I may have mentioned once or twice (or maybe more often) how much I enjoy creating 3D projects.
Some are insired by others and some I create myself. I came across this gift bag on the internet and created my own template to make it.
I will be making it during my Facebook Live today – at the same time this post goes live. There will be a Video Tutorial on my Youtube Channel soon.
The New Horizons Suite Collection is used for this project.
The bag is 5″ across the base and 3-3/4″ at the opening. I used the Layering Circles Dies to help create the shape for the bag base.
I used two of this design from the New Horizons 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper for the front and back panels of the bag.
Then I used two of the circle dies to cut the Evening Evergreen handles.
I cut lengths of the Evening Evergreen and Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon to pass through the bag handle and tie a double bow.
When I have uploaded a video to Youtube, I will come back and add a link here.
Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I have a Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold Card for you.
Until then, happy stamping.

Each Wednesday, I will share what I have made for blog hops and challenges. This is my second project for today and it is for the Freshly Brewed Projects blog hop and this week’s theme is NOTECARDS PROJECTS.
I could have made a gift set or just one or maybe even 2 cards to show how you can make super quick and easy projects with them. I could have teamed them up any of the current Memories & More packs. However, I decided to create a 3D project to share with you.
This week, I am featuring the Hey Sports Fan Suite Collection and decided to make something to keep sporting event memorabilia, especially ticket stubs, in.
I created a mini expanding file using five notecards.
Each notecard has two 3″x 2″ panels attached at each end. These pieces were scored at 1/2″, 1″ and 1-1/2″.
When these inserts were secure, I glued the notecards together. This gave me a five pocket, mini expanding file.
I used one more notecard to create the front flap and back panel. Before adhering it in place, I secured a length of Misty Moonlight ribbon from the Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack.
The Detailed Trio Punch was used to round the corners of the front flap.
I cut a 6″x 5″ piece of Night of Navy wood grain piece of DSP to adhere to the outside of the mini file.
I die cut some of the tickets from one of the DSP sheets and added them to the front of the file.
For inside the file, I cut five large ticket shapes using Basic White cardstock. I also cut the joined tickets in Bumblebee, Night of Navy and Poppy Parade several times. For the file inserts, I tore two of the tickets so that I could fold this segment in half and staple it to the top of the Basic White ticket. These five tickets can be used for journaling.
I used a Bumblebee and Poppy Parade ticket strip, on the front flap of the expanding file, to give the file a name – ‘Memory Holder’. The title was created by adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of the two featured colours and cutting the letters using the Playful Alphabet Dies.
I finished the project by adding some of the Resin Stars Embellishments.
This is a project that I am SOOOOO happy with. Everything turned out the way I hoped it would. What do you think? I would love your feedback. I am already thinking of some other ways to use notecards this way.
Make sure that you hop along and see what the rest of the team have created.
Tomorrow is 3D Thursday – time to start thinking about what to create.
Until then, happy stamping.

I love creating 3D paper projects, whether they are gift boxes or bags or decor items, because they move beyond being a two dimensional card and can be used for so many occasions.
Another reason I love creating 3D projects is that it makes me use my brain … and my sometimes unreliable maths skills … followed by my problem solving skills.
Today, I have a triangular gift box to share. It will be perfect to hold lots of mini chocolate Easter eggs.
As I am featuring the Daffodil Daydream Bundle this week, these are the colours and products I have used for this gift box.
The gift box measures 3″x 2″x 2-1/4″. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to use Creately to prepare a template yet – stay tuned.
I used this concept, that I found on the internet, and experimented with a variety of measurements.
After several ‘drafts’; I measured, marked, cut and scored the gift box base using Basing White cardstock – 10-1/2″x 7-1/4″.
I used this Crushed Curry daffodil design piece of Daffodil Afternoon DSP to cut panels for the rectangular and triangular outer sides of the gift box.
For the front panel, I made two daffodils from a piece of Simply Marbleous 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The DSP was the Bumblebee piece and I added Crushed Curry ink using a Blending Brush. (thanks to Patty Bennett for this technique tip).
I attached the two daffodils to the front of the gift box and then stamped and die cut the Easter greeting. The greeting is from the Celebrating You Stamp Set and was cut with the smallest of the Scalloped Contours Dies. The butterflies were stamped and cut using the Daffodil Daydream Bundle.
After taking these photos I decided to add one small yellow Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the greeting panel. You can see this when I recreate this project during my Facebook Live.
I cannot wait to fill this gift bo with lots on mini Easter eggs. It will make a great gift for someone special.
Tomorrow is Fun Fold Firday and I have a few ideas floating around in my head. I hope you can pop back tomorrow to see what I have made.
Until then, happy stamping.
