More Paper Than Shoes Guest Spot for July Last Post.

Here is my last post for my guest post with More Paper Than Shoes for July. I know the post is a little late but here is the best for last.

This cute wall hanging was made with a plaque I purchased from Michaels.  I have been wanting to make a letter for a long time and these flowers were perfect for it. My paper is from DCWV. I added some extra Mulberry flowers and some lace butterflies that I sprayed with Glimmer Mist. I have Inked and Stickled the edges. I was also lucky enough to win a bear from Precious Piecings off of ebay that I just loved and stuck in the middle.  Some of the other embellishments I used are Pearls, Buttons, Stick Pins, and some lace ribbon. I also used an SVG file from Beary Sweet Designs for my vines. I just love how this came out.

This cute wall hanging was made with a plaque I purchased from Michaels. I painted it purple and I know it's hard to tell from the pictures but I sprayed about 4 coats of Fully Purple Glimmer Mist. Some of my embellishments are buttons and mulberry flowers. The large wings in the background are from Jolees Rock Star Stickers and I just removed the guitar from them. The Butterfly bubble is from K and Company. And ofcourse the very pretty handmade flowers are from More Paper Than Shoes from the Pillow Talk Line. You can purchase them ---HERE---

Tag your it with More Paper Than Shoes

Well in the awesome package of flowers that Anna sent me for my guest spot for More Paper Than Shoes for July I still had two flowers left to play with after I made the box, and if you missed it click ---HERE--- to check it out with a full tutorial. I decided to make this cute tag. 

On a shopping trip to Joann's I picked up this cute Hummingbird and wasn't quite sure what I was going to use it for but loved it and when I started making the tag I knew he would look pretty on it.

All the flowers were sprayed with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.  I also made my own stick pin and the film tape is from Tim Holtz Idea-Ology line. I added some ribbon and mulberry flowers from my stash. My little name tag was make with Spellbinders and everything was inked with Colorbox Ink. My background paper is from DCWV the Mariposa Stack.

I Have A Guest Spot with More Paper Than Shoes for July

Most people know how much I adore Anna of More Paper Than Shoes and her creative talents. By now most people know who she is and the beautiful flowers she makes, if not check her blog out --HERE--. 
Well you can image how excited I was when she asked me to be her guest designer for July, I was jumping up and down. So when she sent me my peg board kit for the Ustream Class she added the flowers in there for me. I went looking around Michaels to see what I could make with the flowers and this cute little box jumped out at me. I have made a few shaker cards before and thought that this would make an awesome Shaker Box, I never made one before.

Now for a fun tutorial on making this cut very easy box.

Here is what the box looks like before you start.

First start with removing all the hardware for the box, all latches and hinges. Then paint the box white. You don't have to worry about painting the entire box just what will show. After I painted it white I added some Satin Varnish to protect the paint and add a shine to it. 

Then I took each side of the box and measured and cut the paper out to match each side, my paper is from DCWV the Mariposa Stack and inked all the edges of the paper with Vintage Photo Distressed Ink.

After I attached the paper to everywhere but the top I added all the hardware back on the box.

 Here is a look at the top of the box before I add the glitter.

I added some glitter from Art Glitter Gala Glitz- Gold and cut a piece of clear acetate to the size of the box and glued it down.

Then I added the top pieces of my paper to cover over the acetate.

Then I added my flowers that Anna sent me and added some Glimmer Mist to them. I picked up some pretty beaded pearls I got from Joann's and added them with the flowers. Now if you read my other post on my peg board I said that the leaves and vines that were sent with the kit I used on another project well this was the project. I thought that they looked really pretty on this box.

Now to get some of these pretty flowers or to learn about the classes that Anna teaches you can get all the information you need ---HERE--- on Anna's blog.
