Remember to leave comments as you go, to be eligible for the draw where you can win a grab bag of great Quietfire Design rubber stamps! Each Designer will randomly choose a winner from the comments on their own Blog Hop post, so make sure you’ve commented by midnight Friday, October 19th.
Here's a peek at the latest release from Quietfire Design:
My project is a decorated storage box. I used a plant light box that was the right size to store my Quietfire Design winter/holiday stamps, dies, embossing folders, etc for this project. Use cardboard and cracker box pieces to reinforce the bottom of the box. Spray paint black. Make a wash of white glue and water. Crumple tissue paper, unfold and tear into pieces. Use glue wash and tissue to cover box exterior, being sure to add texture and ridges. Dry overnight. Use ink blending tool to apply Distress Inks (Dusty Concord, Shaded Lilac, Broken China, Worn
Lipstick). Add velcro tape for lid closure.
The rest is simply creating elements to be applied to the box with more glue wash. Here's an Enabler's List to tempt you astray :
Lid Panel: FlourishedNoel Set,
Here and There the Dark Pointed Firs, Spellbinders ResplendentRectangles, Brilliance Pearlescent Jade inkpad, Distress Stickles Rock Candy, gold gel pen
Front Panel: WarmWinter Wishes, ChristmasCuddlers Word Set, Spellbinders ResplendentRectangles, Spellbinders Small Deckled Mega Rectangles, Worn Lipstick Distress Ink
Right End Panel: Snowflakes are the Fairydust, Spellbinders ResplendentRectangles, Memory Box Frostyville Snowflake Border, Perfect Pearls Mist, Broken China Distress Ink
Back Panel: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow (Large), FlourishedWintertime Images, Broken China Distress Ink
Left End Panel: Deck the Halls Set, Memory Box Frostyville Snowflake Border, Perfect Pearls Mists, red and green gel pens
Once assembled and dry, lightly rub Dusty Concord inkpad lightly over ridges to highlight texture. Allow to dry a few days and go over surface again with glue wash for a good sealer coat.
Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to leave comments on all the Design Team blogs for chances to win prizes.
Good Luck!

OoOOoOOo. Monica, I love this, what a great Christmas box idea, lovely designs. Is this winnable too? hehe.
Love the tissue technique over the black. Beautiful project.
That tissue over the black is stunning. Love that you made each side a different design. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! You did a huge project! Thanks for all the great ideas! And, do you really have 18 cats?
cute idea. i love the texture and coloring that you used. i need to think more "out of the box" what fun.
What a great idea and a beautiful way to store seasonal items! Fabulous textures, colors and design!
Great creation, Monica! Thanks for sharing. Nelda
Very creative ideas. And so many of them. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Loving the crumpled tissue effect! What a brilliant idea! I steer away from covering boxes because I can never get the paper smooth...now you have given me the answer! messy and inky too...great fun! Beautiful box, really super! TFS
Hm-m-m. This time thinking "outside the box" meant actually ON the box. Great idea for organizing Christmas related "toys". I think we'd all probably need to make several. I love the Resplendent Rectangles die set, but even more I like how you built up the background on which to put the beautiful calligraphy.Thanks for the ideas.
wonderful project. Love the glue wash/tissue paper background. You used a lot of stamps - BIG GRIN
Have a great day
Wonderful Monica! Love the background! What a great treasure box!
Wanda, what an interesting thing to do with a plant box. Makes me want to play with tissue paper more often. It is not something I usually use. Carmen G.
Monica, sorry about mixing up your name. Where was my mind! Carmen
Lovely. Will be a perfect place to keep Christmas storage.
Great idea! Love the crumpled effect. Thank you for sharing your creativity!
Nicely done. I have done a similar technique years ago using rice paper - never thought at the time to use tissue paper. Well done. I love your fur babies in your photo. I miss my 2 guys...Toby was a ginger and Zeus was black & white...they were brothers.

What a clever Idea! I love the colors and the details that you put into this storage box.
Pretty holiday things. Getting me in the mood to get started on some projects.
What a gorgeous box! I love the crumpled paper under the die cuts.
How pretty! Love all the colors and the great texture!
Beautiful project Monica - each side is beautiful just by itself then all that put together - i bet it is even more stunning in person as photos probably don't do it justice to get the 3-D effect.
What a lot of lovely details on this project, thanks for sharing it with us.
Wonderful work, for sure. Love the effect you have created.
What a great project! I love the snowflake panel the best.
Great idea for storing your stamps. Love the white snowflakes on the colored background.

Love the snowflake edges setting off the sentiment.
This project is so amazing. I love the way the background paper sets off the stamps and punched elements. I would want to be reaching for my winter stamps and dies all the time just to look at the box!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations!
