Ciao Bella Sicilia Gift Box

Welcome back and Nancy, here.   I am so excited to share my altered wooden box made with the beautiful Ciao Bella Sicilia paper collection.  
Ciao Bella - Sicilia- 12 x 12 Prints Paper Collection (CBPM033)
So many birthdays this spring and I wanted to make this gift box filled with chocolate, adorable kitchen towels and also handmade items from Idaho to surprise my niece on her birthday.  The 
Ciao Bella Sicilia paper collection is available at The Rubber Buggy on-line store that carries all of the wonderful name-brand products and supplies for all of your crafting needs.
I used a hot glue gunBeacon 3-n-1 Advanced glue and Scor Tape to adhere the papers and embellishments on my box.  The Rubber Buggy carries a variety of widths of Scor Tape.  I had the 1" width but could have used a larger width.

Back of Box With My Name on It


One of the papers in the beautiful Ciao Bella Sicilia has this design so I cut it out and used the 
Scor Tape to take it on and added a stamp with my name on it.  The Rubber Buggy carries a variety of sizes of Scor Tape and I had the 1" width that I used on this box.  
The flowers were handmade using the Heartfelt Creations Large Sweet Peony die and
LeCrea Design Flower Foam.  I used a hot glue gun to adhere the Prima Marketing Memory Hardware Petite Round Frame after adding some Prima Marketing waxes.  Using an alphabet die, I cut out five sets of the word "Tammy" and glued each letter together to make five layers for height.  I coated each letter with white gesso but any white paint will work.  I applied the NUVO Aqua Shimmer pen to each letter.  I added 1/75" wide Venice lace behind the resin frame.  Also I used a hot glue gun to adhere the 5mm flat back pearls around the box.

The beautiful metal corners is from the Tim Holtz Ideo-Ology Metal Vignette Accents painted first with Prima Marketing Finnabair Art Basics - Heavy Gesso White and lightly dabbed the
Prima Marketing-Art Alchemy-Dragon Eye paint with the same brush in a few area. I really love the gold in this paint and recommend using wax paper inside the lid as extra to keep these jars from drying out.  Some people also recommend putting the jars in a Zip Lock bag as well to prevent drying out quickly.

I had some resin fairies in my ole stash that I painted with Copic Markers and used a hot glue gun to adhere to the inside and on the front near the flowers.

I hope I have inspired you try out these products available at The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  My cards and projects are always posted on Saturday.  Keep watching and thank you so much for those wonderful comments as well as suggestions. 

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!
