New Boxer Board from Crafters Companion

Please Scroll Down a bit to see my TSG Day Two Sneak Peak!!!

Hi All. I am here today to share with you a project that I made with the new Boxer and Envelobox Boards for The Ultimate Crafters Companion. For my project I decided to make the little suitcase box and I chose to put a few pieces of stationery in it. The pretty paper I used was from the Fairyopolis Line of products. I used the Ultimate Crafters Companion for cutting and for creating the little bows on my cards in the box. I also decorated the box with some pretty daisies that I painted with the Paint Fusion Supplies. Let me just say that this project came together in no time thanks to the super easy and detailed directions that Sara gives on the Advanced Construction Techniques DVD. I have made box projects in the past and none of them EVER came out as perfect as this box did. All my corners were always off a tad but with the Boxer Board your dimensions come out PERFECT!!! You will love the results of all your projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope you are enjoying your day!!!

Paint Fusion with Crafters Companion

At Crafters Companion a super easy and fun painting technique was just released. It is Sheena Douglases Paint Fusion. All instructions and everything you will need to create beautiful art work can be purchased as a bundle or seperately. You can check all of the goodies out right here.

For my card today I used the Daisies Stamp set and painted with the Royal and Langnickel brushes. I used white and tide pool paint for my daisies and I just followed the directions given on the CD and with just alittle bit of practice this is what I was able to create. I have never painted a picture in my life so for a first timer I am pretty proud of this.

So take a moment and go check out this fun painting technique. You will be amazed at what you too can create. I will be back next week for Crafters Companion to share a project made with the new Crafters Companion Boards.
