Top Note Character Boxes

I've been goofing around with the Top Note die and creating different character boxes.  I've already posted Rudolph and the witch, but thought I would post all the rest of the creations.  I made the girl one afternoon and my son saw it and told me he wanted me to make a boy.  I thought he turned out good...I think I like the boy the best.

Anyway, hope you enjoy them....

This is supposed to be Frosty the Snowman, however I do recognize that he looks more like a clown than a snowman...I don't think the Top Note shape does his face much justice.  Oh well...back to the drawing board...

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

I spent most of the day crafting more character treat boxes.  I posted a tutorial for this one that you can see by clicking on the title above.

This box was designed to look like the young Rudolph from the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Christmas show.  I used Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Whisper White, Real Red, and Basic Black card stock along with Chocolate Chip Craft Ink and a number of punches.  The Top Note die was used as the base for the box.

Witchy Woman

Well I spent half of the day searching on-line for jobs...yuk.  Got word yesterday morning that one of the places I interviewed at was "moving in a different direction" with the job opening they had.  Such a stressful roller coaster ride this job search thing can be.

Well the other half of the day I spent losing myself in my craft room making up little boxes for Halloween and Christmas.  Today I'm sharing the witch box I made.  I used Sahara Sand, Basic Black and Lovely Lilac card stock along with Old Olive and Lovely Lilac classic ink.  On the face I used the large oval punch and several different sized circle punches.  For the eye lashes I used the large flower from the Boho Blossoms punch.  The face is designed on the Top Note die cut with the Big Shot.  I'm planning a video tutorial for this piece so check back if you are interested in seeing how I made her step by step.

Big Shot Chest of Drawers

Today was back to school for my kids after a week long break.  The kids were very excited to go back which makes it a lot easier for us parents.

Okay Big Shot fans, have I got a box for you.  This one uses the Top Note die and the Matchbook die, plus the flower on top is made with the Daisies Flower #2 die.  It is constructed with four Matchbooks adhered together and a Top Note on top and bottom.  A piece of designer paper wraps around three sides to dress it up.  Four rhinestone brads serve as knobs for the drawers.  This one was made with Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry card stock with accents from the Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper.

This is a favorite of mine, made recently at a workshop (designed by Susan Barron).
