Recipe Box

Happy Sunday everyone!  I hope your weekend is going well.  Mine so far has been uneventful, which is a good thing.  I wanted to share a project that I've been working one.  I made a recipe box for my sister for her birthday.  The box I purchased at Michael's for $1.00, this is what it looked like when I got it.

This is what it looks like when I got done with it.

I painted the box in Antique White which actually looks more beige or wheat color.

For the top I stamped a layer of deep red cardstock with Background Basics: Retro in Versa Magic Wheat then a layer of a wheat color cardstock and the top layer is stamped with Recipe Box Label where I used clear embossing powder and Recipes is stamped in dark chocolate.

I used the same deep red cardstock along with a Martha Stewart's border punch and made panels for all sides of the box.  I then cut a few strips of the wheat cardstock to add to the sides.

For the front, I added some metal embellishments to dress it up alittle.

Now for the dividers, I cut kraft cardstock to size and added a strip of red cardstock and the same MS punch.  The tabs were created using my computer, I used a 1 3/8" punch to cut them out and the little flourish is from Faux Ribbon set stamped in pure poppy.

Hope you enjoyed today's post.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hugs
