TIME TO SHARE SOMETHING THIS SATURDAY

Today I want to share another project that I made this week.

It is a gift box that uses the Book Treat Boxes as a base.

Each pack contains 10 stampable boxes.
When folded each box measures 3″ x 4″ x 1″ (7.6 x 10.2 x 2.5 cm) and is food safe.

For the top of the box, I used several die cut elements, from the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper pack, to add layers of decoration.

The first element was one of the floral/leaf wreaths that had a greeting stamped inside the inner circle. The greeting was from tbe Unbounded Beauty Stamp Set and was stamped in Pretty Peacock.

I added small magnets to the tab and inside the box lid to help create a secure ‘lock’.

The tab was decorated with several layered elements.

I added some of the DSP and Petal Pink card to the sides of the inner box section.

To finish the gift box I created a “Tammy bow” – I coloured a very, long length of Iridescent Striped Trim with the Dark Petal Pink Blends pen and cut it in half lengthwise.

Once the bow was folded and tied off, I secured it using a Mini Glue Dot.

Finally, I added some of the Lost Lagoon gems from the Facted Gems Trio Pack. These added that little bit of bling needed to complete this project.

Monday will bring a new collection of products to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today’s 3D project was inspired by one of the die-cut frames that I found in the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.

The box measures 5 3/8″ (L) x 4 1/8″ (W) x 2″ (D).

The box has a Lost Lagoon base and a Petal Pink lid.

I took a panel of Lost Lagoon card and embossed it with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

A 24″ length of Petal Pink ribbon, from the Diagonal Trim Combo Pack, was secured to the base of the box and then tied in a bow at the upper, right-hand side of the box.

The embossed panel was then adhered to the box lid with Multipurpose Glue.

The frame had Stampin’ Dimensionals added so that it could sit up above the embossed panel.

the greeting, from the Softly Said Stamp Set, was stamped in Lost Lagoon and cut using the largest square, from the Stylish Shapes Dies set. After cutting the square the die was repositioned to cut the square down to a rectangle.

The final touch was to add some of the Lost Lagoon gems, from the Faceted Gems Trio Pack, to add a little bling.

tomorrow I have a new fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY IS THE DAY FOR SHARING A 3D PROJECT WITH YOU!

For my 3D project this week I spent time, and quite a bit of retired cardstock, to create a Pyramid Gift Box.

This is the template I created to make the box. It took a few attempts to achieve the design that I wanted.

Each side of the pyramid measures 6 1/2″ (16.5cm) and each side of the base measures 3 1/2″ (8cm).

The tabs are 1/2″ each, with one of the base tabs measuring 3/4″. This tab is wider to allow a pair of small magnets to be used to help secure the base. One magnet was secured to the flap using a mini glue dot. The second magnet was placed inside the pyramid, secured with a mini glue dot and covered with a small DSP circle.

The pyramid was made using a piece of Wild Wheat A4 cardstock.

I cut an additional single triangle and used it to cut panels of Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. These panels were cut to 1/16″ smaller on all three sides.

After adhering the DSP panels to the base, I assembled the pyramid.

I reused the template to cut a ‘nose cone’ and a base strip. These were then attached to the top and bottom of the gift box to reinforce these ends.

The greeting, form the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set, was stamped in Pebbled Path, on to a piece of Wild Wheat card. Then it was cut with one of the Stylish Shaoes Dies.

The Autumn Expressions Dies were used to cut the small collection of leaves that are tucked in behind the greetings panel. The base of the greeting panel was glued to the box and the top was secured with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I was able to cut the DSP so that the design would flow from one side to the next.

The Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon was tied into a bow and positioned toward the top of the box using a mini glue dot.

The final step was to add some Faux Glass Dots to the front panel.

Now the only thing left to do is to find something to pop inside the box as a gift to someone special.

Tomorrow I have a Fun Fold Card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
