For my 3D project this week I spent time, and quite a bit of retired cardstock, to create a Pyramid Gift Box.
This is the template I created to make the box. It took a few attempts to achieve the design that I wanted.
Each side of the pyramid measures 6 1/2″ (16.5cm) and each side of the base measures 3 1/2″ (8cm).
The tabs are 1/2″ each, with one of the base tabs measuring 3/4″. This tab is wider to allow a pair of small magnets to be used to help secure the base. One magnet was secured to the flap using a mini glue dot. The second magnet was placed inside the pyramid, secured with a mini glue dot and covered with a small DSP circle.
The pyramid was made using a piece of Wild Wheat A4 cardstock.
I cut an additional single triangle and used it to cut panels of Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. These panels were cut to 1/16″ smaller on all three sides.
After adhering the DSP panels to the base, I assembled the pyramid.
I reused the template to cut a ‘nose cone’ and a base strip. These were then attached to the top and bottom of the gift box to reinforce these ends.
The greeting, form the Autumn Expressions Stamp Set, was stamped in Pebbled Path, on to a piece of Wild Wheat card. Then it was cut with one of the Stylish Shaoes Dies.
The Autumn Expressions Dies were used to cut the small collection of leaves that are tucked in behind the greetings panel. The base of the greeting panel was glued to the box and the top was secured with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I was able to cut the DSP so that the design would flow from one side to the next.
The Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon was tied into a bow and positioned toward the top of the box using a mini glue dot.
The final step was to add some Faux Glass Dots to the front panel.
Now the only thing left to do is to find something to pop inside the box as a gift to someone special.
Tomorrow I have a Fun Fold Card to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
