woohoo! finally! here it is. thanks to vimeo which i found on Simone's website. much better than photobucket for the longer vids. it just didn't like my other one. and that's what took so long to get this up here. i had to make two. the first one was just far too long.
anywho, posted my original project here...so take a peek for variations on embellishing the projects. i had originally used it as a valentine's gift for michael's teacher. also, check this fab-o blog (where i got the idea)...so here goes!
Supply List for one Magic Box:
- 1 piece 8.5x8.5 cardstock (outer lid)
- 2 pieces 6x12 cardstock (outer box)
- 4 pieces 2-7/8x5 cardstock (inner lids)
- 4 pieces 8x8 cardstock (inner boxes)
- Bone Folder
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Scissors
- 4 brads
- super tacky adhesive like Art Accentz Terrifically Tacky Tape
I recommend thicker cardstocks like plain Bazzill, Crate Paper, Cosmo, BG, etc. Feel free to coordinate all different patterns for the different pieces of the project. Two sided papers are great to coordinate on the inner lids.
