The project I am sharing today is actually the first project I made for this week’s posts.
When I first saw the All Zipped Up Dies, this is the first idea that came to mind.
I pictured the zipped front of a tent – so, I needed to make a tent!
This is the result.
I created the front of the tent first and then worked on the surrounding structure after that.
I used Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, Silver Foil and Old Olive card.
The tent measures 10 3/4″ long, 6 3/4″ wide and 5″ high. I decided that I could fill it with individually wrapped Toblerone chocolates – a perfect camping treat.
The front, back and sides of the tent were made up of a few card layers to ensure it had stability.
I used the grass die, from the Sending Love Dies, was perfect to use around the base of the tent.
I had thought about using some cut down toothpicks to use as anchors for Linen Thread tent lines – sadly, I couldn’t find my very well hidden toothpicks. Maybe next time.
To be honest, I was vey happy with my 3D construction.
Tomorrow is Friday and I have a Fun Fold card to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from May 5th.
