HOW TO MAKE A 3D CHRISTMAS GIFTBOX

For this collapsible giftbox I started with 2 A4 sheets of Garden Green cardstock.

The finished box measures 4″(W) x 4″(D) x 3″(H).

The four 4″x 3″ panels are joined to create the sides of the giftbox. These are the perfect size for cards, of the same size, from the Reindeer Days Memories and More Card Pack.

Once the sides are joined and the cards adhered to them, the top and bottom square 1/2″ flaps were trimmed/wedged and folded folded into the box.

I added some elements from the Joyful Images and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Packs to the top of the box.

This giftbox can be folded flat for easy storage.

Tomorrow I will share a Mini Album I made using the same range of Christmas products.

Until then, happy stamping.

SOME MORE CHRISTMAS CARDS THIS SATURDAY

The first card I have to share with you today is a super, simple one usingt he same Joyful Images and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Packs and DSP as yesterday.

For this card I used the Basic White Notecards & Envelopes.

All I needed was a piece of the DEsigner Series Paper and then the sleigh and greeting from the Ephemera Packs.

The second card is a step up from the first one.

I created a tucked away pop up corner fold that is revealed when you open the card.

To create the corner fold I scored the Real Red cardbase 3″ along the centre fold and the same distance along the lefthand side.

I added a panel of Real Red card to the card front. and a DSP panel.

From the Joyful Images Pack, I chose this /christmas tree and sleigh to add to the card.

THe greeting, from Joyful Sayings, was also added.

The three pearl jewels were coloured using the dark Real Red Blends pen.

I I chose some of the gift box images to decorate the corner fold.

The card insert was cut and I added a strip of DSP to finish it off.

For the last card, I used the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder to give the card front some texture.

The embossed Real Red panel was adhered to a Garden Green cardbase beofre adding more elements from the Joyful Images and Joyful Sayings Packs.

The greeting was added to both the front of the card and the card insert.

I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the bow for a little glimmer.

Using the dark Real Red Blends pen, I coloured three of the Iridescent Pearlsto finish the card.

Making these cards was made so easy with the ephemera packs.

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

Until then, happy stamping.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY

Most of this week has been spent relocating my retired products to other craftrooms. I am so grateful to all the creative people who chose these items for their crafting adventures. I am beginning to make space ready for new goodies when the next Annual Catalogue is released.

This week I have also created several projects using Joyful Images and Joyful Sayings from the Mix & Match Ephemera products from the September – December 2024 Mini Catalogue. I also used the A Little Bit Festive 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The fun fold card I made is a Double Corner Fold card.

I started with a Night of Navy cardbase and used the scoring blade on my paper trimmer to make the creases I needed for this design.

The first scorelines were made diagonally through the centre of the card and finished 1 1/4″ from the bottom edge of the cardbase.

The second set of scorelines were 1/2″ closer to the sides of the card.

After folding and burnishing the scorelines I was able to create the folded corners.

The next thing was to cut the Designer Series Paper to cover the front, back and inside the card.

I added some elements from the two Ephemera Packs to decorate the card.

Finally, I added a number of small Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.

I will have more projects to share with you over the weekend.

Until then, happy stamping.
