Candy Box Crafts - 6.5inch Box Frame

The guys at Candy Box Crafts have done it again with the launch of 3 fabulous mdf box frames in 6 inch, 6.5 inch and 8 inch. The one I got to play with was a 6.5 inch one and as usual the pieces fitted together beautifully due to the precision laser cutting.

I started off by painting the entire frame with Paper Artsy paint in Snowflake. I then chose a selection of white embossed/flittered 12 x 12 papers by Best Creation Inc and covered both the the inside and outside of the frame.

I painted an mdf heart with the Paper Artsy paint in Snowflake, and let it dry before covering the surface in tacky glue and dipping it into a tub of Creative Expressions micro beads. After the beads and glue had dried I then painted the surface again with Paper Artsy paint in Snowflake, followed by a gently brushing with Stardust Stickles.

I used a Memory box die to cut out two mannequins and had great fun dressing them as a bride a groom. It was then just a simple case of attaching all the items to the frame (3D style) using strong glue. I finished off by using a small beaded trim around the edges of the frame  attached with double sided red-line tape.

The guys at Candy Box Crafts loved it so much that they popped it straight on the wall at the CHSI trade show in Birmingham today and I was chuffed to pieces hearing all the lovely comments people were saying about it. Gave me a real boost.
