A Recycling Project

The challenge at Late Night Stampers this week is to make a project recycling something.  Well, recently I had seen someone repurpose a Laughing Cow cheese container and since I had one on hand, I thought I would give it a try.

I used the beautiful Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper to cover the lid and sides of the box.  Since this was my first try I am not too unhappy with the result but I think I would try something different on the sides next time.  I made a flower from Real Red card stock using the Fun Flowers Bigz Large Die.  I only cut one of each flower on the die but used my bone folder to soften the cardstock so that I could separate each flower into two layers.  By scrunching each flower and then staking onto an Antique Brad, the flower gets a little more dimension.  To finish off this little box, I used more of the Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper to make 4 coasters to go inside the box.  My coasters consist of a layer of cork, then a layer of designer paper and then a layer of window sheet.  I used the Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to adhere each layer and then cut the coasters using a 3-1/2″ Circle Die (non-Stampin’ Up!).

I think this would make a cute gift for someone special.  What do you think?

Bye for now, Kris.
