Big Shot Project tea light box - with Makeesha`s challenge

Good day to you all!

It's Thursday.............. We have heat in the office....... So it's a good day!

I have a big shot project for you today! Ouh but the funny thing is that I fergot to take a photo of the chipboard going thru big shot............. I was trying all sorts of things and once I stumbled on something that worked I just went on a different path and totally forgot to take a photo sorry!

so today the challenge was to make a chipboard die cut with the Big Shot but to make it glitter..

oh yha I had a hard time with this..............

okay so I used my ornament die with chipboard. I die cut it with my Big Shot........ it cut like butter...

 
Once I had the die cut chipboard ornament I painted them with Silver Shimmer paint.

then I let that dry and went to created my 3D project

so I making a little cute candle box with a battery operated tea light.

this is a piece of velum

I cut my velum piece to 6 1/2'' x  11 1/4''

Then I scored 4 times - starting at 2 3/4'' - then scored again at 5 1/5'' and then again 8 1/4'' and one last time at  11'' 

then we have a cube........ now I created a base to put my Velum Cube on

I used a piece of cardboard that comes with Designer paper, you know the one you usually throw away??

this is cut down to 4 1/4'' x 4 1/4'' - I score it all the around at 3/4'' - this is to make the flip down 

 
then to make the square I scored at the same measurments as my velum piece - the 2 3/4'' measurments.

Then I covered this piece with a nice piece of Silver (Stampin Up) card stock - I cut this down to 1'' x 11 1/4'' and again scored  it the same as the velum piece

Is this making any sense at all he he :)

so now I  adhered my velum and I am ready to decorate

 
I punched some ornaments out of Velum and stamped with Baroque Motif Stamp set and Silver stamp pad

the ornaments are goingt to hang down

added some ribbon around my base - used some rub ons

make some pretty bows - the red ribbon I coloured

now for the glitter

I forgot to take a photo of that process as well - duh............ oh I had gillter all over - cause I tried so many things........... but it turned out okay - take a look

I used liquid glue on the chip board and then poured on the Stamoin Glitter - Romantic Red all over -

and voila............. Once dried I did a rub on and a pearl from our pretties kit

the Glitter is on Page 180

I put in eyelets in each ornament

I also put a little silver cord on each ornament.

okay are you ready to see???

really hard to photograph so I took serveral photos to try and capture how pretty this is!

kay then I tried to take a few photos with dimmed lights

it really looks pretty uh?

okay I hope this is giving you the idea of what this little 3 D project looks like!

then I made another one...............

this one is for the LNS tropical challenge - so  I used Herb Expressions as my stamp set.  I did a lot of colouring and tell you he he :)
I also used Makeesha`s Inspiration challenge - take a look    
  

So my colours are: Real Red - Rose Red and green Gable

I won`t go thru everything on this one - just going to show you what the finish project is

I used ribbon, buttons and pearls from the Pretties kit

a couple up close photos

buttons with pearls

There we have it............
