Safari Adventure

Mixed Media Box with

'A walk down Memory lane'

Hello dear G45ers! 

Sharing a Mixed Media Box with a Tag Album

I have created this project using the
 lovely Graphic 45 Mixed Media Box with 
magnetic closure. I just adore these boxes 

they are so versatile and super fun to create with!

Kraft and Ivory Tags.

Mat the mixed media box both the outside 
and inside with the pattern sheets. You can 
use your own discretion when measuring, 
I normally leave a small border so that 

I can still see a bit of the box. Make sure 

not to cover the window of the box.

Mat the tags with another set of

 kraft/ivory tags back to front, thus

 seeing either the kraft or ivory 

colour behind the words

Tip: This is optional, the word will be 

covered mostly, I used these tags 

specifically so that the die-cut words would

create extra texture behind the embellishments.

Mat the the ephemera cards onto some

 extra kraft/ivory papers and add little 

tabs to the top from the pattern sheets. 

Tip: Cut small strips from the pattern paper 

for the tab, fold in half and  glue these 

behind the cards.

Cut a few die-cut leaves for decoration from

 the pattern sheets, kraft and ivory papers.

Colour the chipboard circles and 

arrows with some rust pastes.

Paint some of the chipboard leaves 

with sparks paint and ink the edges 

with the decades photogenic ink pad.

Emboss some of the other chipboard

 leaves and circle with a vintage pearl 

colour and the title in green.

Adhere the metal keyhole to the metal
door plate and then adhere the door
knob to the keyhole. Add two small brass 

brads to the open holes on the keyhole.
 Adhere this to the flap side of the box.

Tip: Adhere the metal embellishments with 
a soft gloss gel ensuring they stay in place. 

Add some of the die-cut leaves, 

chipboard leaves and flowers on the

 other side of the box. Place the resin

 elephant on top of the leave 

embellishment cluster.

Add some of the accompanying 

chipboard embellishments to the 

box. Add the chippie title to the 

bottom of the box.

Add the matted ephemera cards to the

 tags and decorate the 'word' side

 with some of the die-cut leaves, chipboard,

 feathers, porcupine quills and wool.

Add eyelets and string to some of the 

chipboard embellishments and adhere 

with some adhesive foam squares for

 extra dimension. Add a button to the leaves embellishment cluster.

Add  a swivel clasp to the first 

tag, add some extra metal 

embellishments to the chain.
