Guest Designer Jennifer Beason

Hello, everyone. It’s such a pleasure to be here with you today. I am a huge fan of Lori Whitlock’s and jumped at the chance to be a guest designer when I was asked. I hope you enjoy my project as much I enjoyed creating it.

If you’ve seen my work before, this project may look a little familiar. The original was created as a gift box for my son’s teacher last year.  But a good friend wanted me to create a similar piece, for a party, she is having next month. Here’s the design I came up with.

The watermelon box was made as the base and to hold everything together. I used thin chipboard to make the box first, then covered it with patterned paper. I added waves to the top of the box and some fun starfish.

The phrase “are we there yet” and a 3d flower were glued onto to a die-cut popsicle and positioned to the right of the box.

The castle was attached to some wood dowels and glued to the inside of the watermelon box. To make the sunglasses look more realistic some 3d crystal lacquer was applied.

The sand pail was constructed and tickets were glued inside. The pail was then glued in place on the castle.

To add some pops of color pinwheels were added, as well.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  Wishing you all a safe and happy Summer!

Jennifer
