House Shaped Box

Hi friends do you sometimes look back on an old project and felt it was downright boring! Well I decided to revamp this somewhat plain paper holder I made  more than 3 yrs back!

House Shaped Box

I love adding handmade flowers to my projects and find making flowers from shrink plastic absolutely fantastic! 
Shrink Plastic
There is something magical about cutting a sheet of plain plastic , heating it , oohing and aahing over how it shrinks & shaping it into a beautiful flower!

Here is how the box looks with the roof removed!

And hehe though this is a utility item, I admit I don't really use the papers from this holder...this paper holder just sits on my table for me to look at and smile!!

Supplies used: Dies :  Flower and Leaf dies from Dress My Craft, Lace ,Leaf- Crealies. Papers : Graphic 45 Time to Flourish

  4. Hi, Sonia! I would sit and smile if that was on my desk, too! Your "re" creation is LOVELY! It is like walking through a fragrant garden while sitting and doing work! It would be a great potpourri holder! I have never considered using shrink plastic with die cuts - my shrink wrap is older than the first die cut machine - does that tell you how long it has been since I thought of playing with it? OH SO BEAUTIFUL, Sonia! hugs, de

  5. This is stunning, so beautiful. I would not use it either, too beautiful and it is better to enjoy looking at it. Great idea with the shrink plastic!
