Paris Bracelet Box and Dangle Swap

 

Well what to we have here?  This is a swap I did over at My Scrap Room.  It is my first Papercrafting Swap.  We were to alter a bracelet box and make a charm dangle in either a Paris or Roaring 20's theme.  My swap partner was Markisha and I asked her a couple of questions and found out "Chocolate" was her favorite color.  So with that in mind, I went with it.

Granted I was only suppose to make an Altered Bracelet Box and Charm Dangle but once I started I couldn't stop-so I went all out.  Above is an Easel Card I made.  I love this image.  I found it on the internet.  I made all my own flowers either with the Spellbinders Bitsy Blossom die or a Marvey punch.  Everything has been distressed with Rangers Brushed Corduroy. 

Here is the actual Bracelet Box for the Swap.  If you watch the video you can see the Charm Dangle inside and how I decorated the inside of the box.  The Eiffel Tower is a CottageCutz die and I made it 3D.  This image is also something I found on the internet.

When I purchased my Bracelet box it came with two other jewelry boxes so I just continued to alter them as I went along.  I painted this box a nice deep rich chocolate brown.  I used cheesecloth under my roses and stickled it with icicle stickles.  See the CottageCut 3D mini Eiffle Tower....isn't it cute on this.  The corner is a Cheery Lynn die.  I believe I put some hand crochet flowers and a couple small crochet doilies inside this box.

Here we have another box that was in the set I purchased.  By the way I got the 3 boxes at the dollar store in a package.  I painted this with the rich brown paint.  This image matches the Easel Card.  I used a Tim Holtz rosette die and a paper doily on this.  Again the little mini Eiffel tower in the lower left corner.  This box contained some "Paris" themed chipboard pieces and a metal Fleur de Lis.

Believer it or not this is an altered box of Ferrero Rocher Chocolates!  After all my swap partner said her favorite color was Chocolate....that's my kind of girl.  I know this says Chocolate in french-exactly what else I am not sure....lol  I used the CottageCutz Eiffel Tower on this and a couple rows of Martha Stewart Doily punch border. 

This is an altered Glassine bag.  It contains a French themed Prima Stamp set.  I used the Martha Stewart Doily Border again, Cottage Cutz Eiffel Tower, Paper Doily and flowers and corner to match.

One last look at a few of the items and how they coordinated together.  I had a blast making this.  Markisha really loved it and I am just thrilled.  I have included a video below if you would like to see what was inside the boxes and more details about the project.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope you have enjoyed your visit.  Guess what?  I joined another swap!!!  lol  I have been working on that this past weekend.  Fun Fun Fun.  I will share with you soon the beautiful Bracelet Box and Charm Dangle I received from my partner.  Probably in a couple of days.
Happy Crafting!!!!
