TIME FOR A TOOTSIE ROLL & 3D THURSDAY

We have an amazing ‘little’ grocery store close to us that sells a fantastic variety of products. When I recently spotted a Tootsie Roll, I knew that I needed to buy it and create a gift box for it.

I continued to feature some of the colours and products from the Lovely in Linen Suite Collection.

If you have easy access to Tootsie Rolls, these are the measurements used to make this box.

I started with a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock measuring 9-1/2″x 4-1/2″.

Along the 4-1/2″ side, I scored the card at 1/2″, 1-1/2″, 2-1/2′ and 3-1/2″.

Along the 9-1/2″ length, I scored at 1’2″, 1-1/2″, 8″ and 9″.

Then I used my Bone Folder to burnisg these score lines crisply.

I have not yet created an instruction sheet for this project. For those of you with lots of gift box experience – I trimmed the 1-1/2″ ends of the goft box to create a box end and tuck in flap.

For each of the gift box sides, I cut pieces of Designer Series Paper to complete each of the four sides.

I used some Stampin’ Seal+ to attach a length of Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to the back of the box. Then I was able to wrap a length of the ribbon around the box.

After securing the ‘cheers’ sentiment panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals, I was able to tie the ribbon into a bow.

When creating a 3D gift box, you don’t always need a huge variety of products.

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

Until the, happy stamping.

A CUTE 3D PROJECT FOR A THANK YOU GIFT

Today I have a little gift box to share. I bought a small Geranium & Rosewood scented bath oil as a thank you gift.

The box measures 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″x 3″ (excluding the front and back flaps).

The banner die was threaded over the front and back flaps so that I could cut these single scallop ends. I repeated this with a piece of the Designer Series Paper.

The main colours used are Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet from the new 2022 2024 In Colours.

The branches were cut from a small piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and attached to the back flap.

The sentiment was stamped, cut and attached to the front flap. The Polished Dots were coloured with one of the Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends.

Finally, a #tammybow was added to the front of the gift box.

I always enjoy the time I spend making 3D projects. Now I have another small thank you gift in my cupboard ready to give.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday.

Until then, happy stamping.

A CUSTOM GIFT BOX FOR A FRECKLE MILK CHOCOLATE BUNNY

For today’s 3D Thursday project I made a custom gift box for a gorgeous freckle covered milk chocolate bunny. To be honest, the box it came in was very abergare.

The Easter Friends Stamp Set is the set I chose to use – it is another stand alone set.

The finished box measures 5-3/4″x 4-1/2″x 5/8″.

I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the box.

The front Basic White panel was stamped with the bunny and grass images. I used the Flirty Flamino and Basic Gray Water Colour Pencils to lightly shade areas of the bunny. A Blender Pen was used to lightly blend the colour.

The sentiment was stamped on the panel as well. A simple bow was tied from a length of Misty Moonlight Cotton Ribbon. This ribbon is from the New Horizons Suite.

Finally, I coloured some Rhinestone Basic Jewels with the Dark Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend.

Isn’t the chocolate freckle bunny so cute.

I will make another gift box durin my Facebook Live so that I will have a second Easter bunny gift box – one for each of my daughters.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
