I saw a Recessed Frame Chipboard Book Box on the Calico Crafts website and I decided to make an Olde Curiosity Shoppe from Graphic 45 paper.
I painted the spine of the book with distress stains, vintage photo and walnut stains which gave it a vintage appearance. I cut out the title of the book "Olde Curiosity Shoppe" from 12"x12" paper, the other words came from the 8"x8" pad "Optical Oddities"
I covered the inside of the box with 8"x8" paper from Graphic 45.
The above image is the back of the book. I will follow this post up with a booklet made to go inside it. Happy crafting!
Hi Carol, your box book is fabulous, I love those papers, I have some but don't want to cut into them, but after seeing this beauty I may just have to! Crafty hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteOooh! Carol this is fabulous, I love these papers and you have put them to good use to create a stunning box, really love it xx
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, and such a lot of work and thought put into it. There is so much to look at. I love the lady. She is obviously longing for something in the shop. I think it may be the bottle with the butterflies in it. Can't wait to see the rest of it when you have done it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! I love it. The papers are stunning... my fave is the one with all the old apothecary bottles.
ReplyDeleteWow that looks wonderful Carol! I love the papers you've used - so gorgeous. It must have taken ages. Looking forward to seeing your booklet.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well.
