Tim Holtz Configurations Box
I have wanted to make one of these for quite a while. I knew I didn't want to cover the whole box with the Tim Holtz tape as I've seen many do. That just seemed way too much work. When I decided to give his Distress Stains a try on one of these, I knew I'd discovered a way for me to really enjoy this.
I sanded the Configurations Box just a bit and then applied Vintage Photo Distress Stain on all the areas that would show, inside and out. It dried very quickly. I was able to stamp my checkerboard Stampin'Up background stamp all the way around the outside of the box.
I checked around my odds and ends drawer looking for all the game pieces and game-related items I could find. I was surprised to see how much I had that would fit right into my Game Piece Configurations Box.
I really enjoyed this project. Of course, I think it helped that I started with one of the smallest Configurations Boxes. The large ones would really overwhelm me. I'd probably try this again with another theme, maybe a holiday one.
