Country Kitchen Crafted Recipe Box

Hi folks. Here's a little recipe box that I made using lots of the stamps fro Joanna Sheen's Country Kitchen Collection. Three of the large stamps are recipes and so I thought it fitting to make a little box to house them with some extra sheets to jot down your own recipes.

I made the box using my Martha Stewart scoring board and based the size around the Nestabilities label die that I cut the aperture with. Sorry I can't be more specific with dimensions, I didn't make a note and this piece was sent to Joanna as a sample for her launch show on Create & Craft earlier this month. I tend to do things 'by eye' and hardly ever make a note of sizes as I usually only make one off pieces. I can tell you that I use 300gsm card stock and adhere patterned papers to both sides before forming the box which makes it really sturdy.

I used Bo Bunny patterned papers and stamped the images with Brown versafine ink. I added colour using Koi watercolour paints and used ribbon and brads from my stash. My EK Success boarder punch came in useful too.
This piccie shows the acetate that I attached behind the aperture. I also painted some Prima flowers with cream pearlidoodles, layered them up and secured in place with a brad.

Here's a shot of the box with most of the cards out. The brackets and lines came from a stamp set that I've had for a long time, not sure which company made them.

Ciao for now!
