I love creating 3D paper projects, whether they are gift boxes or bags or decor items, because they move beyond being a two dimensional card and can be used for so many occasions.
Another reason I love creating 3D projects is that it makes me use my brain … and my sometimes unreliable maths skills … followed by my problem solving skills.
Today, I have a triangular gift box to share. It will be perfect to hold lots of mini chocolate Easter eggs.
As I am featuring the Daffodil Daydream Bundle this week, these are the colours and products I have used for this gift box.
The gift box measures 3″x 2″x 2-1/4″. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to use Creately to prepare a template yet – stay tuned.
I used this concept, that I found on the internet, and experimented with a variety of measurements.
After several ‘drafts’; I measured, marked, cut and scored the gift box base using Basing White cardstock – 10-1/2″x 7-1/4″.
I used this Crushed Curry daffodil design piece of Daffodil Afternoon DSP to cut panels for the rectangular and triangular outer sides of the gift box.
For the front panel, I made two daffodils from a piece of Simply Marbleous 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The DSP was the Bumblebee piece and I added Crushed Curry ink using a Blending Brush. (thanks to Patty Bennett for this technique tip).
I attached the two daffodils to the front of the gift box and then stamped and die cut the Easter greeting. The greeting is from the Celebrating You Stamp Set and was cut with the smallest of the Scalloped Contours Dies. The butterflies were stamped and cut using the Daffodil Daydream Bundle.
After taking these photos I decided to add one small yellow Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the greeting panel. You can see this when I recreate this project during my Facebook Live.
I cannot wait to fill this gift bo with lots on mini Easter eggs. It will make a great gift for someone special.
Tomorrow is Fun Fold Firday and I have a few ideas floating around in my head. I hope you can pop back tomorrow to see what I have made.
Until then, happy stamping.
