Shabby Wedding Card Box

Designed by: Linda Albrecht

Supplies:
Glue Arts Glue Glider Max with Perma Tac Adhesive
Glue Arts Hot Glue Gun
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac Adhesive
Crate Paper "Portrait Collection" papers
Silver Glitter
Chipboard letters
Pearl Stamins for flower
White feathers, Tuelle, grosgrain ribbon
Box for holding wedding cards

Instructions:
1. Start by applying patterned papers to desired areas on the box using Perma Tac Adhesive in the Glue Glider Max.

2. Lightly sand chipboard letters then apply Perma Tac Adhesive from the Glue Glider Pro to the front surface of each letter.

3. Shake glitter onto each chipboard letter then press into adhesive with your finger and shake off excess glitter.

 4. Crumple and twist up white grosgrain ribbon then use hot glue to adhere the glittered letters to it. Adhere it to the box as desired with hot glue also.

5. To make the large flower, cut 6 circles by hand. Cut the largest at 4" round then cut the next 3 circles 1/4" smaller in circumference than the preverious one. Cut the last 2 the same size for the center. Cut a slit into each circle that stops at the center.

6. Slightly overlap one side of the slit onto the other so that a small cup shape is formed. Use hot glue to adhere into place

 7. Lightly sand the outside edges of each circle then mist lightly with water and crumple in your hand to create a distressed paper look.

8. Use your fingers to mold shape into the outer edges of each circle then use hot glue to stack them on top of each other with the largest circle being at the bottom. Position the last two smallest circles so that they are slightly off center of each other. Punch a hole in the center of the flower.

9. Insert the pearl stamins into the center hole on the flower then use hot glue on the backside to keep in place.

10. Adhere tuelle and feathers to the backside of the flower then adhere to the front of the box as desired.
