Birthday... 

How I love thee... Let me count the ways... 

Today I am so excited to share a project I made...

A Paper Mache Heart Box... 

For a Birthday...

I usually share cards that I have made...

But I really do make many other things...

And today is the day I get to share 

an adorable creation... 

I made this adorable heart box...

It is from Pinque Peacock.

They carry an amazing range of awesome items.

From hand made flowers, felt poppers,

paper mache boxes, books, hearts & shapes,

pins, embossing folders and so many other things...

 

I just LOVE to order my supplies from

Pinque Peacock...

Today my project is a Paper Mache Heart Box...

I wanted my Heart Box to look just like a cake...

I used:

Paper Mache Heart Box  by Pinque Peacock

Pink Metallic Paint by Apple Barrel

Signo

Glossy Accents

Sunny Skies Chevron Paper by PPPR

Ice White Pearl Pen by Viva from   Pinque Peacock

Felt Poppers by Pinque Peacock

 Fabric Poppers by Pinque Peacock

Flat Back Fabric Covered Buttons by Pinque Peacock

Pearl Hearts by Miriam's Crafting Supplies

Clear by Wink Of Stella

Valentine Dies by Jaded Blossom

Love by Paper Smooches

Stampin' Up

Wooden Heart by Pinque Peacock

   Here are some images to show the work in progress...

I painted the Paper Mache Heart Box with Metallic Pink Paint.
Covered the inside, outside, top & bottom with my paper.

With the Ice White Pearl Pen I decorated around the bottom edge of box (pictured here)...

This is the lid of box. I also used the Ice White Pearl Pen to add 3 rows to give the look of icing... 

Side view of lid. Here you see 3 rows of pearls to make icing effect.

The Paper Mache Heart Box is so easy to paint & decorate. 
It is sturdy and held up extremely well to 2 coats of paint, glue and the pearl pen...


My Adorable Heart Box... 

The Paper Mache Heart Box is complete...
I added a large Felt Popper (in white)...
2 Fabric Poppers and 3 Flat Back Fabric Covered Buttons in pink...
I added the wooden heart that I sprayed to make it pink.

I really enjoyed working with the paper mache heart 

box. 

I must say I am surprised at how it easy it was to create with it.

The paper mache is sturdy and handles very well. 
It is an awesome find at a fantastic price.

Hello, creative friends! Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I'm so pleased to be bringing you today's PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT!

I'm spotlighting the large fabric buttons.  They're big, they're bold, and they're BEAUTIFUL.  I was given two of them to work with to showcase today.  Both of them are so pretty all by themselves.

Pink Snakeskin

Summer Safari

These 1 1/2 inch buttons work so well for 3D projects because of their size.  Here's what I created with the Pink Snakeskin button:

This cute little heart-shaped box was cut out on my Silhouette.  I made a floral ribbon to support the button from 3 Girl JAM Tuxedo Black crinkle ribbon from the Celebrations Bundle.

Here's another view:

I had a great time with the Summer Safari 1.5 inch button.  I made another box.  This one, I cut out on my Cricut:

Isn't that owl just the cutest?  This is Bernie, a Unity Stamp Company Itty Bitty. I colored him with Copic markers, then used some Stickles glitter glue on his hat and a Viva Decor Pearl pen (available from Jessica's Discount Hut) on the snow on the branches. The paper is a retired paper from Close To My Heart, but I thought it was the perfect match for this Summer Safari button.  The ribbon is once again 3 Girl JAM.  I used Cherry Lipstick from the Pink & White Bundle.

And, another view of the button, owl, and box...

I love these buttons! There's a great variety of them in the Pinque Peacock shop.  Check them out and see where your creativity takes YOU!
