I wanted to make a box with lids made from the Labels 1 dies from Spellbinders. I had this darling little
Fairy Tales set of stamps and knew that a little girl's box to save her dreams and wishes was the perfect use!

The little mushrooms in the set are sweet. There are 3 sizes. I stamped them each twice. Once in a soft sage and once in a creamy brown. Then I cut them apart and adhered the green top to the brown bottom. Some Stickles were added for that girly glitter.

The little fairy comes separate from her wings, giving you a lot of creative flexibility. I stamped her wings on vellum with Watermark ink. When the ink was wet, I coated it with glitter. When I cut the wings out, I left excess on the side I was going to adhere, that way, I could bend up with wings. The fairy and her wand were also stamped on vellum, and they were glittered too. :)

Here is what the base and lid looked like before they were decorated. I will be using this again. (apologizing now :))
The box was very easy to make. Below is the template I drew based on my box:
Supplies:Stamps-H&M Stamps (Fairy Tales)
Patterned paper-Webster's Pages
Ink-Watermark, Colorbox Chalk (Sage, Creamy Brown, Dark Brown, Lavendar)
Glitter-Stampendous (Snow)
thanks for stopping by!!

Oh, Kim ... I just discovered this box, and it is beautiful!! I would love to make one for my granddaughter. I've printed out the basic instructions, but I have a quick question for you ...
Do you make a lid for the box, then adhere the Labels 1 Nestabilities as a cover? OR are the Labels 1 Nestabilities the lid? :) (I'm a newbie at this ... can you tell?)
Thanks for any help you can provide!! This and your entire blog ARE AWESOME!!
