Stamp N Hop November blog hop - 3D project

Hi everyone and thank you for joining me today. It is nearly half way through November already and time for another Stamp N Hop blog hop. I hope you have been enjoying hopping around some of the other blogs to see the amazing projects made by such a talented group of crafters. You should have just arrived here from Nicole Mahler (US) and you are now visiting me, Jill Chapman from the UK. Our theme for this month is to make a 3D Project. Some of you will know that I am more of a card maker so themes like this always push me a little out of my comfort zone, but actually I always enjoy being challenged and usually like the results! So for today's challenge I have a little self closing box for you!

I made the box in Balmy Blue and then covered the side and front panels in Whisper White which I had first dry embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder. The snowflake embellishment is made with dies from the So Many Snowflakes die set and cut from Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper, Silver Foil and Whisper White, finished off with a Blue Adhesive Backed Gem. I then just tied a bow with the really pretty Snowflake Splendour ribbon and adhered it to the top panel with Glue Dots.

 

The way that this box is scored and folded means that the top stays shut unless pressure is put on the two sides - see below. Then when the pressure is released it just snaps back shut - like magic! 

I do hope you like my project. I will be back in a few days with a video tutorial to show you how I made it and all the measurements you will need if you want to make one of your own. 

Meanwhile please do keep hopping around our blog hop. Next up is Mo Rootes (UK) - I'm sure she will have an amazing 3D creation to inspire you, so don't miss it!

Thanks so much for joining me today. Please pop in again soon - I am taking part in another blog hop tomorrow so you won't want to miss that!
