Hey everyone, its been awhile since i've posted my projects and i just couldn't let this one go without sharing. I host a Cigar Box Swap every month over at Creating the Crafty Life and this was the very first one we did back in April. This was my first Cigar box and i had a blast. My partner was Adelle and she made me a gorgeous one that i will share on youtube.
I did use several of my fav MBT goodies, such as the acrylic butterflies, acrylic flowers, wheat sprays, rustic wire, snowy ornate lace, pink rose w/ pearl trim and the new pink calla lilies. All the flowers are iamroses colored with various starburst sprays and glimmer mist. I colored a super cute image with copic markers and framed it using a $1 michaels frame, that i painted with gesso and distressed it with peeled paint distress ink. Well enough of what i used...hehe Here is the end result....hope you like it as much as i do!!!

Ok now to my project.....hehe!!
I made a card this month. I used the recent sketch from this months sketch challenge. I used Pink Paislee London Market paper which i absolutely love. I used 3 different gorgeous trims from the store. I also used my lacey circle Spellbinder die and layered a chipboard piece from Prima on top of that. I used a old Anna Griffin stamp to stamp the Thank You. The gorgeous flower is from Petaloo.
You can find the paper and trims at Mb's Treasurista Zibbet store.
Thank you for stopping by and if you have any questions feel free to ask. :)
Welcome everyone to the MB's Treasurista Teach Me Tuesday! This Tuesday, I'll be showing you how to create a Satin Ruffle Trim embellishment. Super easy and quick to create with only a few supplies.
Here's what you'll need:
1. 2 x 12'' pieces of ruffled satin trim.
2. 1 piece of 12'' x 1/2'' piece of chipboard.
3. 12'' of decorative trim.
Here's how to make it:
1. With your glue gun, glue down your satin ruffled trim to one side of your chipboard. I chose to make my pieces 12 inches long but you don't have to. If you wanted to use this for a card, just cut it all shorter.
2. With your glue gun again, take your second piece of satin ruffled trim and glue it right beside your first piece of trim. Your pieces of trim should be butted up as close together as you can. You don't want any large visible gaps.
3. Trim your edges. Then take your lighter and lightly melt your edges. This will secure your fabric and will keep your fabric edges from fraying.
4. Next, take your decorative trim and glue it down onto your seam. Do not add too much glue. You'll want it to be secure but not have glue seeping out of the edges.
Voila! you're done! Try this technique with laces and other trims for a completely different look!
Also, here are the links of the items I used to create these beautiful embellishments:
Ivory Satin Trim 7/8''
Black Ruffle Satin Trim
Flower Trim with Rhinestone Center in Lt. Pink
Mini Pearl Flower Trim in Lavender
Thanks for stopping by! Have fun and try this for yourself!

I'm so excited about this project as i have never altered a Michael's Balsa Box from the dollar bin. I painted it with white acrylic paint, then i used the awesome Iced Spruce Distress Ink from the new winter limited edition Distress Inks by Tim Holtz. Then covered the top and back with matte mod podge and dipped it in a pile of Diamond Dust. I love the snowy look it added to the box!!!! I used the new blue pleated trim w/ lace that will be available on the 1st of January at MB's Treasurista. I also used some trim from my stash for the closure. For the top i used a large gardenia from iamroses and various other iamroses flowers. I accented the flowers with winter buttons, clear wheat leaves and clear large acrylic flowers which are available at the MBT Shop! i also added some feet by painting wood balls with pale blue acrylic paint and hot gluing them to the bottom. I hope you like this project as much as i do, it will be placed on my mantle for all of winter...hehe Here are some more pics:
