IT’S THURSDAY & TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

This week’s product spotlight is on the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection that is available from January 6th – unless you want to buy it sooner. To do this you need to join Stampin’ Up! and preorder this and lots of other great soon to be released new products.

For this project I used one of 12″x 12″ papers from the Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper to create a great gift bag. I cut 1 3/4″ from the bottom of the paper.

I scored the paper at 1/2″, 2 1/2″, 6 1/4″ and 8 1/4″ on the 12″ side. The bottom edge was scored at 2″ for the bag base.

I also added a partial score line 6″, from the top edge, down both of the 2″ panels. This helps the bag fold in at the top.

To close the bag I punched two holes using the 1/8″ circle from the Hole Punch Assortment. Then I threaded some Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon to be able to a bow.

For the greeting tags, I die cut three tickets – one each in Basic White, Bubble Bath and Secret Sea. The greeting was stamped on the Basic White ticket.

The tickets were overlapped and glued together. Then I punched a 1/8″ hole for the ribbon to be threaded through. The tickets were then secured in place using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I coloured some Antique Pearls using the dark Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend pen.

I think this would be a fantastic gift bag for a birthday gift.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

IT IS FRIDAY & TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD & GIFT BOX

My fun fold card measures 4″x 4″ and folds four triangular sides into a closure.

When you see the card unfolded you will see the two lengths of Two Tone card that I overlapped and adhered together.

Each of triangles fold in to ensure the card closes.

All of the internal panels had white card added for lots of lovely Christmas messages.

The card front, insert and envelope have been decorated with the pre-cut elements.

The next project was inspired by Heather Forgan from Stapin’ Nellie.

This fun fold box uses the Happy Banner Dies for the lid, helping to create an interlocking closure.

After creating the card base and attaching the lid, I created the greeting panel. The opening for the Basic Beige Classic Ribbon was made using one of the Hole Punch Assortment punches.

The ribbon was threaded through and the greeting panel was attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals to the left-hand side of the lid.

Thank you Heather for the inspiration!

Thanks for popping by this week to check out the projects I have shared with you.

Next week, I will have some wonderful new projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

3D THURSDAY IS MY FAVOURITE WAY TO SHARE MY GIFT BOX PROJECTS

Today I have a Christmas Explosion Box to share with you.

The box base measrues 4″x 4″x 4″ and the lid is 4 3/16″x 4 3/16″x 1 1/2″ and was made using Pecan Pie Two Tone card and A4 card.

I enjoy taking the time to carefully cut the DSP to ensure each of the 1 1/2″ sides match to the paper on top of the lid.

When the lid is removed the sides fall away to reveal an inner box holding Lindt chocolates wrapped in Christmas red foil.

Each of the outer sides have white panels, for Christmas messages, and are decorated with some of the pre-cut designs.

The inner box also had DSP panels added.

The box lid was topped off with a letter box, a Christmas greeting and some of the soon to be available Earthy Matte Dots.

Tomorrow I have a great fun fold card to sahre with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
