​2019 POE BLOG HOP

Sign up not required...simply join the hop at any time before 5 to midnight PST on January 23 to join the fun!

Find more details here 

To start I am just sharing pictures of my Poe ATC box that I made last year -
hopefully over the next few days I will have some new makes to show you.


For my box I started with an empty wooden whisky case - just right for upcycling!!


I discovered the box was just the right size for ATC storage!

Anyway, first I covered top and sides with a paper from a Tim Holtz idea-ology paper stash, distressed round the edges with black soot.

I then started decorating this with images printed on a grunge/steampunk paper from
 Imagine That Digistamps and matted on black card.


The raven and sentiments are from Vera Lane Edgar Allan Poe

The next set are stamped with archival ink using Smeared Ink stamps (sadly a company who no longer trade)


I attached these to the sides of my box...







 I then added the images on the top. I printed these on the grunge/steampunk paper from Imagine That Digistamps and matted them on black card. I then used a variety of markers to add colour.
The middle element on the top uses Ike's Poe Death Bed,.


On the right of this I have an ATC using a sentiment from Vera Lane Edgar Allan Poe

And to the left - of course - Leigh's Oddleigh Edgar Allan Poe

This is the top of the box...



I added a heart embellishment which just seemed to be destined for this box...

Next the inside - again I covered top and bottom with a paper from a Tim Holtz idea-ology paper stash, and then added an assortment of elements again using images printed on that grunge/steampunk paper from Imagine That Digistamps and matted on black card.

Again I used Ike's Poe's Death bed

Poe is from Vera Lane Edgar Allan Poe

And then my favourite cat digi from Smeared Ink.


Next we have Leigh's Oddleigh Raven Nevermore

The next ATC is stamped with archival ink using a Smeared Ink rubber stamp
 (sadly a company who no longer trade)

And last but not least I have Ike's Raven Poe


I attached these to the inside of my box...

My next task was to start filling it with ATCs - I hope to add a few more over the next few days...


I will add this post to the linky!

 Happy Crafting!
