"You are a Keeper" Candy Treat Box - 3D Wednesday with My Creative Time



Good Morning!

It is another 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time.  Today I made an adorable treat box that contains my favorite candy, swedish fish!  I can remember going to the department store when I was a kid and getting a 1/4 pound in a white paper bag and loving every single ounce!

This cool box is made with just ONE uncut 8.5" x 11" piece of cardstock.  I only had to score and fold.   You can see the tutorial here.

 

 

 I do believe that this is one of my all time favorite projects I have done.  You only need to use one piece of card stock and they can be decorated for ANYTHING!!!  Add as much or as little embellishment as you like.  Emma's Mini Frame and Arrow dies work so perfectly here.  I don't know if I will be able to give this one away, hehehe!

 

 I kept the back simple adding just some of the matching patterned papers.

 

 

This is a view of the opened box.  You could also use velcro or clips to keep the top closed instead of the eyelets and twine.

 

List of Supplies:

My Favorite Sayings stamp set, Stitched Mini Frame die and Capture Frame Arrow die  -  My Creative Time

Snorkel: School's Out patterned paper  -  Cosmo Cricket

Chartreuse Card Stock  -  Papertrey Ink

Salty Ocean Distress Ink

Mandarin Twine  -  The Twinery

Eyelets  -  We R Memory Keepers

Well that's it for me today.  I enjoyed making this project and I hope you enjoyed it too!  Have a wonderful day my friends!

Paper Clip/Push Pin Holders - 3D Wednesday



Good Morning!  Today for My Creative Time's 3d Wednesday I have some Paper Clip/Push Pin Holders I made out of recycled electrical tape holders.  My husband had a lot of these laying around and he asked me if I could use them.  Ummm, YES!  I put some paper clips, binder clips and push pins inside and tada -  cute little gifts!

 

 

I used the Stitched Mini Frame die to make the "Chalk Board".  The scissors are from "Chunky Jar Accessories" and the glasses are from "What's Growning On" stamp and die set.  The sentiment is from "My Teacher Rocks".

 

 

I simply covered the tops with patterned paper, added some embellishments, tied a ribbon and there you have it, a thoughtful little gift.

 

The next set I made also used Emma's Stitched Mini Frame die along with the arrow from the "Capture Frame die" set.  The sentiment is from "It's All About You" and the arrow stamp is from "You Are Here".  The paper is from The Carnival Stack by Die Cuts With a View.

 

 

 

The last version I made uses the "Rolled Flower Dies" and "Floral Sentiments" stamp set.  The paper is a pad from gcd studios called Funhouse.

 



  Additional Supplies I Used:

Makin-the-Grade Cricut Cartridge for apple cut at 3"

The Grade School 8x8 paper pad  -  DCWV

Fragments Charm and jump ring  -  Tim Holtz

Yellow Hemp  -  Liz's Paper Loft Boutique

White Hemp - Crafter's Square

Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, Picked Raspberry,

Scattered Straw and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks

Leaves - Modern Romance

Ribbon - Nashville Wraps

Bazzill Buttons

Star Dust Stickles

 

I hope I gave you some ideas for projects you would like to do!  For more inspiration go over to My Creative Time blog to see the design team's projects for this 3D Wednesday!

I hope you enjoy every minute of your day!



Mom and Dad Gift Card/Picture Holders - 3D Wednesday

Hello and Happy Birthday to Me!!!  Today is my Birthday AND it is 3D Wednesday over at My Creative Time.  I decided to make myself a pretty Gift Card/Picture Holder out of Emma's Stitched Journal and Capture Frame dies.  I usually give away just about everything I create so I was thrilled to make this for myself!  While I was making one I figured I would get a jump on Father's Day and I did a masculine version too!

WARNING: This is a very picture heavy post!

 

 I cut 3 frames, 2 of patterned paper for each side and one plain card stock to give the gift card holder a little weight.

Next I cut two Stitched Journal pieces to adhere together against the bottom of the frame.

 

 I took some thick twine and wrapped it around the top to make a sturdy "handle" so I can hang the gift card/picture holder as a decoration.  Then I braided three pieces of twine which made a nice lanyard to attach the pictures.  I put jump rings on the corners of the Stitched Mini Frame die and clipped them together with a little clasp that I actually recycled from a clothing tag.   I also got myself a little money on a Starbucks Coffee Card which slipped into the back pocket, hehehe!

 

 

The new Stitched Daisy die cut fit perfectly as an accent on the back pocket.

 

The sentiment is from an oldie of Emma's called "Mom You Rock".  I stamped the sentiment on labels from the "Chunky Jar Accessories" set.

 

 

The Father's Day Gift Card/Picture Holder is basically the same except for the paper choices and I used Button Twine for the handle and lanyard.   The lanyard and edge decoration have 6 pieces of button twine braided.

 

 

The sentiments on this are from the "Here's Lookin At You" stamp set and the d a d are from Lowercase Fun dies.

 

I did a Zigzag stitch with my sewing machine to attach the pockets to the bottom.

 

To attache the jump rings on this I used a recycled chain from a pair of work boots. It fits the "manly" theme anyway, hehehe!  On the back of each photo frame I wrote the date and age of my children.

 

List of Supplies:

Stitched Mini Frame die, Stitched Capture Frame die, Stitched Journal die

Lowercase Fun dies, Stitched Daisy die, Chunky Jar Accessories

Mom You Rock and Here's Looking At You stamp sets

All from My Creative Time

Sweet Girl 6x6 paper pad, Echo Park  -  Liz's Paper Loft Boutique
