I was so delighted when I found a lavender soap and bath bomb recently. I knew it would be perfect for this week’s 3D project.
Taking measurements to create these simple lidded boxes is always so much fun. When I was a Home Economics teacher I loved using measurements to draft patterns for sewing. I think it’s the challenge of visualising something in 3 dimensions, creating a pattern in 2 dimensions and then seeing it come together and fitting the way you want it to.
I thought that I’d show you inside the boxes first.
I used Highland Heather A4 cardstock to create the two box bases and their lids.
After cutting and scoring the box bases and lids, I carefully cut two of the DSP designs so that all panels were matching on the lid.
The two boxes were stacked and I used a length of Natural Wavy Trim to hold them together. Then I tied them in place.
I stamped the greeting using the Stippled Rose Stamp Set and then cut them using larger of the two square postage dies from the Perennial Postage Dies. Another postage square was cut using Highland Heather cardstock.
I punched a small hole in the two postage squares and looped some Linen Thread through the hole. They were then tied onto the Wavy Trim.
To finish the boxes, I added some Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I am so happy with these gift boxes and cannot wait to find the right person to gift them to.
Tomorrow I have a Fun Fold card to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
