CREATING MY OWN BROWNSTONE SHOPPING STORE

When I saw the Les Shoppes Collection Suite I imagined the Let’sGo Shopping Bundle would be great for a 3D project.

I thought that I could stamp the bottom floor image as well as several upper floors and adhere them together. Then I also realised that I could emboss the sides of my building using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.

Here is the result.

The gift box is made with Pecan Pie cardstock and measures 2-1/4″ x 4-5/8″. The front and back are slightly taller.

After the front and back panels were adhered I used the new hobby blade, from the Take Your pick Crafter Tips, to cut out the door. Then I used the window dies to cut out the building’s windows.

The front and back panels were then embossed to create the exposed brick texture.

Before attaching the Basic White pieces behind the front and back panels I stamped the cafe and bookstore images.

I coloured elements of the front doors and the books. For the cafe side of the gift box, I added the stamped sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.

The sides of the box had a die cut park bench and pot plant adhered them.

Both sides of the gift box were created by die cutting the same components and adhering them to achieve matching ‘floors’. These side panels were then embossed using the same 3D embossing folder.

The gift box base was made using Pecan Pie carsstock as well.

The lid, which fits inside the gift box, is slightly smaller than the box. I used the Take Your Pick tool to create a small opening for the Natural Wavy Trim loop to be inserted. After securing it with Tear & Tape to the inside of the lid, I inserted a 2″ square to ‘disguise’ the trim.

I plan to fill the box with lots of individually wrapped chocolates – perfect for the person who is a ‘sweet treat’.

I think my next couple of projects will be birthday cards that I have asked to make.

Until then, happy stamping.

HERE IS MY 3D THURSDAY PROJECT, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT

For this project I used this week’s ‘bundle’ as well as the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies. I wanted to make an open box with envelopes on each side.

MINI POCKET ENVELOPE DIES

These Mini Pocket Envelopes are too cute.

The box base measures 2-3/8″ along each side and is 3″ high.

I used two of the DSP designs to cut and assemble the envelopes. These were thenadhered to each of the box sides. The top flaps were folded down.

There are two dies in the set to make this very cute small bow.

Each of the four envelopes have a piece of Basic White cardstock, ready to write a short word of inspiration for the recipient.

I am always surprised by what I can make with stamps, ink and paper – and, maybe a few other things.

Tomorrow I will be sharing a Fun Fold card. Come back tomorrow and check it out.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY IS ALL ABOUT 3D PROJECTS

Today I am using some new packaging from Stampin’ Up!® for my project.

The Embossed Treat Bags are a great place to start for gift giving.

EMBOSSED TREAT BAGS

Then all you need to do is decide how to decorate it.

I’m featuring the Texture Chic Suite this week but haven’t used any of the Christmas/snowflake products yet. So, I have a Christmas gift bag for you.

I started by cutting the tags using two of the Tailor Made Tags Dies. The Evening Evergreen tag was embossed using one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders.

The second tag was cut from the snowflake DSP and the Basic White tag was stamped with the Christmas greeting from the Christmas Scottie Stamp Set.

I used two of the snowflake dies, from the Chic Dies set, to cut several flakes to add to the tags and the bag.

A length of Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon (retired) to attach the tags to the handle of the bag.

This was such an easy little gift bag to create.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday.

Until then, happy stamping.
