Altered Notecard Kit

by Becca Feeken on November 28, 2009

Hello there!! Thanks for sticking with me even through this sporadic posting :-) I’m recharging my batteries and have a couple of things on the back burner however in the meantime, I want to share another project that I’ve not been able to show on my blog. This also was a project shared during my tenure with the Dirty Dozen; it’s a Notecard Kit with an altered box.

Very simply I purchased this wooden box at Hobby Lobby, disassembled and spray painted then reassembled after I applied the paper. I also added those funky feet :-). It contains some simple note cards, envelopes, stamps and such. I have hoarded this paper since I puchased it but used all those scraps I couldn’t bear to part with on the envelopes.

Project Recipe:
Stamps: PSX (retired)
Paper: Paper Loft – Grandma’s Attic
Ink: Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Accessories: Martha Stewart Punch, Spellbinders Antique Tag

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hi Becca -

This is just so sweet. What a great gift for someone, very different. And don’t worry about the blogging, there are always great things to look at in your archives!

I (and I’m certain all of us) are grateful that you take time to ‘re-charge’ yourself. You offer so much for us to take in and enjoy and I appreciate your gifts.

OK…you are the greatest…this is the cutest gift idea. Love the papers and the wooden box was a great idea. I’ve made some smaller ones with metal tins but this is so darling.

Hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Fabulous!! Becca I’ll bet you could take 3 cans of Campbell’s soup and turn it into a gift that looks like it came from Neiman Marcus – LOL Thanks for another wonderful idea

Oh Becca ~ Your ideas are fabulous!!! You really must have my mind read, because only yesterday I was shopping at Hobby Lobby and trying to figure out what I could put the Christmas Cards I am making for friends at work that would be nicer than just a plain box…and then, before that the calendars…I was looking at Michael’s on Friday and because of you I founds some calendars for $1 and I bought some. Just wanted to let you know that your inspiration spreads far and wide and LOL…I AM watching :)
