Ruffles Marci Stationary/Trinket Box


Wow, wow, wow!!  I hadn't made any projects since our last CHA in July!!!  FINALLY here is a NEW one!!  

And I got to play with the NEW Marci stamp too!!  This is Ruffles Marci!!  This stamp is not even released yet, so consider this to be a sneak peek ;-)  

I created a Stationary/Trinket Box to showcase our new Marci.  I created my own template for the box and the lid.  The box is pretty big, it measures 6" x 6" x 2".  Inside dimensions are 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" with a divider.  The way I positioned my divider my box will fit regular size cards and postage stamps, pens, etc. - making it a Stationary Box.  However, this box can be used for pretty much anything if you move divider, make two or even four slots there to create a trinket box.  Or, you can leave one big space and store whatever your heart desires in it!!

This is one of the projects for my SEPTEMBER Workshop

SEPTEMBER Workshop is scheduled for:
Sunday, September 25th
10 am to 6 pm
at Scrapbook Island in San Jose, CA

This Workshop is by invitation only.  If you would like to attend but did not receive an Evite invitation from me, please email me at irina_ca@msn.com and I will add you onto the list.







I've seen other crafters making the images look like 3D without using pop dots but instead shaping the elements on the image.   This is my first time giving an image some dimension this way.  I really, really, really love how my Marci has turned out!!  I took quite a few pictures to show you so hopefully photos do it the justice. 
Oh, and those dots on Marci's hair band - they are not a part of a stamp, I drew them with my Memento Marker.  I thought it was a nice touch :-)
