Up-cycled Vintage Suitcase

Hello Dear Reader, i am finally back with you a day later than i had planned i am sorry but you have no idea how much you have on your computer that you just cant function without until you have reloaded it all back on!  But it is done now and i am back with you my postings after today will continue as normal on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and maybe with a few bonus ones if you’re lucky :)
So my project to share with you is the vintage suitcase that i had told you about a few weeks ago that i had found at a boot sale that Mr.C had not wanted me to buy…. Well i did and i got to work with my staple gun and here it is as a display stand for a craft fair that i attended on Sunday in Chelmsford.
 
Here you can see it is all full with some of my wares for the day and i have just noticed that one of the cards had fallen down but this is the only photo i had taken as i had forgotten my camera so you will have to forgive me the poor photo. 
As you can see i have completely upholstered the inside with fabric as it had a wooden frame that i could staple into.  Then i raised the height of the bottom layer with a trusty cardboard box cut and shaped to fit the base.  I then covered a board as i would for a notice board without the ribbons as a flat surface for my gift boxes to rest on.  The lid of the suitcase has been turned into a no pin notice board with Stampin’ Up! gorgeous vintage faceted designer buttons and large pearls with add a bit off sparkle {and cover the staples ;) lol}
I will be back later in the week with details of my Easter gift baskets,  But for now just a quick reminder that Sale-a-Bration ends in 3 days so if there are any products you NEED from this fantastic promotion please be sure to get your order to me by 1pm Friday afternoon so that i can get it processed for you before the deadline.
Until next time

Fabric no pin notice board

Good morning; hope you are all well? Today i am sharing with you the last project in my collection for the magazine the no pin notice board that i made.

These boards are very easy to make i have made tons of them now for myself and for friends; this one incidentally i gave to my lovey friend and upline Bekka for her birthday earlier in the year.  You make yourself handy with a staple gun a piece of board some wadding and some gorgeous fabric this one is from the twitterpated collection of fabric then stretch tight as you staple all around the edge. Then i used the gorgeous lucky limeade ruffled ribbon to cross the board to make the places to tuck your mementoes into i also stapled at each cross point because i like the way it looks.  I love making these boards am even thinking of changing my one on my desk again!

If you would like any products used to produce this project then please contact me craftylittlemoo@hotmail.co.uk

Until Next Time
