Give Thanks Project
When I first started creating this project I had a fall-themed and Thanksgiving vision. I wanted to create a project that our readers could easily re-create themselves and use not just seasonally, but anytime of the year. My "Give Thanks" box could be used as a hostess gift or as a gift on any occasion.
Start by painting the wood boxwith a tan colored acrylic paint and allow to dry. Then paint with Antique Bronze crackle paint. The metallic crackle paints take quite a while to dry compared to the regular crackle paint so you will have to set it aside for at least an hour - maybe longer depending on the thickness of the coat. Once it has dried, use a small container and add 1 part water to 1 part gesso. Mix with a paint brush and then paint lightly over the box, then gently dab with a paper towel. Allow to dry. Once dried you can paint over the entire box with Matte Collage Pauge. This will seal and protect the paint and wood and prevent the paint from chipping.
Cut out the girl image from the Tuscan Rose collage sheet and cut it down to size so that it fits just inside the Melissa Frances Newstead Frame. Glue the collage image onto the center of the box using a glue stick adhesive and the glue the frame on using Diamond Glaze for a strong hold.
Take a few of the grass flowers from the Prima Wildwood Natural Flowers and glue onto the right side of the image by using just a little Diamond Glaze on the bottom of the stem and then place onto the image.

Mail Forwarded by the Post Office
If you forward mail to your new address through the Post Office, it won't apply to periodicals/your magazine subscription unfortunately. Also, since mail forwarding only lasts for a short time-frame, we request that you still notify us of your address change to prevent any service interruption to your subscription.
Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for replacing "lost" issues from your subscription, if we did not receive your change of address request at least two months prior to your next issue's release date.
Subscription issues should arrive within the first week of the month your publication is released. Please add up to two weeks for international delivery.
If your magazine has not arrived by the 20th of the month, please contact our customer service department, so we can check to make sure nothing is amiss with your subscription, and see if you're eligible for a replacement copy. International subscribers can receive a digital version of the magazine as a replacement if one attempt has already been made to deliver the print edition to you.
Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for postal delays or circumstances outside of our control, but we will make every effort to make it right.
