January Blog Challenge Part II

Here is Part II of my guest blog post!

I hope you enjoyed some of the cards and goodies made with my box of challenge goodies!  As you can tell, I had a field day with this stuff!  Just as I finished something up, another idea would pop in my head!  That's how I ended up with so many fun things.

Part II of this blog features one of my favorites: 3D projects (don't tell my cards I said that!).  I try with each workshop or class to show a 3D project with each card we make.  Why?  I want to show the versatility of our products.  But enough talk- let's get to the show and tell!

First up: These adorable tiny treat boxes.  I fell in love with these the minute I saw them.  They are so little and perfect for stacking and using for a small treat.  I plan to send some to my little gift shop for jewelry boxes.  Well, that's if I don't hoard them all myself!

The boxes are simple to assemble and begging for decoration!  Here is how I put mine together:  Box 1 has a shaker top using the gold sequin trim and shaker frames.  The bottom uses the Hello Life stamp set to make a design around the middle, where I added the little heart detail.

Box numero dos uses washi tape all around the sides and has a little heart from the Hello Life kit added on the front with dimensionals.  The top mimics the banner on my Project board in blog #1 and is blinged out with some sequin trim!

Our last box is made with paper from the Stacked with Love DSP paper stack.  I made a double pennant and glued half to the top of the box, and then folding it over. I left the bottom free of adhesive so the box could easily be opened.  Some Staz On white ink, a chalkboard heart from the Hello Life kit and some frayed twine from the kit finish this little guy up!

When using a paper stack of DSP, I always get a hankering to make "sour cream packets".  The dimensions of the paper is perfect, and they are a great "random acts of kindness" gift.  So, I couldn't help making some here! Aren't they so cute?

Finally, I wanted to continue with my 3D projects and make a small journal.  These journals make perfect hostess gifts or are a great little something to give for any occasion.  Here is my take on journals using these products:
