Hello Crafty peeps,
Valentine is almost here, and who doesn’t love to get
gifts... This project is combo of not 1, not 2 but 3 gifts..
It’s a 3D Paper cake, that I made as a part of my DT project
for CraftsNeed.
Lets not create more suspense and head on the pictures:
Short Explanation:
It’s a 3 layered square Box Cake, with something in each
boxes. In the first box, being the smallest contains the gold Pendant box in
it. (You can put anything like ring,watch, chain, earrings etc). The middle box
is full of chocolates, and the largest box is having a mini album where the
pic/messages/ memories can be stored. I believe, a crafter’s gift is incomplete
without an album holding messages….
Tutorial:
- Take a 7 by 7 base cardboard or
chipboard. I have used white chipboard.
- Make hollow boxes, 5.5*5.5*2.5 ; 4.5*4.5*2.5 ; 3.5*3.5*2.5
- Make corresponding lids. 5.75*5.75*2 ; 4.75*4.75*2 ; 3.75*3.75*2
- Matt everything with red cardstock
(you can take any color).
- Matt only Lids (you can also matt
boxes) with pattern paper.
- Made border strip (with border
punch )for the bottom of boxes with red cardstock. (If you are matting boxes
with pattern paper, this step is not needed)
- Have stick the burlap ribbon (From
Craftsneed) on the border of the base and the lids.
- Glued the largest box onto base.
- Then glue the middle box on the
lid of the largest box
- Glued the smallest box on the lid
of the middle box. For more explanation you can watch video.
- For the top of the smallest lid,
have cut a piece of pattern paper and stick it
- Now the part of decorations, I
have used few hearts, flowers, flower
petals, fillers and pearls, die cut from the pattern paper pack and chipboard
element from Papericious.
- The flowers I used are from store.
- The papericious chipboard element. I have
heat embossed it with Red glitter embossing powder and yes, I loved the
outcome. Wonderful designs.
- Finally fill up the boxes with
whatever you wish to gift.
- I have filled the smallest box with pendant
box and flowers on the inside corner of the box, middle box with chocolates,
and the largest box with petals and a mini album.
- The mini album I had made is of 4*4 size as
to fit in the box. Used hidden hinge and is having 6 pages with 3 tags for
messages.
