Docrafts team blog hop: Matchbox Madness

The Docrafts Project Design Team are back with another team hop and this month we challenged each other to make a match box shrine. So here is mine which i made using the Nature's Gallery range.

I started with a template that i had printed onto card and covered both sides with patterned paper and scored the lines on both sides so i can fold the flaps.

I used adhesive lace on the edges of the box and then made a bow with jute twine and glued it down. The flower is made from the mulberry flowers from Papermania and i spritzed them with Artiste Cardinal Red ink.

I used the die-cuts from the Nature's Gallery Ultimate decoupage kit.

Docrafts Team July Blog Hop: Interactive Elements

The mechanism is made from a separate sheet of card and you just cut a circle out of it and then take the cut out bit and cut a smaller circle out of it. When you stick it to the card only add 3d foam to the corners otherwise the spinner bit get stuck.

The Spinner is two pennies stuck together with a large 3d dot and a metal charm stuck to that.

There wasn't much space left on the card so i added small embellishments and paper strips to the edges.

I used the mini Gorjuss Girl decoupage that came free with one of the Creativity mag gifts.

 I used the Oyster Blush paper range with the Ever After range as they  work well together. The collection has lots of lovely little bits in it like ribbon bows and charms.

You cant have a wedding card without pearls

i made an origami heart by cutting the 6x6 velum inserts in half and folding them. i then filled the pockets with sequins and glued them shut.

The mini pegs are a nice modern touch and can be altered in a number of ways.

There is a large selection of trims and ribbons in this range which is suitable for wedding stationary

                                 
                               Here is a simple card design that could be used as an invite

Emboss stamped sentiments with embossing powder so that they make more impact

                  Thank you for Hopping along with us and i will be back with more inspiration later.
