To make my project, I began by painting the outside lid and box using Antique White craft paint.

Next, sponge the edges of the box with brown ink.

Cut a piece of pattern paper, slightly smaller than the box lid, then distress the edges by sponging brown ink.

For a little more distressing, spritz the pattern paper with green glimmer mist, then adhere it to the box lid.

Next, use the Fancy Lattice die template to cut dark brown card stock, then use a paper trimmer to cut four strips to decorate the sides of the lid.

Cut more pieces using Fancy Lattice using tan card stock. I sponged a bit of toffee ink to add some distressing. These will be for the box sides.

Adhere the pieces of lattice to the top and sides as shown.

Cut ivory card stock using the number 4 Labels Twenty-six die and sponge green ink while still in the die template. Cut a second piece using the number 2 die template and sponge the same way. 

Add stamping to the labels pieces and adhere to the lid using dimensional adhesive. I added some flowers, made using Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms set, along with some crepe ribbon and wire mesh ribbon.

For my second project, I made a Thank You card. This time, instead of cutting out the Fancy Lattice, I embossed it and created a popped up Labels Twenty-six frame to accent the focal image. I love how versatile Spellbinders die templates are and all the creative techniques to try with them!
