Decopatched Star Boxes

Hi all,

I finally finished off some star shaped boxes so I'm going to share them today.
They are from the Bare Basics range, decorated with Papier Patch deco sheets, all from Docrafts.

I'm glad I finished these as I got to use up the last few stickers on sheets that had been sitting in my sticker box for a While..

The first one is the larger one, it's decorated with apothecary print paper which I painted with pale pink Distress Paint once the sheets had dried so the black of the paper wasn't as harsh. I then added Madame Payraud stickers and an accordion flower.

The star boxes are hard to decopatch because of their awkward shape.

Here's the second one, the smallest one. They are so easy to decorate because they don't need a lot to look pretty.

I think they would make nice little gift boxes if you put a nice jewellery set in with some pretty tissue paper.

Thanks for stopping by!

More docrafts makes, plus I wrote a poem...

Hi everyone!

I've a lot of unfinished projects at the moment - 

So instead of getting on with them, I wrote a poem...

Some of my makes for docrafts are live on their site now,

The first are some adorable little pillow gift boxes using this download with the Papermania Little Meow Collection.

The second thing is a piece I'm really proud of - a scrapbook page I made for my trial for the Design Team. I was sent basic supplies, coloured paper and a paperclip die set. All my ideas for this brief focused on colour and I'd always wanted to use this ferris wheel photo in a layout. 

This 8x8" page is made using the Feeling Fruity? download, a lovely summery collection. 

                                       
The last is a card using the Thread Effect  download, blue and brown patterns that work great with the Craft Collection Pastels products.

Find out more about my makes in my docrafts gallery

Today I am going into town and to the Range with my fella. Hopefully I can find that neon cardstock I mentioned in the video! Haha

Oh, and an update on the Chilli situation from last weekend.

I can happily report that it was the best chilli I'd ever made and my family loved it!
