NBUS #1 Challenge at Darnell's Playhouse



To celebrate the Queen of the blog-asphere's reaching 500 followers.... and still growing... Darnell is offering a challenge...check it out here  then come join the fun. I know after reading her quirky words you'll be following her too!

This piano card is from the Summer Box Collection at SVGCuts... pretty simple. I added black enamel accents to the keys, the legs and the stool to jazz it up.The flowers are stickers I've had for years so I think it qualifies for Darnell's challenge NBUS "Never before Used Schtuff" The top hat I made and covered with glossy accents and a bit of a broken chain. I'm still looking for tiny music print.


Up next is the Festive House. Very patriotic... it looks like July...with hydrangeas blooming.



 I'm not the best photographer... but maybe you can see the stickles sparkling on the fence and arch...and some on the sun peeking out from behind the tree. 


Below is a cute little girl's tea party using the plain box svg and adding my own embellishments. Scraps and bits used for the panels and a fence paper punch. "TEA" is made using MS mold and clay.(NBUS) That's glued to a sheet of acetate as well as the dress and purse sticker. The tea pot and cup are bits left from our celebration. A MS pink floral sticker and die cut from SB. NBUS



Gosh I don't know what I did but my font got very small and I've got to fix it. I hope you join the fun at Darnell's Playhouse.

Be well and please do leave a comment. Thank you
Carole

  4. I'm so glad you entered one of your magnificent box cards in my NBUS Challenge, Carole! You are going to become the Box Lady ... better'n a bag lady, right? lol! Seriously, as I told you, you rock these box cards! Your imagination and ability to take found objects and put them on cards is perfect for these sweet cards with millions of little details! I see a book coming in future, perhaps???

    I so appreciate that you linked to my challenge and spread the word to your readers! Your support and encouragement mean the world to me! Hugs, Darnell

  7. I love all the different styles of box cards you have made! And what a great way to do the NBUS challenge. JD/Jill is trying to get me to join that challenge, but I'm so busy with work and life, that I put my crafts in second place. I'm just going to have to sit down and do it. Sounds like fun!

  11. You have been quite the busy lady with all of your card-in-a-box creations! They are so pretty! Having a nerve study done on my hand/arm tomorrow, so we will see. Something tells me I will need surgery. Ugh! Just want to be better so I can stamp more.
