The Buckle Boutique bunny box and gift bag!

Oh. My. Cuteness.

Feast your eyes on this adorably blinged out Easter bunny!!!!
It was so easy to do since the rhinestone sheets are self adhesive!

I had so much fun using my punch that I punched out some matching rhinestones to adorn the butterfly tag that came with the gift bag.

And it was super easy to cut a strip of green rhinestones to trim the bag with! 

How easy to jazz the simple bag up!!

I just loooooooooooveeeeeeeee how she turned out!!

I admit I don't make too many handmade gifts but I do love presenting my gifts in one of a kind boxes. :)

I paint the insides, cover the outside with paper and ribbons and adorn with embellishments like flowers and in this case, a sparkly butterfly.

I am showcasing Helmar's Liquid Scrap Dots today on the blog hop and I made a very short video which shows how I used it when adding the butterfly. It's very fun and easy to use, extremely forgiving!

My secret word is "by", make sure to collect them all!

tissue box

I signed up ( with a few of my friends ) to get a Krylon Mystery box.

FUN!

We got 2 cans of Short Cut spray paint ( I got gold and black )

some buttons

fabric

burlap

 and a small wood crate from Walnut Hollow

In order to participate we agreed to write a blog post and show what we made.

I made a tissue box, very simple and classic.

 I really lucked out color wise as my bedroom is black and gold too :)

I began my lightly sanding inside the handles and then spray painting the box black. I cut out a cover and stapled it on to the top of the box and sprayed it also with the black paint which covered up the staples. This gave me a hinge to open and close my box.

I used the metallic gold spray paint on one of the tan buttons and the burlap to dress them up a bit. I cut circle flowers out of the white fabric and adhered them with Helmar's 450.

And something fun to watch for all the crafters and Pinterest addicts out there....you know who you are....

So here is another altered box of chocolates that I made to sell in the Art MoB.

I used Sakura Glaze pens to color in, Faber Castell PITT pens to outline and layers of Ranger Distress Crackle, stickles and lace to finish it off.

Acrylic paint

 A fast-drying synthetic paint made from acrylic resin. Acrylic is a fast-drying water-based “plastic” paint valued for its versatility and clean up with soap and water.

You may have heard about my little Royal challenge, to make your own crown. Well, I so enjoyed making my crowns that I couldn't stop at 2, so here is my third one. I attached it to a recycled ribbon tube and made a tiny Treasure Keepsake box out of it.

Foil paper, flower, distress glitter and sentiment from the January Kit from Frosted Designs

The tube was painted with Deco Arts Metallic acrylic paint, boy, is it a smooth consistency! I just love the Ranger Distress Glitter, I sprinkled it on top of the lid and look.....awesome, huh?

The crown itself was made using Helmar's Fabric Stiffner & Draping Liquid which was formed around a ( pardon me ) toilet paper tube roll. The little seed beads come from the December Kit from Frosted Designs and were hand sewn on ( thank you Jamie for the magnifying glass for Christmas, just saying! ). The lace and gold band are misc. notions from JoAnns. 

The inside of the box has a cute little saying...:) doodled with the Sakura pens and embellished with Ranger Liquid Pearls and stickles.

Oh be still my beating heart, how I would love to get a one of a kind box of chocolates! This one happens to be a box of Godiva's that I wouldn't mind sinking my teeth into! I took a box of chocolates and altered the top with a vintage print and some inks and glazes.

After spraying my paper with Helmar Crystal Cote Gloss Varnish ( because my printer is a ink jet, and the ink would smear ), I then used my Sakura Glaze pens to color over the image.

I added some sweet vellum wings to the cupids for a little extra dimension. 

I LOVE adding the Ranger Crackle Paint on top of everything to give it a real vintage feel to it. Look at all those yummy cracks ♥

I think the lace around the outside edge of the box is the perfect touch for any feminine lady.

also used:

Ranger stickles, distress stickles, and liquid pearls
