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.

ONE MORE SUMMER HAPPINESS PROJECT

My final Summer Happiness project is a 3D box that holds a packet of Tic Tacs.

This is one of my measure twice and cut once projects.

I think that my high school maths teacher would be pleased to see how I developed this 2D to 3D skill.

This flip top box was designed to fit a packet of colourful Tic Tacs.

After the box was created I added panels of DSP.

I stamped the greeting in Secret Sea and the flip flops in Crushed Curry.

Then I added some Secret Sea Flat Pearls.

Next week I will feature another product suite.

Until then, happy stamping.

SUMMER FUN & HAPPINESS

This fun bundle went onto my wishlist the very moment I saw it. Let’s face it – I live in Queensland where sun, surf and summer adventures are mandatory.

And, then there’s the washi tape.

My first project uses the washi tape and the new White Gable Boxes.

The washi tape is the perfect width for these gable boxes, making this a super simple project.

I secured the washi tape around the box before adding a length to some white card. I used the dies to cut some of the elements and attach them to the box.

I stamped the Strawberry Slush greeting onto a piece of Basic White Thick card and then cut it using one of the Perennial Postage Dies.

I cut some additional elements, punch small holes and tie them to the handle.

The colours in the washi tape are bright and summery.

This first project is definitiely a favourite!

Tomorrow I will share a snappy little card with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
