THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today’s 3D project was inspired by one of the die-cut frames that I found in the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.

The box measures 5 3/8″ (L) x 4 1/8″ (W) x 2″ (D).

The box has a Lost Lagoon base and a Petal Pink lid.

I took a panel of Lost Lagoon card and embossed it with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

A 24″ length of Petal Pink ribbon, from the Diagonal Trim Combo Pack, was secured to the base of the box and then tied in a bow at the upper, right-hand side of the box.

The embossed panel was then adhered to the box lid with Multipurpose Glue.

The frame had Stampin’ Dimensionals added so that it could sit up above the embossed panel.

the greeting, from the Softly Said Stamp Set, was stamped in Lost Lagoon and cut using the largest square, from the Stylish Shapes Dies set. After cutting the square the die was repositioned to cut the square down to a rectangle.

The final touch was to add some of the Lost Lagoon gems, from the Faceted Gems Trio Pack, to add a little bling.

tomorrow I have a new fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today I have two cute 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ gift boxes to share with you.

After seeing the larger of the rounded square dies, when I first explored the Peaceful Season Dies, I knew that I wanted to use it to create a 3D project.

The Season of Elegance 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper matches the Gold Foil and gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper perfectly.

The first box uses the Gold Foil Specialty Paper and the Cherry Cobbler/Gold paper from the DSP.

I cut 5 of the large rounded squares and adhered four of them to the sides of the gift box.

For the lid, I threaded a length of the Cherry Cobbler/Gold Satin Ribbon through the fifth rounded square and tied a bow. This was then attached to the lid with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The smaller, rounded square was stamped with the seasonal greeting and heat embossed in gold.

The second box uses the gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper and the Basic Beige/Gold paper from the DSP.

I cut 5 of the large rounded squares and adhered four of them to the sides of the gift box.

For the lid, I threaded a length of the Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon through the fifth rounded square and tied a bow. This was then attached to the lid with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The smaller, rounded square was stamped with the seasonal greeting and heat embossed in gold.

The new WOW Embossing Powder is amazing!

I was so pleased with the way the ribbon was easily threaded through the die cut rounded squares.

These gift boxes are great for storing Lindt chocolates!

I have another Christmas card to share with you tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT’S IT TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

For this gift box I used two A4 pieces of Pecan Pie card stock.

The card used for the lid was stamped with the magnolia bud image in Pecan Pie.

All four sides were scored at 1 7/8″. After burnishing the score lines, with my bone folder, I cut the sides as shown below – just down to the scored line. I also cut away a small wedge on both sides of the flap.

I used Stampin’ Seal+ to adhere the four flaps, creating the gift box lid.

For the gift box base, I used the same process but increased the scoring measurement to 1 1/2″. This means that the lids is slightly larger than the base, allowing for an easy fit.

I used the large circle from the Everyday Details Dies to cut two pieces of Pecan Pie and one White Vellum, for the lid of the box.

For the first circle, I layered the card and vellum layers before I die cut two of the magnolia dies and layered them. Then I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals under the flowers, allowing for a place to run a length of burlap ribbon, from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo.

I wrapped the ribbon around the box and tied a bow.

For the second circle, I stamped the greeting from the Magnolia Mood Stamp Set and the magnolia bud image.

I threaded a length of Linen Thread through one of the holes in the circle. After untying the bow, I tied the Linen Thread to attach the greeting.

Then I cut three lengths of Linen Thread and added it to the Burlap Ribbon. After carefully tying these lengths into a bow, I teased out the linen threads.

Finally, I added some Cork Rounds to the top of the box.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card for you.

Until then, happy stamping.
