Hello scrappers. It's my turn to share a project over at She's A Sassy Lady today...and it's a quick and easy one. I racked my brain for something creative and new to share with you, but it just didn't come together. I know you can all understand how that goes.
I am loving the 3-D boxes available in the Silhouette store, they are so easy to put together (no score board necessary!) and they are only 99 cents, can't beat that combo. So, I put together a little St. Patty's Day treat box.
Above is the box exactly as it came off my cutting mat. I also cut several shamrocks (also from the Silhouette store).
I decided to use a background stamp and embossing folder to spice my shamrocks up a little.
After stamping and embossing I added a little more embellishment to the shamrocks with buttons, brads and twine.
Generally when I cut boxes from the Silhouette I don't have to worry about covering up all the score marks because they're usually very small, but for this project I did decide to ink the edges. I like the added dimension and pop of color it provides. Obviously this is personal preference.
And the finished project...I told you it was quick and simple!
