Welcome to the Candy Hearts Blog Hop for August! Today we are sharing 3D projects. After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Candy Hearts have created for you!

I chose to make a small gift box using the amazing Scalloped Contours Dies as the basis. I think it turned out wonderfully, it’s so dainty looking!

How I made it:

Cut & Score with your Paper Trimmer:

  • Soft Succulent – 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
  • Soft Succulent – 5 x 3 1/2
    • score this at 7/8 on all sides
  • Basic White – 2 1/2 x 3
  • Basic White – 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 (for stamping)
  • Pale Papaya and White Ribbon – 16 inches should be adequate

Stamp using Hand Penned Petals:

  • On the 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White:
    • Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the image that has two flowers. Color this image using Light and Dark Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends
    • Using Soft Succulent ink, stamp the stem cluster
    • Using Pale Papaya ink, stamp the flower cluster that coordinates with the stem cluster

Die Cut:

  • Using Scalloped Contours, die cut the largest scalloped rectangle from the 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of Soft Succulent; score this between the 5th and 6th scallop and again between the 7th and 8th scallop
  • Using the Penned Flowers dies, die cut the images you just stamped
  • Using Stitched So Sweetly, die cut the label from the 2 1/2 x 3 piece of Basic White

Dry Emboss:

  • Using the Macrame 3D embossing folder, emboss the white label that you just die cut

Assemble the Box:

  • On the 5 x 3 1/2 piece of Soft Succulent, cut in from the edge to the vertical score line on both short sides (red lines in diagram below, which is not to scale)
  • Burnish all score lines on your two pieces of Soft Succulent
  • Glue the tabs on the 5 x 3 1/2 piece of Soft Succulent to the adjacent sides, when folded on the scored lines – this will create a box bottom
  • Glue the box bottom to the right of the score lines on the Scalloped Contour die cut, leaving equal space on all sides
  • Wrap your ribbon across the top, down the side and around the bottom of the Scalloped Contour outer shell of the box, then feed the ribbon through the fish scallop on top and bottom – this will allow you to securely tie your box closed
  • Adhere the embossed Stitched So Sweetly label to the top of the box, over the ribbon, using Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere your flowers to the embossed label
  • Finally, add three of the frosted Elegant Faceted Gems to your box to give it some nice bling
  • Fill the box with whatever you wish – candy, lip balm, money (especially if you plan to gift it to me HAHA), then tie your ribbon to hold the box shut
