Welcome to the April Creations by AR Release Design Team Blog Hop! Today we are showing you the marvelously creative design of Adela's Easel Top Box. This unique box can be used to store and display photos or recipes - I made mine as a way to store and display Bible Verses
I used a textured Coredinations paper in Mystic Grey for the outside of the box. I sponged all the edges with Ranger Distress Pumice Stone. The cross is a Nestability die as well as the oval it's adhered to
Here are photos of the box from all angles - open and closed.
The decorative piece along the bottom was put on because of a mistake I had to cover (!) its a silver Industrious Sticker - Borders from Tim Holtz that I inked with Orange Blossom and Fern Green Archival Inks. I didn't have enough to go around the whole box - so I just put it on the front.
The top of the cover when closed.
The box open - with the 9 Bible Verse cards I created tucked inside. You can see there's plenty of room for more! I included 3 blank ones where I could write special prayers or thoughts.
The back view when the easel is open -
I used Box Corners from Tim Holtz Ideology on the bottom corners of the box.
Side View
I made the Bible Verse cards using a Stitched Mat Rectangle die with Soft Stone card stock. Even though the verses are from different stamp sets - I kept them uniform by using the same colors of ink and the pretty stem stamp. The verses below are from Beautiful Blessings and Everyday Blessings by Papertrey Ink.
Some of these verse stamps are from Verve and Clear Dollar Stamps (no longer in business)
I will put this box either on my desk at work or on my window sill by the kitchen sink - where I can rotate the cards daily or weekly to remind me of God's word every day.
The finished box measures 6.18" W x 4.5" H x 3.25" D. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the template. It also comes as a PDF file that can be printed and hand cut out.

Absolutely gorgeous, love it, and this is an amazing idea for the kids too!
Julia, this is so stylish. Love the way you use the box.
Lovely box and beautiful use for it Julia!
Lovely! The bottom border and corners are perfect embellies.
I love the simplicity of your prayer box. Clean lines and the content of the box makes for a great display piece. This would make a statement in any room.
What a wonderful way to use this box, Julia! Nice way to give God the glory for your creativity! Love the simplicity of your design...so fitting for the purpose you chose!
I do art journaling, so this would be an ideal place to store inspirational quotes to use on my journal pages.
What an inspiration this is! Such a clever use for this box. I'm so happy you of the outcome! Thanks for sharing. BTW, it's nice you mentioned covering your "mistake", but it looks great anyway!

love your version and great idea
What a clever idea for your beautiful die cut box. I saw one used for photos at Patti's blog. Yours is really a unique and useful idea too! What a keeper!
What a fantastic idea, I would never have thought of doing something like that, I love it. Thanks for the opportunity. x
I think your box "mistake" made for a great addition. I do that all the time, too. Sweet idea, I have many people who would appreciate a prayer box. Thanks!
What a wonderful devotions box
A great idea and change from photos. It would make a wonderful gift.
