When I saw the Les Shoppes Collection Suite I imagined the Let’sGo Shopping Bundle would be great for a 3D project.
I thought that I could stamp the bottom floor image as well as several upper floors and adhere them together. Then I also realised that I could emboss the sides of my building using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
Here is the result.
The gift box is made with Pecan Pie cardstock and measures 2-1/4″ x 4-5/8″. The front and back are slightly taller.
After the front and back panels were adhered I used the new hobby blade, from the Take Your pick Crafter Tips, to cut out the door. Then I used the window dies to cut out the building’s windows.
The front and back panels were then embossed to create the exposed brick texture.
Before attaching the Basic White pieces behind the front and back panels I stamped the cafe and bookstore images.
I coloured elements of the front doors and the books. For the cafe side of the gift box, I added the stamped sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.
The sides of the box had a die cut park bench and pot plant adhered them.
Both sides of the gift box were created by die cutting the same components and adhering them to achieve matching ‘floors’. These side panels were then embossed using the same 3D embossing folder.
The gift box base was made using Pecan Pie carsstock as well.
The lid, which fits inside the gift box, is slightly smaller than the box. I used the Take Your Pick tool to create a small opening for the Natural Wavy Trim loop to be inserted. After securing it with Tear & Tape to the inside of the lid, I inserted a 2″ square to ‘disguise’ the trim.
I plan to fill the box with lots of individually wrapped chocolates – perfect for the person who is a ‘sweet treat’.
I think my next couple of projects will be birthday cards that I have asked to make.
Until then, happy stamping.
