TPBP - DT Project - Banner on a Spool and Gift Box

Hello Everyone,

I have just completed another design team project for The Piece By Piece which can be found at www.thepiecebypiece.com.  I made a Mini Happy Birthday Banner that rolls up on a vintage spool.  This would be perfect for anyone's birthday or any occasion.  The recipient could hang up their banner for the occasion and then when finished with it, roll it back on the spool, and tuck it into the pretty little box to await the next occasion.  I also made a small birthday card to go with the banner.  The box that the spool fits in was just a box I think I had purchased from Michaels some time ago.  It had a dark pattern but I painted it with a creamy pink paint and then covered the edges with paper from the Divinie Collection from Prima.  I also added lace and trim to the box.

I used laces and trims from The Piece By Piece as well as the papers from the Prima Lyric and Divine collections that I had purchased from the store some time ago.   The items used are as follows:
Cream Venice Lace - http://www.etsy.com/listing/155478565/1-yard-venise-lace-in-cream-tl-71-810?ref=shop_home_active
Fancy Shear Lace - http://www.etsy.com/listing/155481289/1-yard-fancy-sheer-lace-7029-cream?ref=shop_home_active
Narrow Celery Silk Ribbon - http://www.etsy.com/listing/155461030/6-yards-silk-ribbon-sk18-celery?ref=shop_home_active
Antique Pink Scallop Trim - http://www.etsy.com/listing/155337288/2-yards-alterablle-scallop-trim-antique?ref=shop_home_active
Cream Galon Lace:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/128170433/1-yard-galon-lace-in-7520-cream?ref=shop_home_active
Pink Lace Trim - Out of Stock
Cream Fan Lace - Out of Stock

I covered the paper on the card and the box with some of the lace trim.  I just love the look.  You can still see the pattern of the paper but it has the lace covering - very similar to the clothing we are seeing in the stores these day.  Designers are covering all kinds of print fabrics with lace.  It is beautiful.

Altered Cigar Box - Tea Party

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to share with you a cigar box I created for the Tea party swap I was in.  I was so pleased with the results.  I get these pictures in my head and am so happy when they come out just as I had envisioned.

Here is the video of my cigar box:

And here is the video of my card and all the swap items all wrapped up.  I just love gift wrapping and presentation, too.

I would love to hear from any of you that are reading any of my posts.  I am new to the blogger scene although I have been creating YouTube videos for over a year.  Would love to know if I should continue to pursue the blogging part.

Thanks so much,
Hugs,
Janet

Heart Shaped Easel Cards and Gift Wrapping

I had to hurry up and make the cards and wrap the bottles that I showed on my last post.  My oldest daughter was going to visit my youngest daughter and I wanted her to take them with her.  So, I made them each an heart shaped easel card and wrapped their bottles up in boxes.  I didn't have time to take individual pictures, but here is the video of the cards and gift wrapping:

Have a lovely day,
Hugs,
Janet

Well, I'm finally getting around to starting a blog.  Still have a lot of work to do on it but I am going to go ahead and just jump in.  I have had a YouTube account for over a year now and have posted several videos but sometimes it is just nice to read a blog:  I created an altered gum box for my granddaughter for Valentine's Day:
