THURSDAY MEANS THAT’S IT TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

For this gift box I used two A4 pieces of Pecan Pie card stock.

The card used for the lid was stamped with the magnolia bud image in Pecan Pie.

All four sides were scored at 1 7/8″. After burnishing the score lines, with my bone folder, I cut the sides as shown below – just down to the scored line. I also cut away a small wedge on both sides of the flap.

I used Stampin’ Seal+ to adhere the four flaps, creating the gift box lid.

For the gift box base, I used the same process but increased the scoring measurement to 1 1/2″. This means that the lids is slightly larger than the base, allowing for an easy fit.

I used the large circle from the Everyday Details Dies to cut two pieces of Pecan Pie and one White Vellum, for the lid of the box.

For the first circle, I layered the card and vellum layers before I die cut two of the magnolia dies and layered them. Then I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals under the flowers, allowing for a place to run a length of burlap ribbon, from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo.

I wrapped the ribbon around the box and tied a bow.

For the second circle, I stamped the greeting from the Magnolia Mood Stamp Set and the magnolia bud image.

I threaded a length of Linen Thread through one of the holes in the circle. After untying the bow, I tied the Linen Thread to attach the greeting.

Then I cut three lengths of Linen Thread and added it to the Burlap Ribbon. After carefully tying these lengths into a bow, I teased out the linen threads.

Finally, I added some Cork Rounds to the top of the box.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card for you.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

I decided to make a gift box to hold three coffee satchets. This would be a great little gift for a work colleague.

This will probably be a quick post today.

The box measures 7″ x 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ and was made using Early Espresso cardstock.

After cutting, scoring and trimming the box, I cut four pieces of this great coffee bean design DSP into strips that were 6 7/8″ x 1 7/8″. Then these panels were adhered in place.

Using Stampin’ Seal+ to construct the gift box.

I glued three die cut coffee cups to the front of the box.

For the lid, I cut a large square Perennial Postage Die in Early Espresso and a smaller one in in the same coffee bean DSP. I layered and adhered them together.

I looped a length of Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon under a die cut coffee cup. Then I popped some dimensionals under the cup and added them to the postage shapes.

Then I glued these layers to the top of the box lid.

The Nescafe sachets fit perfectly inside the gift box.

The greeting was stamped using Lost Lagoon and cut using the smaller square Perennial Postage Dies.

I used dimensionals to pop it up on the front of the box.

Finally, I added some Lost LAgoon Tinsel Gems to the top and front of the box.

Tomorrow I will share my last project using the A Little Latte Suite Collection.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Yes, the title of this post says it all! Today, I have a 3D project to share with you.

What’s even better is that you don’t need to measure and score your own gift box. I am using a wonderful new packaging product that comes cut, scored and with adhesive ready for you to decorate and assemble.

And, that is exactly what I have done for today’s project.

Introducing the Square Pillow Boxes. They come in a pack of 10 – product number 162559 and $14AUD.

For my project, I started by stamping the large double rose image, using Pebble Path ink, all over the box.

Then I started colouring most of the stamped images using Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends.

After I had finished colouring, I added a small strip of Stampin’ Seal+ onto the back of the box. This is where I secured a length of Calypso Coral Braied Linen Trim. I brought the ends of the ribbon together, ties a bow and trimmed the ends.

The greeting was stamped, trimmed and secured to the top of the box with dimensionals.

The final touch was to add some small Calypso Coral Iridescent Pastel Gems to the box.

This would make a perfect gift box for some jewellery or other small treat.

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

Until then, happy stamping.
