Altered Cigar Box

Namaste Guys

I love altering things and have you seen the New Collection from Prima The Cigar Box Secret!! Oh name is is so enticing and the papers are even more so!

I had This box and I wanted to alter it.  This was a plain kraft colored MDF box!!

Steps to Alter

Step No. 1

I painted the edges with Black soot distress daubers. All the edges inside out. then used my heat tool to dry it out and repeated the procedure as MDF soaks up paint. and dried it again!!

Step No. 2

I chose the paper I wanted and simply measured each of the sides and cut at 1/8th" less, this way I had a nice black border all around and adhered the paper after i had inked it with Vintage Photo distress ink.

Step No. 3 

Repeated the same process on the inside. Just measure, cut, ink and adhere.

Step No. 4

I Used Alcohol inks to stain the metal hardware, I should have done it before i glued the paper but it was fine!!

I also, stained some hardware metal corners for embellishing the top!!

Step No. 5

I backed an MDF clock cutout with some pattern paper and glued it to the top and then took another swirly MDF pattern and glued it down , In the end I created a bouquet of flowers are around my two MDF pieces.

Hope you like it!!

Halloween themed Love Mini Album -DT Debut

Namaste guys

   I cannot Begin to Explain how super excited I am for this awesome opportunity To be part of the DT for Crafter's Corner!! This is truly a dream come true and I thank Shalini with all of my heart! And am looking forward to have a crafty blast with my fellow DT's Sonia and Arjita!! 

And I sincerely hope i can inspire you guys and introduce as many fun projects as I can!!

So, now a little about the project, this project is made from the first Pattern Paper stack that I bought!! It was 5 years ago that I met Shalini and I touched pattern paper for the first time! This paper is so beautiful and special I could never bring myself to cut it so, I have hoarded it for 5 years!! I kid you not, I have!!:D . But for this special occasion I thought what better excuse to finally use it for my Debut DT project!!

I have been planning this album for the last 5 years since I bought this paper. I wanted to keep the color scheme Black and Red!
