BBTB2 Crayon Box from TBBM


I really enjoyed coming up with my design for this week's BBTB2 challenge. The wonderful and infinitely talented, Regina, chose the crayon box from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I decided to make mine into a coupon holder for my granddaughter, Payton. She will be starting preschool this year and we told her we would take her to the store shopping for a new school outfit. Actually, I don't think my husband will really want to have anything to do with that endeavor, but I will enjoy taking her to shop and out for lunch. It will bring back memories of school shopping with my five kids when they were little. I cut my crayon box at 5" from golden yellow cardstock. Then to decorate the front of the box I used the crayons from the My Community cartridge.

I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder for the base of the crayons to add a little texture. I used two shades of each color cardstock one for the base of the crayon and one for the crayon wrapper and then used black cardstock for the top layer. I think they turned out looking pretty much like real crayons. I cut the tag from TBBM and backed it with a scalloped circle from Mini Monograms. My sentiment is a computer generated font and I colored it using my Copics. Then I tied it onto the crayon box using hemp cord. I also made the coupon for inside the crayon box with the same computer font.
