A personal challenge between DT member Jay Jay and myself is to make more 3-D items…. at least once a month :0) This month JayJay found a wonderful template from Lauren Meader (another fellow DT member) her templates are wonderful to play with and you can find them at Papertrey Ink – the one we chose to use is called “Pack a Picnic”

Ok now I know this is called Pack a Picnic… but I saw a cute little porcelain jar when I made mine… funny huh? So I switched out the long strap handles and made a little loop handle for the top. I think it was the paper I chose, but I really love how it came out, even if I changed it up and went a different direction.

I glue dotted the handle down and then poked tiny holes through to put the wires from the flower through. Do you love those flowers or what!!!

I then added butterfly lace around the outside of the lid. Did I tell you what the paper is? I don’t think I did… duh It is from American Crafts, wonderful heavy two sided paper. The heavy paper really does work best with folding and holding up to making a box.

Now for the front of the box. I used one of the new Stampavie Sarah Kay images “Can I tell you a Secret” I just love how sweet this image is – so precious. I cut it out with my Fiskar’s large round squeeze punch, then added another Rose, three mini rose buds (also from Wildorchid Crafts) and two Martha Stewart Frond punched leaves.

I just love how this one came out.. I think I just may have too keep this to sit on my desk in my new craft room! LOL… Hubby just shakes his head when I am already decorating it…

So do you like making 3-D items? Me… I didn’t – but now I am getting addicted to them!

HUGS!
