TIME FOR A 3D GIFT BOX WITH A WAVE INSPIRED

As I was stamping the wave image, for yesterday’s project, I had an idea start to develop in my mind.

I wanted to see if it would create an interesting pattern if rotated around a central point – so, I began experimenting.

And, this is the result.

I cut a piece of Basic Thick White card, measuring 5″x 5″, and then lightly marked the card into quarters.

The wave image was stamped around each horizontal/vertical quarter and then stamped between each of these images. The resulting pattern has 8 wave images rotating through the central point.

The Azure Afternoon gift box measures 5 1/2″x 5 1/2″x 3″. The lid is only 1″ deep.

Across all sides of the lid and box base I added panels of Azure Afternoon striped DSP.

The greeting is from the Iconic Imagery Stamp Set and was heat embossed in WOW Black Embossing Powder and cut using one of the Iconic Imagery Dies.

A few Mini Glue Dots and some strategically positioned Rainbow Dots were the perfect way to attach the greeting to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a slightly more tanned surfing Santa card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

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.

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.
