THURSDAY IS ALL ABOUT THE 3D PROJECT

For today’s 3D project I wanted to create a triangular gift box.

Each of the sides measures 3 3/4″x 3 3/4″. The base and lid triangles are 3 1/4″ with half inch flaps on each side.

A small note about two-tone card – when it is cut you can see the white core.

I cut three of the outline arched shaped from another of the DSP designs.

Using a paper piercing tool, I made two small holes to thread some white baker’s twine through so that I could secure the lid.

I cut a slightly smaller triangle for the lid and stamped the greeting and decoration.

The 2025-2027 In Colour Flat Pearls were popped on top of the small sunburst.

I’m not sure what I will pop inside the box yet but it will be tasty!

Tomorrow I have three more cards to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TIME FOR A 3D GIFT BOX WITH A WAVE INSPIRED

As I was stamping the wave image, for yesterday’s project, I had an idea start to develop in my mind.

I wanted to see if it would create an interesting pattern if rotated around a central point – so, I began experimenting.

And, this is the result.

I cut a piece of Basic Thick White card, measuring 5″x 5″, and then lightly marked the card into quarters.

The wave image was stamped around each horizontal/vertical quarter and then stamped between each of these images. The resulting pattern has 8 wave images rotating through the central point.

The Azure Afternoon gift box measures 5 1/2″x 5 1/2″x 3″. The lid is only 1″ deep.

Across all sides of the lid and box base I added panels of Azure Afternoon striped DSP.

The greeting is from the Iconic Imagery Stamp Set and was heat embossed in WOW Black Embossing Powder and cut using one of the Iconic Imagery Dies.

A few Mini Glue Dots and some strategically positioned Rainbow Dots were the perfect way to attach the greeting to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a slightly more tanned surfing Santa card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

HOW TO MAKE A 3D CHRISTMAS GIFTBOX

For this collapsible giftbox I started with 2 A4 sheets of Garden Green cardstock.

The finished box measures 4″(W) x 4″(D) x 3″(H).

The four 4″x 3″ panels are joined to create the sides of the giftbox. These are the perfect size for cards, of the same size, from the Reindeer Days Memories and More Card Pack.

Once the sides are joined and the cards adhered to them, the top and bottom square 1/2″ flaps were trimmed/wedged and folded folded into the box.

I added some elements from the Joyful Images and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Packs to the top of the box.

This giftbox can be folded flat for easy storage.

Tomorrow I will share a Mini Album I made using the same range of Christmas products.

Until then, happy stamping.
