"Altered Tissue Box" with Amy Voorthuis

 Good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the 2Crafty Chipboard blog. For today I want to show you  a altered tissue box made with a bunch of my favorite 2Crafty Chippies. This box is based on my daily job as a optician. Vanessa made me some amazing tabs with all words used in optics and I used three of them on my box. I made this for at my job to show in the lunch area. For this I used a golden oldy collection from 2012.....enjoy my post!

Olde Curiosity Shoppe Tissue Box:

Wonderful 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Giant Gears 
Foliage Set 12
Cassie Flourish
Frame Flourish 5
Frame Madeline Flourish
Francesca's Journal Frames

I altered most of my chippies with some white gesso then for the frames I used my aqua & alcohol markers in different colours. Normally I love to add a bunch of phrases & words but for this one I used none which was a huge test for me lol...

For the giant gears I altered those with some brown rust paste after I primed them with two layers of white gesso. After that I added two of them on top of each other with some glue and a huge brad to add some demension. The tabs Vanessa made for my I left them in their raw state which look the best on my box.  

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project soon hope to see you back then....

"Altered Box" with Amy Voorthuis

 Well hello there crafty friends, 
I am very delighted you are her with us, for today I'd like to share a altered box that I created for my colleague who is leaving us to enjoy her well deserved pension. Although it's with a raw edge since she heard that her cancer is back since the beginning of march {throughout her bones this time} but that doesn't keep her from being a very positive lady and I really admire her for that and so much more. This box holds cards from her colleagues who worked with her a lot longer then me, since I started working there september 2023. But that doesn't mean I didn't make her a card,  I of course did and a nice box to hold them in, in her favorite color yellow. Enjoy this post.....

Amaze Yourself:

2Crafty Chipboard used:
Skeleton Leaves
BeeYoutiful Set
Oversized Flower Stem Set
Fine Word Set 2
Amaze Yourself
Mini Word Set 3

You know what's amazing, you can order directly from the
2Crafty website here so you can also play with their amazing chipboard pieces.

I painted the oversized flower stem set with some spray paint and a pencil in defferent colors. But fistly I cut them up and only used pieces of them. For the skeleton leaves I used the same technique. Undertneath the big green piece of paper there is a picture of "Riek" but I wasn't sure if she wanted me to post it online so I didn't. 

The words & phrases are threated with two layers of white gesso after that I added some white shiny embossing powder {three layers} then I added some stained wood wax on all of tehm some a little more then the other. The beeyoutiful set was only altered with white gesso and tucked in flower clusters. 

  Thank you so much for stopping by I will be back later this month with another project hope to see you back then....
