3-D Projects – Love To Scrap 2

‘Read More’ note cards in a box

Hey everybody! Happy Monday! Sure seems like this weekend went by in a big POOF! I’ve popped in this morning to share a Syncopation Design inspiration project created with papers and elements in the new Let’s Get Lit bundle! Just in case you aren’t familiar with the terminology, it has to do with literacy – not getting intoxicated, lol! I know several people who are bookworms and thought this kit was perfect to create a set of 3-1/2″ x 5″ note cards in a box! Such a fun project!

I printed the solid and patterned papers from the collection on HP 32# copy paper and the elements on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock. I created the card box and ten 3-1/2″ x 5″ card bases from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. The card box sports patterned paper panels and fussy-cut elements, as well as an Eyelet Outlet silver washi tape strip and Darice gemstones from my stash, and has a velcro closure. The simple card design is basically the same for all ten cards, featuring solid and patterned paper panels and fussy-cut captions/sentiments (popped up on foam strips) along with a silver washi tape strip and gemstone.

Holly Jolly Gift Box

Hi everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m happy to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #50 – Anything Christmas Goes! You know how I love making little gift bags and boxes, and always forget that I have this set of dies from Stampin’ Up that I’ve had for years. I ran across them while looking for something else (that’s always the way it happens!) and I believe this is only the second or possibly third time I’ve used them. The box is the perfect size for jewelry or treats.

I used the Stampin’ Up Baker’s Box Thinlits to die cut the bag pieces from a holly print in the Echo Park A Perfect Christmas double-sided paper pack. These are great papers to use because they are heavier than regular double-sided paper but not quite as heavy as cardstock. I stamped an oval die cut for the tag (using the Keep It Simple Santa & Friends stamp set) and embellished it with some Eyelet Outlet red bling. The final step was threading some Michael’s green and white dotted ribbon through the holes and tying a bow. Easy peasy!

And here’s a shot of the back. This was a super easy project that would be great to mass produce for placing around the holiday table or gifting treats to co-workers! Can also be used for birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc. by using different papers! ;)

Spring Memory Album

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a good Wednesday! I’m delighted to be back with another post today to share a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project which I’ve shared on social media but was unable to blog until our internet was restored. This Spring-themed memory album was created with items in the March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades, and I had THE best time making it! You know how I love me some mini albums! And yes, spring makes me HAPPY! ;) The coordinating papers and stickers in the March kit are pretty amazing!

I cut the album base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and covered the front and back with a pretty floral paper from the kit. I then cut each page from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished them with coordinating papers. I used stickers from the sticker sheet and die cut ovals (using Cottage Cutz Double-Stitched Oval dies) from CutCardStock Flamingo and Mantis Green cardstock.

I created pull-outs and pull-ups on several of the pages, leaving plenty of room for photos and journaling. I embellished the front with a sentiment from the sticker sheet, added a Velcro circle for the closure and embellished the closure strap with an enamel dot from the upgrades. The final touch was adding a tassel and charm (created with dies from the set) attached with a tiny ball chain and clasp from my stash.

‘To someone sew nice’ Matchbook

5/7/23 Art Impressions Fan Feature!

Hey everybody! A very Happy Saturday to you all! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m stoked to share that I’m once again guest designing for the lovely Rachelle over at Scrapping4fun Challenges! One of my projects scored a Shout Out Creation honor a few weeks back, so here I am with a GD project for Challenge #222 – Ladies/Girls + Add Layers! I’m so in love with the Art Impressions Matchbook line (and several other Ai lines to be truthful!) and really enjoyed creating this sewing-themed Matchbook! It fits the theme perfectly!

Using the Art Impressions Matchbook Template Die, I cut the base from a double-sided piece of patterned paper from Polly’s Paper Studio. I stamped all the layers from the Art Impressions Sewing Room Stamps on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating dies.

Then came the fun of assembling this adorable little Matchbook. Next I created the tiny little envelope using the Art Impressions Matchbook Envelope Dies and another double-sided patterned paper from Polly’s Paper Studio. ;)

Here are a couple more angled shots. So stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

Vintage Treasure Box

3/10/23 Top Pick at The Outlawz Paper a la mode Challenge!
3/15/23 Site-wide Winner at The Outlawz Challenges!
3/31/23 Best Technique Winner at Classic Design Challenge Blog!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re enjoying some decent weather on this fine first day of March! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #64 – Anything Goes + optional Distressing! If you choose to play the optional twist, the distressing can be done with ink or tool. It has been ages since I’ve done any distressing with a tool, so I dug out my Tim Holtz Paper Distresser to use on the focal element and panels on my vintage treasure box. Tool distressing does warp the edges of cardstock and I think that’s why I don’t do it very often, but all in all I’m happy with how this project turned out!

I created the box from CutCardStock Re-Entry Red cardstock. I cut the panels for all four sides and the top from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and My Mind’s Eye Tangerine 6×6 designer paper pad. I distressed the edges of all ten pieces and adhered them together and then to the box. Using the Stampin’ Up From My Heart stamp set, I stamped the focal image and cut it with a Spellbinders Standard Circles die. I die cut one additional circle from the Re-Entry Red cardstock, distressed the edges of both circles, and adhered them together and then to the top of the box.

Here’s a shot of the box opening up to reveal the three hidden trays inside. This would definitely be a fun way to gift multiple items to a friend – jewelry, trinkets, candies/chocolates or whatever! If you’re interested, this box is similar to a taller treasure box with hidden trays inside that I made several years ago HERE.

Pizza-Themed Envelope Mini Album

Hey everybody! Well, another Hump Day is upon us and we’re getting more snow here in southwestern Colorado! We’ve had a couple feet of the sparkly stuff on the ground for weeks now and it’s so pretty! We’re hoping all this moisture will keep the fires away this summer. I’ve popped in this morning to share my debut inspiration project for Syncopation Design using the new Pizza Forever Bundle! Pizza is one of my all-time favorite foods (and has been for a lot of years) so this was right up my alley! I created an envelope mini album featuring papers and elements from the collection and love how it turned out!

I created the mini album base from six American Crafts A2 size dark kraft envelopes which I embellished with patterned papers printed on 32# HP copy paper and elements printed on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock. There is a tri-fold element, a pull-up , a pull-out, and side and top pockets, with lots of room for journaling and photos. I added Eyelet Outlet green and brown pearls along with some Canvas Corp jute rope cord.

Chandler Purse with Latch Card Notelets

2/3/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week so far! I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that January is almost over! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the amazing 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m in love with all the Winter-themed patterned papers and coordinating stickers in this month’s kit. You know how I love me some paper purses so I made a Chandler that contains a set of six latch card thank you notelets using a variety of patterned papers and stickers!

I cut the Chandler purse base, handle and strap closure from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock and layering panels from a snowflake pattern in this month’s kit. I adhered a large snowflake from the sticker sheet to a scrap piece of navy cardstock, fussy cut around it leaving a thin border, and then attached it to the end of the strap closure. I then adhered a small disc magnet with Ranger Distress Collage Medium to keep the purse closed.

I created a set of six latch cards from Solar White cardstock, Basis Navy cardstock and a variety of patterned papers in the kit. For each card, I stamped the ‘thanks’ sentiment from the Keep It Simple Thank You Sentiments stamp set in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink on Solar White cardstock and cut it with a Spellbinders Classic Ovals Small die. Using the Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Ovals Large and Small dies, I cut two slightly larger scallops from Basis Navy and Solar White cardstock and adhered them together. This element created the ‘latch’ on each card.

I stamped the same sentiment (also from the Keep It Simple Thank You Sentiments stamp set) in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink on the inside of each card and embellished each one with a coordinating sticker from the sticker sheet.

Festive Clamshell Gift Box

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a fabulous week! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today, created with the amazing December 2022 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I absolutely love the variety of papers and coordinating stickers along with the awesome upgrades in this month’s collection. I’ve mentioned many times before that I love making and giving practical gifts, so I created a sturdy clamshell type Christmas gift box that can be used for years to come. I’ve had handwritten instructions for this in my arsenal for quite some time but had never gotten around to making one until a similar box was featured in a recent Splitcoast Stampers newsletter! Sometimes all I need is a reminder to inspire me! ;)

I constructed the shell and box from CutCardStock Kraft Chipboard and used two coordinating papers from the collection to cover the panels along with some sheer red ribbon from my stash for the closure.

I die cut a rectangular element for the top of the box from Solar White cardstock using a Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Postage Edge Die and layered it on CutCardStock Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock. I added the chipboard Santa and a sentiment rub-on from the upgrades along with some Eyelet Outlet bumpy red bling which completed the box top.

Here are shots of the actual gift box, with the shell opened up. I used CutCardStock Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock to cover the hinge and inside of the box.

I Love Christmas Sticky Note Holder

Hey everybody! Happy Monday! It’s so hard to believe that this is the last week before Christmas! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today, created with the amazing December 2022 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! You know how I love creating 3-D projects, and when they make practical gifts, that’s a definite win-win! This type of sticky pad holder has been around for a while but was recently featured in a Splitcoast Stamper newsletter HERE and inspired me to make one! It’s a fast project that could easily be mass-produced to make stocking stuffers or co-worker gifts!

I cut the easel base and panel from CutCardStock Kraft chipboard. Then the fun began assembling and decorating. ;) I used a pretty Christmas floral patterned paper from the kit and layered it on a panel of CutCardStock Scottish Highlands Green cardstock. I embellished the panel with floral, cardinal and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet along with some Eyelet Outlet bumpy red bling. You can’t tell in the photo, but I popped the cardinal up on mini dimensionals for a little interest.

Like most easel-type projects, this sticky pad holder folds flat for gifting/mailing!

Glittered Ornament

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a good week so far! It’s turning out to be a busy morning here. I’ve popped in again to share a Kat Scrappiness Creative Influencer inspiration project featuring the Snowflake Ornament Shaker Card Kit which I used to create a stand-alone ornament. I love making ornaments even though we haven’t put up a Christmas tree for a number of years because of our feline rescues. We recently talked about putting up a tree (anchored to the ceiling and/or wall, lol) with cat toys as ornaments! How fun would that be?! We’ve been so busy with the cabin that we decided to start this tradition next year. Can’t believe we didn’t think of this sooner! Okay, okay, back to my project… ;)

I started by coloring the face of the ornament with alcohol markers, coated it with Art Glitter Dries Clear glue, and applied Stampin’ Up Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. I die cut a circle from CutCardStock Medium Blue cardstock with a Spellbinders Standard Circles Small die to use as the back of the ornament. Next, I adhered the shaker base and added Kat Scrappiness Mirrored Clear Confetti Dot Sequin Mix, 3mm Sparkling Clear Droplets and 4mm Sparkling Clear Droplets as the shaker mix.

I adhered the acetate and then the face. I adhered quite a few more 3mm Sparkling Clear Droplets to embellish the snowflake, and added a Really Reasonable Ribbon silver metallic string hanger and blue checkerboard ribbon bow, which completed the ornament.
