Mirabelle Keepsake Gift Box With Gift Tags Set By Artist Renea Harrison

 At Reneabouquets, we just launched a new addition to our April In Paris Collection called Mirabelle In Paris. I was very excited to get to work with the collection myself. It is one thing to draw, design and manufacture a product and it is a different way to create with it when you get to actually "play" with it. 
Sometimes, I just have to take the time to get to do that, because it brings me such immense joy to get to create this way. 

I decided to upcycle a little box that I had in my stash and turn it into a Keepsake Gift Box. I then created a bunch of little gift tags and notes to be used for topping off those gifts we all love to give to our friends and family.

The set Includes:
Box 5" Wide x 6" Tall x 1 1/2 "Deep
2 Large Gift Tags 3" Wide x 6" Tall
1 Chipboard Gift Tag 2 1/2 " Wide x 3 1/2 " Tall
1-Glitter Glass Heart Gift Tag 2 1/2 " Wide x 2 3/4 " Tall
A Little Pocket With:
2-Double Sided Note Cards 3 1/2 " Wide x 2 1/4 " Tall

1-Booklet Style Note Card 1 1/2 " Wide x 2 1/2 " Tall

 

The Cover Of The Box has a layer of Prima Lavender Papers. I ran some of the Mirabelle Lace down the side edge, pleating it a little as I went.  I then took a Vintage Image and topped it with a Beautiful Board Small Simply Beautiful Frame. I added Printed Beautiful Board Romance And Roses Tuck Ins to the corners. Next, a Small Sized Printed Beautiful Board Mirabelle In Paris Laser Cut Chipboard was added to the bottom, right hand corner, and the flowers are all from the Mirabelle Roses & Leaves Flower Set.

To get the crackle look, I painted the sides of the box with gold, metallic paint, let that dry, painted a layer of crackle medium, let that air dry and then painted over that with white acrylic paint and let that air dry to reveal the gorgeous crackle finish.

On the opening side of the box, I added magnets so that it stays closed, topped it with a piece from a set and then drilled a whole and glued the Glass Globe from the April In Paris Trinkets.

Inside the box is are the gift tags stacked into the box that include:

2 Large Tags, cut from Prima Lavender Papers and topped with Simply Beautiful French Embroidered Lace and Mirabelle Lace, more paper with distressed edges, a smaller version of the Vintage Image from the box, flowers from the Mini Heather Purple Mulberry Paper Spring Mix Roses And Cherry Blossoms Set  and hand dyed seam binding bows.

A  Beautiful Board Queen Anne's Lace ATC Tag, topped with  Prima Lavender Paper, Simply Beautiful French Embroidered Lace  , an Itty Bitty Printed Beautiful Board Mirabelle  , flowers from the Mini Heather Purple Mulberry Paper Spring Mix Roses And Cherry Blossoms Set  and a fuzzy purple hang ribbon with a tiny, Eiffel tower from the April In Paris Trinkets.

A Heart Tag, cut from chipboard, distress inked and topped with Plum Shard German Glitter Glass (so very Yummy) and a little distressed and inked "Dream" sentiment along with a fuzzy purple hang ribbon.

On the inside right page is a little pocket topped with Mirabelle Lace and a Tiny Treasures Mirabelle's Rose Garden Butterfly. Tucked inside are some little note cards created from Prima Lavender Paper.

Here you can see the inside set in it's entirety. 

I hope that you have loved seeing my project created with some of the products that I create for you. I appreciate all of you who support our small, artist made, family business and hope that I have inspired you to create something beautiful of your own. Hugs ~Renea
