Hi everyone, happy crafting day!! This is my favourite posting day. I just LOVE creating things and each week the project is a bit of a surprise to me. I start out with a vague idea of what I want to make and then just start!
This week I got a new set of tarot cards and decided I needed a nice box to store them in. I wanted something with a vintage or rustic style that would fit both of my decks, my book and a journal. Sadly, my book won’t fit but I will be able to add a journal.
I used one of the boxes from my Glossybox subscription, two sheets 12×12 paper, PVA glue, texture paste (recipe below), book pages, glue stick, staining ink and sponge, jute ribbon, and regular ribbon.
Texture Paste Recipe
Mix together…
- 6 tbsp Baby Powder
- 3 tbsp White Acrylic Paint
- 2 tbsp PVA Glue
The paste smells strongly of the baby powder so if that’s a smell you hate you could try using baking soda instead.

I hope you enjoy the project 💜 Please let me know if you decide to try it out.

Cosy Reading Night April 2020
Lauren and the Books has decided to host her Cosy Reading Night’s every other week while we’re all social-distancing. It’s a great idea but I doubt I will be taking part that frequently. I did join in in last Friday’s one though and had a lovely time 🙂 I made some tasty food, popped open… Read More Cosy Reading Night April 2020

Love it 😍
The mushroom dress and then I’d find a garden I could run around in like a faerie!

My wife has a tendency to watch multi episodic programmes she finds on Netflix but I am awfully glad she…
This is an awesome idea. I really need to make one now because my tarot decks are just stacked on a shelf. This is a better way to keep them and protect them.

That’s an adorable project. It so happens that I just bought a new deck from Baba Studio – the new Mythical Creatures tarot. A box like this would be perfect.
