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.

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES & GOLD BIRD CAGES ON DISPLAY TODAY

When I first saw the detailed bird cage die I knew that I wanted to create a card using foil sheets.

This card has 9 gold cages that have been evenly positioned on the Secret Sea panel.

TIP: Use Adhesive Sheets to make adhering detailed die cuts without all the mess of using a liquid glue.

Before attaching the Secret Sea panel to the Cloud Cover card base I added a length of Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon and tied a knot.

I stamped the greeting with Versamark and then heat embossed gold powder before cutting it with one of Nested Essentials Dies.

Some Brushed Bronze Butterflies were added to both the card front and insert.

Tomorrow I have a collection of 3 gift boxes to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
