Welcome to the Damask Divas February Blog Hop featuring the For Always paper pack by Close to my Heart. Thanks so much for visiting! If you got here from Roberta’s site, then you are in the right place. If you lose your spot or want to start at the beginning go back to the Damask Divas home page.
I love the black and white patterned papers in this new pack for Spring/Summer 2013. It is very elegant and will lend itself to many different projects. I covered the chipboard card box from CTMH with the For Always papers and silver shimmer trim. The paper flowers were made using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge exclusive to CTMH. The larger flower was cut flat in 3 sizes then I stamped a pattern with black ink then layered with pop dots and put a small black flower in the center. I used the CTMH Chalkboard pen to write Cards on the front (remember – the chalk pen is a marker and is not erasable like chalk; it just looks like chalk in a very nice way). I thought the silver shimmer tape added a nice sparkle. I also added some glitter glue to the edge of the big flower.
Elegant box to store cards or give a nice gift of greeting cards

I put the Chevron paper on the sides of the box and a little swirl on the back with the chalk pen.

Love your projects, Cydney! The box and card are lovely!
Also, thank you so much for having your word verification off!!! Music to my eyes! 🙂
This turned out wonderful! I am loving all the shimmer trim, Cydney. Time to pull out the chalkboard paper again! 😉
Stephanie, I set up a whole new blog so I could get away from Captcha. My http://www.cydneyfowlercreations.com site requires it. Glad you liked the card box too.
Thanks, Amie. That is the chalk maker on plain black CTMH paper. It works great!
Love your project! Great job! Love the glitter trim you used! I love the tip of how the chalk marker can be used on CTMH black cardstock!
This is a very lovely box!! I could so see this sitting on a table awaiting some Dove chocolates, Jelly Belly beans and black licquorice!! A treat on the outside is deserving to have a few treats on the inside. All those details, Cydney, I am enthused!!
Beautiful projects. Love the box with the glitter trim and the flowers. The card is so pretty. Great job!!
I really like this box, the top really catches your eye 🙂
Beautiful little box!
A beautiful box that would be on display in a prominent location all of the time.
I just made this box this week. I love the box and it’s so versatile to use with any paper. Thanks for sharing
