This fortnight at Fashionable Stamping Challenges we want to see
ANYTHING BUT A CARD
My project is this pizza box I have made with a shaker lid and inside I made a post it note book.
Have given the see through acetate lid … the “Woman’s Face” is stamped with StazOn black ink … a double layer of acetate so the micro beads cling and form pretty patterns. Inked the edges with TH Victorian Velvet then used it on various stamps which I randomly used for the background paper and lady also added some very pretty lace and beads Stamped and inked the post it note book to match.
Don’t you just love it when you get a huge laugh out of the project you have just made, well that is what happened with the above.
Borrowed the woman’s face stamp from a friend … should have thought it through though … because I added the shaker piece to the box last it wasn’t until I opened it that I realized you look at her face upside down when opened!!!! … made me laugh … 😛 Moral to this story – look before you leap stamp 😳
Please please pop along to see all the other DT’s creations they are totally out of this world.
Footnote: … My Pizza box was made with the Hougie Board – I saw the demonstration on Create & Craft, but here is a link for a tutorial on how to make a Pizza Box
Shirley, this is a most elegant altered little box! Never in my wildest dreams, would I have thought to save a pizza box!!!! Now that I think about it, I don’t know if we have little pizza boxes! Love how you finished this off with such lovely lace and bling! Beautiful! Hugs to you!
A really gorgeous creation Shirley and such a fabulous idea too. It makes your note book look so glamorous and the colours are so beautiful.
Have a great Sunday.

A wonderful project, this pizza box containing a post it note book is a fantastic idea.
Shirley this is just one amazing altered pizza box. The colours, stamping and design are all perfect and what a clever idea too. You made me laugh too with the tale about the ladies face, but I guess it all adds to the charm of it. Well done on such a stunning creation.
Have a happy Sunday.

Beautiful pizza box Shirl ! I love the vintage feel to it and the shaker element is fab ! I’m glad it’s not just me that finishes a project before realising something’s not quite gone according to plan ! I agree with Brenda, it all adds to the charm ! Sue C x
