A SPECIAL "CASE" INDEED

Another late night filled with crafting. I woke at 12 am and the coughing did not ease enough for me to sleep until 3am, no exaggeration! I am utterly exhausted and to cap it all off, somewhere between Saturday afternoon and the small hours of Sunday I have managed to pick up a cold.


Well that's quite enough of the self pity and on to today's project, hoorah! 


Have you ever made a CD for a friend or loved one? Perhaps you recorded a special message or made a compilation of their favourite songs? I have never done this I must admit, far too complicated. My twin sister on the other hand is forever "burning" a CD or two and has complained before about how dull the case is and how nice it would be if you could get personalised and/or pretty outer covers. 


I came up with this...

I took the case apart and placed designer series paper inside the back cover.

You'll notice that I have used cardstock and ink from the Earth Elements Colour Family, I think these colours are to die for!

Cardstock: More Mustard and Old Olive, a bit of textured More Mustard for the belly band

Ink: Versa Mark, Chocolate Chip and More Mustard

Stamp Sets: Cheer and Wishes, Circle Circus and Vintage Labels (retired)

Accessories: Silver Elastic cord, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 1/4" circle punch and  Designer series paper, corner rounder

JUST A TINY FAVOUR

Haven't I been making a lot of cards lately; back to my roots!


I don't really do a lot of "box" work, purely because I've had know idea where to begin. Lately though, I have been collecting packaging from here and there to use as templates. For a new crafter like myself, this is a great way to get started.


This project uses a tiny KFC Popcorn chicken box, I thought it was so cute that once Cameron had finished with it (a once and while treat folks) I spirited it away. 


Whilst putting the box together I decided to "make it my own" by turning it upside down and snipping off the bottom tabs. Great for party favours I think!
