Spring themed Tissue box holder

I've been cleaning up my computer files and deleting old photos to make room on my hard drive and came across these pictures for a fabulous project I made quite a while back, which seems to yet another one that missed my blog.  Since I loved this project, I thought you might like it too so I thought I'd share the photos with you.


This tissue box cover was made using a tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers that you can find here:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/tissueboxcover/  It is actually very easy to create the box itself, and then it is up to you to decorate the way you want.


On the top, you see that I used pop up foam dots to put a pretty frame over the opening.  The frame is made with the decorative oval window die from Heartfelt Creations.  


All the flowers and butterflies, hummingbird and lady bugs are also from Heartfelt Creations.  What made this feasible and not too labour intensive was that there were coordinating dies to accompany many of the stamped images, so I didn't have to spend too much time doing hand cutting.

The lace on the edges was from our local fabric store, and I used some distress ink on the edges for depth.

I hope this inspires you to try out this tutorial, it was fun and relatively easy.  I think now I'll have to do a Christmas themed one!
