Cut the craft technicalities... What exactly is a "Configuration Box"? "Configuration Box" is a term first coined in Tim Holtz Ideology Collection (please correct me if i'm wrong), which gives really great flexibility on however you want to arrange and showcase them. They come in various sizes (see below) and make awesome scrapbooking supplies. Click here for a YouTube video on Tim Holtz Configuration Basics But the truth is, we dont always have to buy Tim Holtz Configuration Boxes... Let's be friendly to our Mother Earth and use recycled gift boxes! They work just as well! (: There are just two simple steps to creating your own configuration box! Image credits to Squidoo.com, Image Source: Squidoo.com First steps in preparing the configuration box: Most importantly, there must be a general layout, i.e. how we want the removable inner boxes to be places and an overall idea on what to place in each box. For instance, if we planned to put a miniature Christmas Tree in one of the sections, there must be ample spaces! Image Source: Squidoo.com Filling a section: ALL IN THE NAME OF YOUR CREATIVITY. Fit in pre-cut background paperstock (acid-free paper for keepers' sake), there's no general guidelines for the paper weight, therefore whatever pleases you! For the distressed vintage look in the photo, use Tim Holtz Paper Distresser to distress the edges of the pre-cut background paperstock. And finally, some images of configuration boxes to inspire you!
