These book boxes make great gifts and displays of your favorite paper collections. Here I used Graphic 45 Fairy Wings. 

Let’s start the fun!

Use crackle paint to edge around the book box, and paint the edges on the inside of the box. 

Measure and cut out the panels for the inside/outside of the box, then add a contrasting edging. Use white paint the shabby chic the edges. 

Die-cut a frame, embossed with an embossing folder, I used Tim Holtz Bricked, but you can use any.

 distress and shabby chic the edges with white paint. Use a little green paint to lightly highlight embossed areas. 

Add one of the panels to the front of the box and lightly paint the spine with white paint. Then add the frame and here I have used the Graphic 45 stickers to embellish. 

Fussy cut fairies and flowers. 

Start adding and layering the flowers, then add the fairy. 

Add an ornate corner and use a little white paint to highlight. This gives a shabby chic look. 

Add the ornate corners to the two corners of the box. Use a brush to start to shabby chic the flowers and edges. 

Start adding the panels inside and outside the box.

Die-cut flowers using scraps from the leftover papers, layer and glue about four or five together, make a hole in the middle, and add the stemman. 

Shabby chic the flowers, cut the tags, and shabby chic them also. 

I used various stamps to use as a background on the tags. This helps add dimension. Die-cut leaves and place underneath the flower then place on the tag. Have fun adding the fussy cut fairies and flowers. Tie some organza ribbon on the tag to finish. Place the tags in the box.
