Box with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Inside the Box".


For this challenge I made a foam board box in which I can store all my vintage photos and paper dolls. I always like to make something out of this fabulous material. Mostly glue gun is used for adhering the parts together, but I can't really handle it properly, so I had to find an alternative. My trick for gluing foam board together is Tacky Glue in combination with 18 mm pins. They provide extra strength and help keep everything in place while the glue dies.

 

For decoration I used the new Dotted stencil with Texture Paste and to give this a color I used Distress Spray Stain in Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers. I also used Antique Brilliance Mystic Turquoise wax and Nuvo Mousse Pure Platinum to give it some metallic shimmer.

 

Another tip while working with foam board. If you want to use screws for the clasp or hinges, dip them in Tacky Glue before screwing them into the foam board. This gives them more grip and they stay in better.

    Wow! This is such a clever and beautiful project. I had no idea you could do this with foam board, so I appreciate the inspiration and all of the great tips for using foam board. I especially love how you did the dots with dimension and soft and bold colors!
