THURSDAY MEANS THAT’S IT TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

For this gift box I used two A4 pieces of Pecan Pie card stock.

The card used for the lid was stamped with the magnolia bud image in Pecan Pie.

All four sides were scored at 1 7/8″. After burnishing the score lines, with my bone folder, I cut the sides as shown below – just down to the scored line. I also cut away a small wedge on both sides of the flap.

I used Stampin’ Seal+ to adhere the four flaps, creating the gift box lid.

For the gift box base, I used the same process but increased the scoring measurement to 1 1/2″. This means that the lids is slightly larger than the base, allowing for an easy fit.

I used the large circle from the Everyday Details Dies to cut two pieces of Pecan Pie and one White Vellum, for the lid of the box.

For the first circle, I layered the card and vellum layers before I die cut two of the magnolia dies and layered them. Then I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals under the flowers, allowing for a place to run a length of burlap ribbon, from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo.

I wrapped the ribbon around the box and tied a bow.

For the second circle, I stamped the greeting from the Magnolia Mood Stamp Set and the magnolia bud image.

I threaded a length of Linen Thread through one of the holes in the circle. After untying the bow, I tied the Linen Thread to attach the greeting.

Then I cut three lengths of Linen Thread and added it to the Burlap Ribbon. After carefully tying these lengths into a bow, I teased out the linen threads.

Finally, I added some Cork Rounds to the top of the box.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card for you.

Until then, happy stamping.

THIS WEEK’S GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT CHALLENGE #GDP438

I am a few days earlier than usual sharing my project for the latest challenge.

This week’s challenge is a SKETCH CHALLENGE.

Make sure that click on the image below to be directed to the GDP page to check out all the amazing projects the DEsign Team have created; as well as the ‘entries’ from card makers around the world.

i decided to use the soon to be released Country Birdhouse Bundle from the Country Woods Suite Collection.

The Country Woods Designer Series Paper is amazing – this is where I started. The Misty Moonlight weathered wood design and the multicoloured timber design were my choices.

I made a Misty Moonlight card base and added a panel of the weathered timber DSP.

Following the Sketch Challenge layout, I cut a piece of Basic Beige and embossed it with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it directly onto the card front.

Then I set about creating my birdhouse.

I stamped the birdhouse image onto the multicoloured timber paper and die cut it. At the same time I added the two small round dies to cut out the circles in the birdhouse.

Then I cut the roof and bottom piece in Pool Party and the barge board in Petal Pink.

I stamped the birthday greeting on the Pool Party lower panel.

After adhering these three die cut pieces to the front of the birdhouse I attached pieces of Foam Adhesive Sheets to the back.

I cut a panel of Petal Pink timber from the DSP and added it to the bottom of the card front.

A scrap of the Misty Moonlight DSP was adhered to a scrap of matching cardstock and then cut using the bow die. I trimmed the long strip from above the bow and then secured it to the card front.

Finally, I stamped the bird three times – once on a scrap of Basic Beige card and on the card insert and envelope. The first bird was die cut and then coloured using Pecan Pie and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and was painted with Clear Wink of Stella.

Tomorrow I have a Magnolia Mood 3D Project for you.

Until then, happy stamping.

WELL, IT’S WEDNESDAY & I HAVE SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO SHARE

After colouring the large magnolia images over the last two projects, I decided to create a magnolia wreath.

I started by adding a 9″ x 9″ piece of Pecan Pie behind the white frame mat.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut 7 magnolias for this framed piece. I also did the same with the magnolia bud and leaves.

The large magnolias were then positioned on the Pecan Pie. Then I placed the buds and leaves. When I was happy with the shape of the wreath I secured the magnolias with dimensoinals. The buds and leaves were then glues into place.

I used a greeting from the Lifetime of Love Stamp Set and stamped it in Pecan Pie. It was then cut using one of the Nested Essentials Dies.

A length of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon was folded in half and attached to the back of the greeting.

I added dimensionals to the back of the greeting and positioned it, as you can see.

Finally, I added some Lemon Lolly gems from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
