3D THURSDAY – TIME TO MAKE A GIFT BOX

I really enjoy making 3D projects, especially gift boxes.

Today’s gift box is designed to hold 6 notecards and envelopes. It is also a’flat fold’ gift box. Let me show you what I mean.

This gift box holds the 6 notecards and envelopes that I shared last Saturday and Sunday.

The box has been made using the same Designer Series Paper and coordinating cardstock. It is a ‘flat fold’ box because no adhesive has been used to create a permanent 3D box structure. Once the Evening Evergreen OPen Weave Ribbon bow is untied, the box opens out completely.

There is enough space to position the notecards and envelopes, as you can see. The ‘side flaps’ of the front panel tuck in behind the cards. You could adhere these into position to make a more premanent construction.

For this project, I only added DSP panels to the central panels of the box. As you can see, I have ensured that the continuity of the design wraps continuously through the box panels.

Before I adhered the front DSP piece, I secured a length of Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon so that it could be tied in a bow the hold the front flap down.

3D projects don’t always need ahuge number of products to createthe finished result.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I’m not sure what I will create yet. Thank goodness for 24 hours!

UNtil tomorrow, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY & IT’S TIME FOR A GIFTBOX

You have probably figured out that I am featuring one product suite or bundle each week, beginning on Saturday.

This week is all about the FREE Sale-a-bration Friendly Hello Bundle. This a product bundle you can choose with a minimum $180 AUD order.

FRIENDLY HELLO BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

I had a Basil, Lime and Mandarin scented cake of soap that needed a much nicer giftbox than the packaging it came in.

I cut piece of Pool Party cardstock to 7″x 5-1/2″ for the base and scored it at 1-1/2″ on all four sides.

The lid was cut to 6″x 4-1/2″ and scored at slightly less than 1″ on all sides. This ensured the lid was a touch larger than the base and would fit easily over the base. It also meant that part of the blue base would be seen and it would easier to lift the lid away.

The Designer Series Paper was cut from a piece measuring 5-5/8″x 4-1/8″. When I cut the DSP, as shown below, I was able to ensure the continuity of the paper’s design on the top and the four sides.

I adhered the DSP panels to the lid before assembling it.

To coordinate with the giftbox, I wrapped and secured a strip of the same DSP around the soap.

Then I took a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon and attached it to the bottom of the card base.

I stamped the birthday greeting onto a piece of cardstock and used the Lovely Labels Punch to decorate the end of the greeting tag. The Label Me Fancy Punch gave me the punched hole I needed to thread the ribbon ends through. The next step was to tie a bow.

The Garden Gems are a gorgeous way to finish the giftbox.

I really have fun when I make giftboxes and packaging. It’s the challenge of creating a 3D item from 2D paper – measuring, cutting and assembling.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday. Until then, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY – SHARING GIFT BAG, GIFT BOX & HOME DECOR PROJECTS

Welcome to my first 3D Thursday post of 2022. I plan to share a gift bag, gift box or home decor 3D project each Thursday during 2022.

If there is a project idea that you would like to know how to create, make sure you contact me so that I can include it in a future Thursday post.

Today I have a Valentine’s Day 3D sliding gift box to share. I am still using the Sweet Talk Suite and I am so pleased with the gift box I have for you.

The Sweet Talk Product Suite is perfect for any Valentine’s project.

This project started with two red foil wrapped chocolate hearts I found at a local store. I decided to create a gift box to present them in, as a special Valentine’s Day gift.

I created a double-fold gift box base and added a divided insert. I was able to secure each of the heart chocolates to the base using a Mini Glue Dot.

I die cut two hearts, from the Designer Series Paper, and attached them to each of the chocolate hearts. Then I wrapped a length of Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon around the gift base.

The outer wrapper, like a matchbox, slides off to reveal the chocolate hearts.

The top of the wrapper is decorated with a piece of the Sweet Talk 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. I stamped the sentiment onto a thin piece of Basic Whits cardstock.

The envelope was cut using a die from the Sweet Hearts Dies and then embossed using the splatters folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders. The heart was stamped and die cut before popping it inside the folded envelope. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the envelope to give it height.

I love the texture that the Splatters 3D Embossing Folder gives the cardstock.

The Real Red cardstock, Faux Linen Ribon and Rhinestone Basic Jewels are perfect for any Valentine’s gift.

The reason I include “Live in Australia? Shop with me.” on each image is to make sure that paper crafters, who live in Australia, know that they can order Stampin’ Up!© products through my online store. This is my little business and I hope that it will grow with the support of people who enjoy the projects I share here, on Facebook and Pinterest.

If I can help you place an order, please contact me.

Until tomorrow’s Fun Fold Friday, happy stamping.
