Lets Spring into Something Fresh

___________________________________________________________

This is the 2nd post of the day.  If you're looking for the FB challenge, see the previous post for today.  But since you're here, join in the Hop fun.

Well it's finally here.  The February Release/Hop at Sassy Studio Designs.

It's been a while since we've had a Release/Hop.  This time the theme is "Spring / Fresh".  And the challenge is "Anything But a Card". The Design Team has come up with some great projects.  Some of the images showcased are "re-releases (and updates)" of past images.  And there are some new images Lindsay has created.  All of them are amazing.
I am honored to be the first site in this Hop.  So if you didn't come here from the SSD site, you only have to go back 1 site to be at the beginning.
Now that you are here, let me show you what I created. Since it's "Anything But a Card", and what is "Fresher" than the smell of Lavender, I constructed a box to hold 3 Lavender Sachets.

The image I was given to work with is the "Clover" image.  As you can see, it doesn't have to be just for St Patrick's Day.

Felt-Classic felt in lavender

Ribbon-Offray Spool 'O' Ribbon 1/4" green

Diecut-Glitter diecuts by K&Company gold

Lavender sachets-3 pack from Michaels 

The box is 5" wide x 7 1/4" high x 1 3/4" deep.  I popped up the "Clover" image on homemade lavender foam squares.  The ribbon was added to make it easier to get the sachets out of the box.

This was a fun project.  I like making boxes to store things in out of Foam core. I've made boxes for my Dew Drop and studio g ink pads, my Adirondack ink and Stickles bottles and my Copics, just to name a few.

After you comment, it's off to Jackie's Blog to see what she's created.

BGF- Bubble Gum Friends

It's Monday, that means a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.  And this week it's being sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.  The challenge this week is "Ribbon, Fiber, Twine".  As a SSD DT member I played along.  I thought I'd use all three.

Twine-Darice Baker's twine orange/white stripe

Embossing folder-Cuttlebug "Best Friends" mini folder ( I cut the folder and rejoined it at the top so I could use it on the top of the card stock)

Embossed lines-Martha Stewart scoring board

Sentiment-Computer generated

I ran a strip of felt through my 2 1/2" Xyron machine.  Adhered it to a piece of card stock and cut a 5/8" strip. Adhered it to the card and wrapped the ribbon around.  I popped up the image on homemade lt. blue foam squares.  I added a smaller image and more DP on the inside.

I cut all the DP and card stock pieces out of a different style of papers (more fall like).  I didn't like the colors.  So I re-cut everything with brighter papers.

Hopefully I did okay and have inspired you to play along this week at Incy Wincy Designs.

A Box for my Heart

The challenge this time at Crafting with Dragonflies is to "Make a Box".  As a member of  Design Team at Sassy Studio Designs, I played along.  Usually when I make a project, it is for a specific purpose.  This time my project turned out to be more of a "artsy" piece.

Box-Darice Paper Mache Box Set (3 pieces) 4"x6"

Rhinestones-Darice Birthstone Boutique July/Ruby

Ribbon-Plain N Fancy Red Rip Rap glitter ribbon

I added chip board to the corners and top and then covered the entire box with metal tape. It that is used on counter tops under cook tops to reflect the heat away from the counter.  Here's a pic of the roll.

I added the faux rivets with the tube from a pen with the point retracted.

I scanned the heart/clock sticker. Printed it out larger and covered it with Glossy Accents and cut it out.

I lined the box with red felt pieces.

I popped up the Tin Sassy image on homemade pink foam squares.

This was a fun project. It was the 2nd project that I made this month that wasn't a card. I think I may have to make more non-card projects.

Hambo Hoedown 97

This weeks challenge at the Hambo Hoedown http://hambochallenges.blogspot.com/

was to use "FELT" on the project.  I also got the "Penguin Snowball" digi free since I played along last week.

(note that all the snowballs have hearts on them.)

I got ambitious this week and created 2 cards.  On both cards I cut the felt into strips and Xyroned them to a piece of card stock.

The sentiments were computer generated.

I colored the images with Copic markers.
