Custom Shadow Box and X-ACTO Giveaway!

X-ACTO recently contacted me to do a giveaway here and try out a few new products.  Since the X-ACTO knife is one of my favorite tools I said "Yes!"

We use X-ACTO knives all the time in the Art Department at Hambly Studios. I also use them at home for different projects. (such as helping to remove stabilizer backing when doing embroidery, and cleaning the kiln wash off the back of my glass pendants after I fire them. Plus my husband is always stealing them for his hobbies. He likes the grip on the designer series.) You can see more ways to use them in the X-ACTO Creative Knife Uses Guide. 

Of course they are a must for any papercrafter or scrapbooker. Here's an easy home decor project I created with just a few supplies using the X-ACTO knife. 

Supplies:

• Shadow box (this one is martha stewart crafts)
• Hambly Washi Tape
• Assorted chipboard letters
• X-ACTO (I prefer the retractable knife now that there's a baby in the house)

1. Using a mix of chipboad letters pick what you want to cover in tape.

2. Cover the front of the letters with washi tape. 

3. Flip the letter over and use the X-ACTO to follow the sides of the chipboard and cut the washi tape. 

4. Do the same thing to all the letters and use the X-ACTO to trim off all the extra washi tape. 

5. I applied a layer of crystal glaze to help seal the letters. 

6. Glue the letters to the outside of the shadow box, and then decorate the inside. You can use this technique to cover any peices of chipboard you have with paper, or washi tape. Then add the custom made letters to any project or layout. 
*Giveaway* 

X-ACTO would like to giveaway an X-ACTO prize pack containing a Retract-a-Blade knife, Designer Series Gripster craft knife and Self-healing mat to 1 lucky reader. Leave a comment below to enter. (open to US addresses only, giveaway ends Nov. 10) Also visit the Hambly blog for another chance to win the X-ACTO prize pack.

What a great idea. I love the washi tape!

[Zoey]

I could not work without X-ACTO blades. They are the first thing to go in my craft kit. What an adorable little girl. I can't wait to try this project myself.

[Mandy]

Love the idea of adding pattern to the letters. I wouldn't have thought to try it with tape!

[christi]

I would love to win. I never thought to cover chipboard with washi. I'm inspired!

[Darius B'Alexander]

X-Acto rotary trimmers are ideal for precise cutting of Origami papers and for any paper-craft enthusiast worth a darn, X-Acto blades are the best for trimming them out to the smallest detail, they make building this model a dream http://www.flying-pig.co.uk/flying-pig
