Hello ladies! I hope you are having a fantastic week! I am loving doing layouts right now with lots of layers and clusters so I hope you enjoy this template I made with just that! Can’t wait to see what you make with it!

But first, some inspiration from ScrapMatters’ awesome CT!

Here is one from Kim, (kmkarayannis) using Footloose and Fancy Worn Papers, Solids, Patterns and Elements, Making Waves, Love that Boy Kit and Alpha, Footloose and Fancy Scatters, and stitching from Mischief Monsters all from Graham Like the Cracker

Next we have one from Kat, ((ktanker) using “almost every piece of April Mix-a-kit available!”

Here’s one from Trista, (ScrappyT) Using Foot Loose and Fancy: Elements, Papers, Worn Papers by Graham Like the Cracker part of April Mix-A-Kit collection
Springy – The Alphas by WM[squared] part of April Mix-A-Kit collection

and my CT decided to play too!

from JennS using Quentin & Emma by Graham Like the Cracker

and Jane, (JaneAgain) using Rainbows and Butterflies by WM [squared] and Graham Like the Cracker

Ophelia, (Navaja77) made this touching page using For Him by Graham Like the Cracker and Date Element by WM [squared]

Emma, (Hobbess130) made this heritage layout using FamilyMatters by GLTC and WM [squared] and (carry my heart) by GLTC and Stolen Moments

1-20-2011 Hybrid Corner: Altered Wood Container

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Hello, Cathy here with today’s Hybrid Corner.  It’s a New Year and that means a fresh start.  In my house I’ve been cleaning out, donating unused items and trashing the junk.  What’s left is being re-organized and straightened up!  So today I thought I would share with you how to alter a wooden container.  This way when you get organized, you can put things away in attractive containers.

For this project I used a round wooden chipwood box with a lid.  I found a set of 3 nesting ones at my craft store.  I’m going to use my box to store hot cocoa packets, so the digital kit I used for this is Frosty by WM [squared] Designs. Aren’t the colors great? And those elements are so cute!

This is my finished project

Other items you will need:

  • wooden container
  • lite sandpaper
  • adhesive/sealer
  • trimmer, scissors, craft knife
  • ink, paint (if desired)
  • glitter (if desired)
  • edge punch (if desired)
  • ribbon (if desired)

Let me start out by apologizing for the messy craft table in the background of my photos. Let’s just say my clean-up efforts have not yet gotten to that area of the house!  OK, Start by lightly sanding and cleaning the surface of the box.  I painted my box with acrylic paint in a light beige shade and allowed it to dry.

Next I applied crackle paint medium.  This stuff is kind of gooey and thick.  The thicker you apply it, the bigger the cracks you get.  I didn’t want too much texture to my surface so I went with a moderate coat.  As it dries, you’ll see the surface start to crack.

When the cracks start to appear, you can hasten the process using your heat embossing tool or a hair dryer.  It’s really cool to watch the cracks form.  Here’s a closer picture of the cracks:

Once the crackle paint was dry, I rubbed some distressing ink into the surface and gave it time to dry.

While it was drying, I created my design in Photoshop. I wanted a nice wintry scene with rolling hills.  I used Bend in the Road Curved Templates by Stolen Moments to create the hills. I printed this out and cut out the shapes.

To add some sparkle to the snowy hills, I painted on a bit of Glossy Accents and coated them with fine glitter.  I also applied the glitter to the snowflakes, snowman and penguin that I cut out.

I used Mod Podge paper adhesive to adhere the scene and snowflakes to the box. Once that was dry, I used Mod Podge Hard Coat to seal the project.  I like to use the hard coat as it dries non-tacky and will eventually become water-resistant. This is really nice for projects that you will want to be able to wipe with a damp cloth to clean.  I apply several coats of the sealant (4 to 5).  Allow plenty of time for drying and sand lightly between coats.

For the lid, I created a decorative edge using an edge punch, then covered the lid in papers.  I then applied the sealant coats of Mod Podge. Then I trimmed it with some ribbon. I used my ATG gun to adhere the ribbon.

Now I’ve got this really darling container for storing our hot cocoa packets.  Hope this inspires you to alter a container for your self or as a gift.  For me, I’d best be getting back to my clean-up!
