Creating a Faux Stained Glass Window

 Hi there!

In my latest YouTube/Facebook Video I showed how to create a faux stained glass window on the top of one of the new Stampin' Up! Kraft Gift Boxes.  These boxes are fabulous as they actually fit cards and envelopes in them!  Yay!, as I quite like to give some of my cards as presies from time to time I'm really stoked that these are the right size.

They have a little window at the top of them, which is where the stained glass bit comes into play....

So how do you do this?

Before you put the box together, using Black Stazon Ink stamp the image onto one side of the window, then use a black permanent marker pen to draw on the rest of the stained glass bits.

Turn the box over, and on the opposite side colour in the parts with Stampin Blends (alcohol markers)  NB do not colour in the side that has the stazon on it!  if you do the stazon will run, and you'll end up with muddy colour.

Pop your box together and viola one stained glass window effect.

Just in case, you do want to check out the video:

I have used the new Angels of Peace Stamp set, so pretty!  and there's heaps of fabulous goodies in the new Mini Catalogue, have you checked it out yet? and did you know that until 30th September for every $90 you purchase you can pick out a FREE Sale-a-Bration item?   Or, if there's so much you want, that getting a discount would be worth it, why not join my team, The CreateAbles, during Sale-a-Bration when you join not only do you get the amazing deal of pick $235 of products and only pay $169! but also you can choose from one of 12 new bundles from the mini catalogue!

I hope this inspires you to create, and have a go!
