Coral Reef Desktop Organizer

Hello lovelies.

I am back today with another new make made using products from the wonderful July Pickle Pack which you can get from Pickle Paper Patch.

For this creation I wanted to do something which showed off some of the stunning papers which are in the Pickle Pack.

So here is what I have been busy making 

Isn't the seahorse stunning.

I love love love the Jellyfish on this paper.

I absolutely love how this all came together and must admit this specific paper is one of my favourites in the kit. The lid is kept closed by magnetic closure which keeps it closed wonderfully. Now for the inside which holds a little surprise.

Doesn't it look wonderful, Again on the inside I have used one of the papers which is included in the Pickle Pack. 

Now for the final surprise

Yes the inside tray comes out and you can fit some lovely little gifts in this tray on either side. I have tried a few different things to put inside the tray and found that my Pixie Powders fit nicely even my Stampin' Up! ink refills. You could even put some nail varnish inside as have this as a little make-up organizer.

One last picture which shows the added detail I have added to this to give it that wonderful finishing touch

Here I have added some of the beautiful flowers and seashells which are also included in the pack.

I am over the moon with how this turned out and I hope this has given you plenty of inspiration of what you can make with parts from the pack, I still have plenty of products in the pack left which I can still use for other projects so I will of cause share anything else I make with this pack with you all.

Mermaid Beach Keepsake Box

Hey Hey Crafters

Today I am sharing a new project with you all which has been made using the wonderful products from the July Pickle Pack.

 One of the things I love about being on the Design Team for Pickle Paper Patch is that I get to work with fantastic products which spark an array of ideas of what can be done.

So today I am sharing something very special with you all which has been all handmade from scratch, So thought I would first show you the first few stages of making the box.

As I had mentioned above this was made from scratch every piece was hand-cut also and was a labour of love and I have to say the finished product has made every minute of this worth the time, love, effort and passion worth it.

Now to show you all the box all decorated. To decorate the outer edges I used some stunning designer series paper called Down By The Sea from Bo Bunny, which is included in the pack. The closure was also made from the same designer paper as what is used on the edges and is finished with a very cute laser cut seahorse which is also included in the pack.

Now for the inside of the box, all decorated using some of the beautiful designer series paper which is included in the kit

Now to show you the lid in more detail. The lid was made up of embellishments from the Pickle Pack excluding the large starfish and the base which everything sits upon is DecoArt Sand Texture Paste.

The mermaid has had a glitter paste finish put over her to make her sparkle this paste is in my own supplies. I also went over the sand texture paste, rope and edging with my blending tool and a little Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The lid does feature real shells which are in the pack along with the small cork vial, rope, laser cut starfish and seahorse.

Lastly I thought I would show you a little video of all the pictures together

So as you can see I have made a fair sized project with just a few supplies from the pack, I have plenty of supplies left to make more projects.

To get your very own Pickle Pack go to the Pickle Paper Patch Website. These packs are available every month and each one with a different theme, they are released on the 20th or each month and if you order before 26th you also get a free gift.

You can also find Pickle Paper Patch on Facebook and Instagram, Make sure to check out the Pickle Paper Patch Blog and You Tube Channel.

Make sure to keep your eyes open for more projects made with this fantastic Pickle Pack. I hope you have enjoyed taking a look at this Keepsake box and it has given you some inspiration with what you can achieve with just a few supplies and a bit of imagination.
