Hortensia Sliding Box

I think I mentioned that I was taking part in another Facebook Live Workshop with Clare from My Creative Spirit last weekend, this is the box that we created - it has a sliding lid, when I first saw what we were going to make I was a little worried, I thought it would be rather difficult but Clare's instructions were easy to follow and the process is quite straight forward.


Above you can see the box closed and below you can see it with the lid partly open, I used papers from the Stamperia Hortensia collection to decorate my box, the inside has been covered with black card stock, I am currently working on the album that goes inside - Claire shows us how to make the album base in the workshops and gives us several different options for decorating but leaves it up to us to decide on what papers to use and how to finish our albums.


This is the box with the lid completely removed.


The Hortensia papers are gorgeous, it was quite difficult to cut into them - below you can see the decorated sides of the box, I will share the album when I have completed it, it could take quite a long time!


Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Such a sophisticated, tremendously lovely project. The mitred corners add an even deeper layer of classic elegance to this wonderful make.
