give it a dazzling glimmer! This is one project you really need to see in person, it's almost iridescent with all the shimmering colours!

All of these areas that just look like MUD (so despressing) are actually a gorgeous shimmery goldish aqua that I could not seem to get the camera to capture! I hope you get the idea though.







I am entering my Receipt Box into the following wonderful challenges:


That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! If you have any questions, please let me know.

    Thanks so much for your comments ... The allergy could literally be anything ... could be the soap powder who knows? I'm always seeing "New & Improved" makes you think what they added ...

    Since I saw this wonderful "not a chocolate box anymore" project in real life, I can confirm that it does not look like mud and is chock full of texture, glittery gold and a blue that is actually a beautiful aqua shade and not a sky blue as the camera wanted to show it. Another fantastic creation my friend.

The texture is incredible, I love your die choices, and the colors are stunning! I love the pearly blue and the hardware corners. Gosh, I love every inspiring millimeter. You are one of a kind, my sweet friend! I hope you're having a beautiful day. :o)

    Hi Pamellia
    Well slap my thigh and call me Betsy, this is incredible! Your attention to detail is second to none. After your Halloween House, you deserve to be President of the Canadian Craft Association (if there isn't one, there should be lol!)
    As for it being big enough for your craft receipts, I doubt it would fit the ones for the talc, glue and acrylic paint lol!

    AM-AZE-INGLY jaw droppingly gorgeous.

    You have me thinking about boxes - I saw a perfect one in the supermarket this morning and immediately thought of you and what you would do with it LOL. I know I should get stuff together to do what you do - however, I'm not that kind of person, but sometimes, just sometimes after seeing your makes I wish I was.

      What a sweet thing to say Faith!! I do the same thing when I'm shopping now, "hmmmmm, I could use that!", doesn't matter what food is actually inside it! HAHA! Crafters are funny people aren't we! hugs :)

    Absolutely beautiful, another perfect creation! I love how you've transformed something that most people would throw away into something so gorgeous. The blue looks stunning. Congratulations on being in the spotlight!

    P.S. I don't know how you dare keep all your craft receipts! I'd be too scared to look at how much I'd spent at the end of the year...

      Thanks so much Rebecca!! Oddly, the only reason I keep them, is so that I know where I ordered my stuff from, so when I need more I don't have to try and remember. ha! hugs :)

    Oh this is really beautiful, what a transformation!

    A friend sent me a DVD set for my birthday, and it came in a small black cardboard box, very sturdy. Now I am inspired to decorate it! Thank you.

    I'm starring at the screen with my mouth wide open. And I only have one question in my mind ... How can this girl think of all these amazing stuff?! Wow, just wow. You left me totally speechless! I really, really, reeeeeeally hope you will have some art classes one day - and of course that one will be in this teeny tiny country too. If it is, I'm booking the seat in the front row. Spectacular!!!
    Hugs! xx

    Wow, just amazing! I wish I could crawl inside your brain and steal your ideas, and a chunk of your talent too!

    I do have one query though. Are you sure it's big enough to fit ALL your craft receipts for 2015!!!!

    Thanks for sharing with us
