Je T'aime, Valentine

Bonjour, mes amies! Lauren here, with a Valentine gift idea that could work at any time of year, really. I started with an inexpensive papier mache box and a heart punch, added lots of fun Eyelet Outlet embellishments-- including my beloved Eiffel Tower Brads-- and here's what I came up with:

I do love banners! They are easy and fun to make, and can be adapted to literally any occasion. For this one I punched medium sized hearts and tiny circles, then got right to the FUN PART: embellishing! In addition to Eiffel Tower Brads, I've got some Star Brads, Swirl Bling, Paper Flowers and Heart-Shaped Pearls.

My favorite Paris Love Washi solved the biggest problem I've had in the past when decorating little boxes: how to neatly cover the edge of the lid? Washi is not only the perfect size for this job, it's also self-adhesive! I added a band of Skinny Hearts Washi to the bottom of the box, as well.

I wanted the top of the box to coordinate with the banner, so I used the same elements, again--Eiffel Tower Brads, Swirl Bling and Paper Flowers --but made them a little more prominent, to suit the size and shape of the lid.

One of the things I like about this idea is its flexibility. Whether your Valentine loves Italy, Dinosaurs, Sports or Gardening, Eyelet Outlet has a brad for that!

I hope you'll be inspired to make something extra special for your Valentine this year!

a few details:

I adore combo of kraft, white, red and gold - think it's a classic colors for any festive project ))))) Here I also used my favourite tip - add gold washi tape on the cardstock and then used star die. Looks like gold cardstock but cheaper and you always can make any accent you need with this technique ))))

Here is the full list of products:

Cardinal Brads
6MM Jewel Brads - Silver Edge - Green
12mm Jewel Bling - Clear Edge
Foil Washi Tape - Gold
Foil Washi Tape - Gold Stripe
Swirl Bling - Jewel Red

Hope you will like my project ))))

Bling Pumpkin Boxes

I have had these fun little pumpkin jack-o-lantern boxes for ages. I picked them up at Michael's years ago from the clearance section after Halloween waiting for the perfect project. So here we go, glammed up pumpkins with sequins and gems perfect for a box for teachers or a friend!!

Here is a video tutorial on how I made these fun boxes.

Some of the project I did as a live event - here is the live video - with some other pumpkins too!

Some of the boxes I used the Eyelet Outlet stickyback bling strips for the edges for a fun effect. I used a champagne and clear colors in 2 different sizes.
