Altered Box

With repurposing on my mind, I saw the box that the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform came in and thought it would be great to make a shadowbox out of it.  So that is what I did.  I used some papers from DCVW, added chipboard from my stash, and stamped onto a wood piece with a Prima Stamp called Aubrey.  Want to see the steps by steps on how I did this?  Check out my youtube videos on the project.

It's NOT a card....WHAT??? DIY Hot Gun Tray

Hey everyone,

So I saw this cute tutorial on YouTube about a DIY Hot Glue holder by ScrapDWorld and thought this is something I could actually use. So I hit the Dollar Tree to pick up some supplies and pulled out some items I had in my stash and Ta-DA here is what I created.





In my project, I used a wood base and then applied Graphic45 papers.  Feel free to stop by my YouTube Channel so see how I changed it up.   https://youtu.be/bMeNdPax-Uk
