It’s a winter wonderland around the world with record low temperatures with plenty of snow. Make the most of this time to capture the moment and preserve the memories. This treasure box and album is created using Helmar Adhesives and multiple preferred vendors’ products: Clearsnap, Creative Impressions, Inc., Elle’s Studio and The Robin’s Nest.
Supplies Used:
Helmar Super Strength PVA Wood Glue
Acrylic Paint
Clearsnap ColorBox Ink
Creative Impresions, Inc Large Felt Snowflakes
Creative Impresions, Inc Bits of Bling
Elle’s Studio Vintage Label Cut Outs
The Robin’s Nest Winter Retreat
The Robin’s Nest Snow Fun Rub-ons
Prima Wood Box
Zutter 4” x 4” Chipboard Covers
Zutter ¾” Antique Brass O’Wire ColorBox Ink
I covered the base of the wood box using with wintery papers from The Robin’s Nest applied using Helmar Acid Free Glue. To add to the vintage feel of the papers, I rubbed Clearsnap ColorBox inks around the edges for a distressed look. For the box lid, I used coordinating papers from The Robin’s Nest applied it the wood using Helmar Acid Free Glue. I drilled a hole in the lid of the box and put a hardware drawer knob. Using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, I embellished the box lid with large felt snowflakes form Creative Impressions, Inc. I placed Bits of Bling from Creative Impressions, Inc. in the center of each snowflake. The box wouldn’t be complete without a label, here I used Elle’s Studio Vintage Label Cut Outs and distressed with sandpaper. To give the box some legs to stand on, I painted wood knobs and adhered to the box usingHelmar Super Strength PVA Wood Glue. The box if beautiful on it’s own, lets’ take it a step further by making a coordinating album to fit inside the box. I dry brushed the chipboard covers with blue and white acrylic paints, punched holes in the covers and bound it with O'wires. Once the paint dried, I applied The Robin’s Nest Snow Fun Rub-ons. The inner pages of the album are from The Robin’s Nest Winter Retreat papers cut to 4” x 4” size of the covers. Apply a Large Felt Snowflake with a Bit of Bling all from Creative Impressions, Inc. The ensemble is complete and ready to fill with memories of wintery events.
