TODAY IS 3D THURSDAY

This week I always knew that I wanted to create a super large gift box to hold 20+ cards and envelopes.

The finished box measures 6 7/8″x 4 3/4″ and is 5″ deep.

After designing the pattern for this box and then cutting and assembling it, I then added card panels inside each area of the box to give it greater sturdiness and stability.

Once I had finsihed the gift box structure I then added Misty Moonlight card panels on the exterior areas of the gift box. This added colour and stability.

I wrapped a very long length of the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon around the box, securing it to the front of the box.

The Misty Moonlight panel, on the top of the box, was then secured over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This top panel then had many of the ephemera elements attached to it.

‘Thanks’ was the chosen greeting because I think this box of cards would make an amzing gift to thank someone for what they have done.

When this large gift box is opened, there are two sections holding cards that have covering panels to hold everything in place.

When the covering panels are removed, the cards are revealed.

Tomorrow I will show you the final cards that were made.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY IS HERE AGAIN

Today I have another fun fold card for you. It is an easy M Fold Card.

The card base measures 12″x 5 3/4″ and is scored at 4″, 6″ and 8″.

I wanted to make a masculine card and chose this beautiful coastal scene from the Beautiful Gallery DSP pack.

The Pecan Pie and Misty Moonlight colours work so well together.

I wrapped Linen Thread around the DSP and Misty Moonlight several times and tied it off. Then I tied a triple bow and attached it with a Mini Glue Dot.

The greeting was stamped and trimmed so that would fit inside the bookplate. I added dimensionals to the back of the bookplate so that it could sit up over the threads.

The Designer Series Paper was also added to the card inserts.

Tomorrow I have an extra project to share.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

Today I used the frame die from the Gallery Blooms Dies set to to create the border for the ‘charcoal’ trees image.

After cutting the Basic Black and Basic Gray frames I positioned them carefully inside the Damask Designs Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

The gray frame was adhered to the card front. Then I attached the DSP to the back of the black frame and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to it. This panel was then positioned within the gray frame.

The greeting, from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set, was stamped using Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad onto the same coloured card. I used one of the Unbounded Love Dies to cut this greeting.

The spare large black frame was placed on the card insert.

I stamped the damask image, in gray, across the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some Basic Gray Pearls to the card front.

I would normally have a 3D project to share with you tomorrow but I’ve decided to share an extra Fun Fold Card this week.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking,
