by nataliegramleystamps | Oct 16, 2024 | 3D projects

This Double Box Fun Fold card is super easy once you have the dimensions and what a fun standing 3D card for your favorite person!

Measurements:
BASE Piece #1: Pecan Pie: 9 3/8″ x 4 1/4″
   scored at 3/8″, 1 3/8″, 2 7/8″ and 3 7/8″
BASE Piece #2: Pecan Pie: 3 1/2″ x 5 1/8″
   scored at 3/8″ and 1 3/8″
   scraps for Humble Home punch
Basic Beige CS: 3 3/4″ x 4″
   3 1/4″ x 3 3/4″
Real Red CS: 1 1/4″ x 4″ and (2) 5/8″ x 4″
   scrap for die cut
   1/4″ strip for Humble Home punch for heart

Stamp the Home image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Pecan Pie scrap and punch out home and save the heart as well.

Die cut a medium circle from the Stylish Shapes die set in Real Red CS and stamp the “from our house to yours” in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Run the Basic Beige smaller piece through the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder.
Run the three Real Real pieces through the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder.

Fold the score lines in as mountain folds and add Tear and Tape to the first and smallest scored panel.

Peel off the release paper from BASE #1 and fold the second score line from the end and attach the Tear and Tape piece to the card base.
If you attach while the paper is folded flat this will put the scored tab with the Tear and Tape in the correct place to allow the card to open and close within the parameters of the envelope size.

Attach the Forever Plaid 3D embossed Real Red pieces to the box panels the two pieces of the same size attach to the side of the box and the larger piece goes on the top panel of the box.

Adhere the Basic Beige embossed piece to the BASE #2 piece.

Place some adhesive on the end opposite the Tear and Tape end to attach to the BASE #1 box.
I placed the piece upside down on Box #1 so that I made sure to only adhere where the end of the piece would meet on Box #1’s surface (you do not want to adhere past the box edge)

Flip over Box #2 and adhere the left hand edge to Box #1.

Peel the release paper from the Tear and Tape, fold over the first two panels and then collapse box #1 and with the first to panels from Box #2 folded to the back – press firmly to secure the Tear and Tape to the card base.
(I decided to add a layer to the card base after doing this step OOPS!! so if you would like a layer under Box #2 do this before adhering the end of Box #2.

I adhered the small Real Red sentiment circle die to the surface of Box #2.

I adhered a Pecan Pie small heart to the Real Red circle die.

Adhere the Humble Home punch house to the card front and I added three Real Red hearts coming out of the chimney.

I decided to add another layer to the card base so I detached BASE #2 and adhered the Basic Beige layer to the card base then reattached BOX #2.

This is a view of the card standing up!

I added three Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs to the card front to finish the card off with a little bling!

3D memo holder

by nataliegramleystamps | Sep 29, 2023 | 3D projects, Designer Series Paper, stamps ink paper, techniques

I don’t usually do 3D projects – but this one is fairly simple and useful.

Measurements:
Pretty Peacock CS 10 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
7″ x 4 3/4″
2 1/4″ x 1 1/2″
DSP: 3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″
3 1/2″ x 3″

Cut the first piece of cardstock
10 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
score at 4″, 8″, 9″, 10″ score with bone folder

Cut 7″ x 4 3/4″ in Pretty Peacock, score at 4″ and 4 1/2″, turn 90 degrees and score 1/2″ from each long end.
Score on longer side at 1 1/2″ from the top of the long side to the 1/2″ score line.
Score on the longer side at 1 1/2″ from the bottom of the long side to the 1/2″ score line.
Cut at the 4″ line from the top and the bottom to the 1/2″ score line. Cut at the 4 1/2″ line from the top and the bottom to the 1/2″ score line. Cut away a small triangle from either side to make a tab as shown on the pattern in the photo.

Take the longer piece of Pretty Peacock – score at each of the score lines. Place a line of Tear & Tape on the 1/2″ end piece.

Fold over the 4″ score and adhere the 1/2 inch fold to the end of the 4″ side of the fold. The finished product will look like the photo below.

Place the Tear & Tape on the two long side tabs and the two small tabs on the backside of the memo holder.

Adhere the 3 /12″ x 3″ on the larger inside panel.

Fold the smaller panel upward and adhere the 3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ to the outside panel.

Remove the Tear & Tape release paper and adhere the sides of the memo box.

The completed box will look like this.

Score a 2 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ piece of cardstock at 1/2″ and 1″. Place a piece of Tear & Tape on each 1/2″ scored edge. Remove the release paper and pinch the two edges together. Place the folded paper inside the box along one side making a smaller box inside the larger box.

Place the Tear & Tape around the front of the easel. Release the paper and stick the memo holder onto the easel.

Place the memos in the box and the pen in the smaller box.

The smaller front piece is the perfect place for a small calendar or my business card.

This is a wonderful 3D project, useful and easy!

I hope you try this 3D project, go create a piece of artwork on your own, one stamp at a time.

handmade card box to fit standard A2 cards

by nataliegramleystamps | Jan 26, 2022 | 3D projects, Designer Series Paper

Do you ever give your cards away as a gift? It makes the perfect teachers or hostess gift! But how to package them – right? Today’s post is the simple and perfect gift wrapping solution – we are going to make a box to fit our cards!

Measurements:

Box Base: Colored cardstock 7 1/2″ x 8 3/4″
scored at 1 1/2″ on all four sides
Box Top: Coordinating DSP 6 3/4″ x 7 5/8″
scored at 1″ on all four sides.

Boxes are easy to make the hardest part is figuring out the measurements, these will fit standard American sized A2 cards and clear envelopes. I made the top snug because Ilike them to fit that way if you like the box top slightly less snug increase the dimensions of the box top by 1/8″ to both measurements.

Cut an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of cardstock (I used Misty Moonlight for the box base in this example) to 7 1/2″ x 8 3/4″ and score on all sides at 1 1/2″.

Cut the score line on the long side of the paper to the crossing score line – see photo above for the example. Do this on all sides

Place Tear’n’Tape on all the created tabs.

Crease all score lines with your bone folder, remove paper backing for the Tear’n’Tape and place the adhesive inside the box.

Cut your desired piece of DSP ( I used Artfully Composed) to 6 3/4″ x 7 5/8″ and scored on all sides at 1″
Follow the same instructions as for the box base – cut on the long side the tabs to the second score line, fold all sscore lines and adhere the tabs to the inside of the box using Tear’n’Tape.

Fill the box! In this example I filled it with pretty handmade cards – what a great gift!!

Decorate the box with ribbon and tags and give the gift away! The recipient will be so impressed that you made the box and the cards!

It is so fun to be able to share our creations and doubly fun to make the box that the gift comes in. Share your creations and create a box – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
