Hi there. If you visited yesterday, I mentioned that I was showing two parts of an ensemble that I created using Nested Hearts. This is the second part, so after this I’ll let up a bit. If you want to see the first part, you can see it HERE. 
It’s a trinket box. The walls of the box follow the contour of the heart template and the actual die templates are on the top and bottom. The sides of the box are about 3.5" tall – it would be large enough to accommodate a small gift, ring, bracelet or even stash your rainy day money. I smudged everything with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Ink and stenciled with Colorbox Rouge chalk ink. I used a variety of embellishments including lace, pearls and a tassel. The smaller roses on top were snipped from a piece of ribbon and the larger roses were made by me. The left one is simply two layers of ribbon gathered and cinched in the center. The right one is silk ribbon twirled into a rose shape. The luscious green leaf was a piece of crinkled fabric that I found at the fabric store. It honestly reminded me of Shibori silk – wish it were – but it’s a great fake um..er..faux :-) Here’s a closer look.
This is a view with the box open. I put two pieces of ribbon in between the real top and inside top. The ribbon keeps the top attached and the inside top makes the top seat correctly. To finish it off I ran velvet ribbon along the inside top to hide some of the mechanics.
Here are both of the pieces of the ensemble together using Spellbinders Nested Hearts and Fancy Tags.
| Project Recipe: Stamps: None Paper: Xpedx Cream Cardstock, The Paper Company – Blonde Columns, Foam core Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Rouge, Antique Linen Distress Ink, Vintage Photo Distress Ink Accessories: Spellbinders™ Nested Hearts, Spellbinders™ Fancy Tags, pearls, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Tassel, lace, eyelet |
Thanks for popping back in to see part two. I’ve learned of the loss of a friend who passed while I was away and it’s kept me out of the craft room for the past couple of days. Hopefully tomorrow’s the day. In the interim, I’m working on my next blog candy – it has been a couple of weeks!

Hallmark could put you on their staff. This trinket box is precious. When I get the chance to invest in more Spellbinders…I think the nested hearts just might be at the top of my list…along with some of the new dies

Becca this is simply stunning! Very romantic and very beautiful – I just love the things you create. Such a clever lady you are!
I have a book called ‘Victorian Ribbon & Lacecraft Designs by Mary Jo Hiney – that features equally stinning things but using fabric. There’s a pretty heart shaped box just like yours too. You should check it out if you can get a copy – you do such amazing things with simple card stock and pretty ribbons – I know you’d simply love it!

My dear friend and I spent the afternonn working on this beautiful project and they turned out delightful. We found the first one to be a bit challenging but once we figured out what worked for us I think we will make several more. Of course I decorations we used weren’t Becca’s but they turned out quite lovely. We were quite proud of ourselves to say the least. We thought homemade tuffles might be a delicious treat to put in the boxes. Thanks for the idea and keep them coming. We are both fans and appreciate your special gifts that you so freely share. God continue to bless you as you bless so many others.
