A RETURN TO MY 3D THURSDAY PROJECT SHARE

I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoy creating 3D projects – some are quite basic and others can be more complex. Either way, I see them as a great way to keep my 60+ year old brain active.

Today I have a simple tissue box to show you.

After taking the measurements of the tissue packet, I planned out my template and then thought about how to create the tissue opening – and, I found the perfect dies to do this!

As you can see, I have used some Granny Apple Green card for the box. After cutting and scoring the card, following my template and measurements, I used one of the Ouch Dies to cut the tissue opening.

Aftering carefully cutting the Valley in Bloom Designer Series Paper I attached it to each of the longer panels. I always try to have the design of the paper pieces match as they wrap around a box.

To reinforce the tissue opening I used both of the Ouch Dies (in the first image) to create a Granny Apple Green card border.

I left the top of the box unglued so that I could replace the tissues as needed. To secure the flaps, I wrapped some white baker’s twine around the box and ties a bow.

Finally, I stamped a sentiment and attached it to secure the twine.

I am so happy with the way this tissue box turned out.

Tomorrow I have a Fun Fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

A WONDERFUL EASY WEDNESDAY

Today I have a super simple card to share with you. The gorgeous Valley in Bloom Drsigner Series Paper does all the work with this card.

I started with a Blackberry BLiss card base and added a panel of the DSP.

Then I added a die cut lattice element and floral stem.

I wrapped a length of Berry Burst Shiny Ribbon around the DSP.

Finally, I stamped the birthday greeting and added it to the front of the card.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

IT’S TIME FOR A TECHNIQUE TUESDAY PROJECT

Today I want to share a project that focuses on the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I have used it for dry embossing and die cutting. For this card I used both the machines – standard and mini.

The card I made was created for a Global Design Project challenge.

This card has several layers – a Basic White card base, panels of Timid Tiger and Peaceful Pine card, an embossed Basic White panel, die cut Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine lattice elements, die cut and coloured floral stems and a layered birthday greeting.

The Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder was used to add texture to the Basic White layer.

The flowers were coloured using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush and popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Tomorrow I have a super simple card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.
