IT’S THURSDAY & TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

The gift boxes I want to share with you have no connection to the On Display projects I have already shared this week.

Instead, I have used the Party Banners Dies and the soon to be released Whipsers of Texture Specialty Paper.

I used three different sie sizes to create the 3 different box sizes.

Counting the dies from the largest to smallest, I used 6, 9 and 11.

For each box I cut 4 banners and then scored them – from the narrow, straight edge the score measurememnts were:

smallest box is scored at 2 1/4″ and 3 5/8″;

medium box is scored at 2 7/8″ and 4 3/4″; and

large box is scored at 3 1/2″ and 5 3/4″.

After scoring the banners, I used a bone folder to achieve a crisp fold line.

I used Stampin’ Seal+ to securely adhere the base and sides of the box base.

The banner ends were then folded in to create the closure at the top.

I used a length of Shaded Spruce & Soft Sea Foam Bordered Ribbon to present the boxes as a set.

Tomorrow I have one final card to share with you. It is not a fun fold card but a little more intricate than usual.

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.

THURSDAY IS MY DAY FOR 3D PROJECTS

I recently saw a Facebook reel showing how to make an Origami gift box.

I used a 12″x 12″ piece of Designer Series Paper to create the gift box. It does use some Tear & Tape at each end.

The box holds 6 chocolates.

I used two lengths of the new Irregular weave Trim to hold the box closed and create a decorative finish.

The greeting was stamped in Pretty Peacock and cut using one of the Nested Essentials Dies.

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

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
