I recently updgraded to the Cuttlebug from the Sizzix Texture Boutique. I love them both for embossing and can't wait to try the cutting feature on the Cuttlebug! Of course when I buy something new, I have to buy more things to go with it. I needed a place to store all of my Cuttlebug folders so I altered a recipe box. I have seen this done a few times before and I can't remember where I've seen it. (If you've seen this done, or have done it yourself, please let me know who and where, so I can give the proper credit- since I would have never thought to do this myself!)
The regular size folders fit in this perfectly- now I just need to figure out something for the larger ones.
I used the Black Currant stack from DCWV to cover the box, and Prima flowers for embellishments. I added ribbon to cover some of the seams. The ribbon was a bit difficult to attach- I used ATG but should have used the Xyron or hot glue. I know better now for the next one.............
I am entering this into Try it on Tuesday's challenge- Go check them out!
Thanks for stopping by!
Very cute and great way to store the folders!
ReplyDeleteTerrific alteration of a recipe box, love the colours you chose. For your larger Bug folders look at Finish dishwasher sachets boxes, I use them for loads of craft stash. Thanks for joining in at TIOT. Good Luck. Caz
ReplyDeletesuper cute. I love the colors.

Love the Box. I agree ATG does not hold things i.e. boxes, ribbon, etc together very well. I LOVE the Xyron...have three different sizes. Thanks for the inspiration.
