Nail Art Capricorn Star Sign~ Chinese New Year 2015 Year Of The Goat

This pillow box began as an A4 sheet of white card stock.  First I created the design of the pillow box using a blank template in Craft Artist 2 and Serifs Roald Dahl Digikit collection 2, James And The Giant Peach.  Next I printed out the completed template and cut it out by hand and folded along the score lines.  Once folded I glued the side flaps.  I then put some nail art into the pillow box as a little gift.  The nail art was created using the Brother Scan N Cut pre-installed images I chose the dressmakers dummy and a goat for the Chinese new year 2015 which is the goat,  It could also be for Capricorn star sign.  The images were then re-sized and cut out by the machine from vinyl. I then removed the excess vinyl to reveal the nail on on its backing paper.

Roald Dahl ~ James And The Giant Peach Pillow Box Decoupage

Hello bloggers I hope that you are well and had a good start to the week.  Today I have another Roald Dahl creation this time a pillow box.

This project began as an A4 sheet of white card stock.  First I used Serif 'Roald Dahl Digikit collection 2' CD-ROM  to choose a template and then I added different elements to build up my design.  Once I was happy with it I printed it onto the white card stock.  Next I cut the pillow box out and then scored the score lines giving the box its shape.  I added a glue dot to each end to hold  the flaps together.  Next I added two images of a peach to a blank page and then printed it out onto white card stock.  I then fussy cut out the peaches.  They were decoupaged up onto the peach on the back of the pillow box.  I used the decoupage to act as a fastener to lock the flap into place.  A quick, fun and easy make.
