Warm & Cozy (& Toasty)
Filed under Art Projects, Cigar Box Sweeties Kit, Giveaways, Kristin Batsel, Newsletters
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Kristin’s project that are still available on the new site.
Have a look at the Mini Cigar Box created by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel from the November 2014 – Cigar Box Sweeties Kit!
Using the Turquoise Mini Cigar Boxes Collage Sheet to cover a Tiny Cigar Box, Kristin says:
“This little box would make a perfect gift box for a cigar aficionado. But I’d like to just display it, so I chose a few images from the Cigar Box Secrets Panatela Scrapbook Paper, cut them out, and mounted them on a little foam core base, cut just to fit inside the box. They stand up nicely, but are easy to remove should I decide to use the box to hold a gift card later.”
Personally, I love the idea of using the Tiny Cigar Box for a gift card holder. So much better to give than one that has been mass produced. Or use it to stash tiny bits of this-and-that I can’t bear to use…then I could open it up from time-to-time a la Gollum!
To enhance one of the female images that wasn’t too clear, Kristin used colored pencils and a Copic Sketch Marker – Lipstick Red. Since I have, in-hand a couple of sets of my own to hoard, I can let you know that the image on the inside cover is from the gorgeous Cigar Box Secrets 3D Stickers. (Psst! Those 3D Stickers are On Sale AND are also in today’s Giveaway!)
After you check out the components that Kristin used, puff on over to her blog to see more pictures!
