This is a foam box I made by cutting fun foam with Spellbinders Labels 1 dies. The walls of the box were made by using the two smallest sizes of dies centered in each other on the foam, resulting in a foam "frame". About 10 of these were cut and stacked to form the walls, and glued together on a solid cutout of the second smallest die. (I hope that's clear). To make the walls smooth on the outside, I covered them with Liquitex Modeling Paste gel medium (it has marble dust in it). Then I painted the sides with diluted Certainly Celery reinker. The top was made from fun foam then covered with a piece of smooth paper stamped with one of the JustRite Applique Decorative Borders & Centers stamps, which had been painted with Stampin Up markers (Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, and Certainly Celery). The crystal embellishments are Jolee's Jewels Crystallized Swarovski Elements (hotfix).
