Vicki here and it's time for my September Craft-Dee BowZ Design Team post. This month we are working with one of my favorite themes....Steampunk! We are also using numbers, and the colors turquoise and brown. I chose to alter a Maya Road Chipboard Tag Box that has been in my stash for quite a while. It contains eight altered chipboard tags with inspirational quotes on them.
Altered Chipboard Tag Box
The front of the box is embellished with a butterfly that I die-cut in triplicate and layered to give it dimension, die-cut gears, metal charms and pearls. The chipboard word "me" is embossed with distressed Tea Dye and Turquoise Glitter powders.

I added die-cut gears, metal flowers and butterflies along with pearls on the left, right and back sides of the box. The burlap and rhinestone trim are wrapped around the top of the bottom box section.
Here's a view of the box with the top section removed.
Inside the box are 8 chipboard tags that I have also altered.
The tags are chained together and fit perfectly inside the box. Each tag is altered on both sides...the back side of the tag contains an inspirational quote. This is also where I used the number theme. Below are several tags that I chose as my favorites. There were just too many photos to add them all to the post.
The tags are also numbered on the side with the inspirational quote. I used lots of die-cuts, flowers, and metal numbers on the tags. The little turquoise ribbon and twine bows were made with my Craft-Dee BowZ Tool.
This "BOW"! I love this striped ribbon that came in our DT product this month. It couldn't be anything less than perfect since it was made using my awesome Craft-Dee BowZ Bow Making Tool. It sure makes creating fabulous bows quick and easy!
