3D Project/Big Shot/Gift Item Class/Club - Thursday, March 20


Here are the fun projects we made at the 3D Project/Big Shot/Gift Item Club this month!!

We were focused on Easter this month!!

It was so great to work with the fabulous Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper -
it really got me in the mood for spring!!



This first project is a fun Easter basket - 
just fill it with some Easter grass and your favorite Easter candy, and you're all set!!


This basket is so easy to assemble...

Just take a 12x12 piece of cardstock (we used Calypso Coral), and score it at 4" and 8" on both sides.  Fold along all score lines.  Next, fold each of the corners in to meet the other score line so that you create a triangle flap at each corner.  Then, fold these triangles in to overlap each other on two sides.  Add a ribbon to each side of the box (we attached our Crushed Curry 3/4" Chevron Ribbon to a piece of cardstock to give it some sturdiness), punch a hole through it all and hold together with a brad.  It really is simple!!

Next, we added a piece of the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper to the front of the basket and tied an Organza Ribbon around the DSP.  Then, we stamped "happy easter" and that cute bunny (in Wild Wasabi ink) from the Eggstra Spectacular Stamp Set and die-cut that piece (and the Daffodil Delight circle) using the Circle Framelits.  Finally, we mounted those pieces on a Wild Wasabi piece die-cut with the Starburst Framelit Dies.


Crushed Curry 3/4" Chevron Ribbon  130019  $8.95



Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper  132994  $10.95



Whisper White 5/8" Organza Ribbon  114319  $5.95



Eggstra Spectacular Stamp Set  wood-mount  133068  $15.95
Eggstra Spectacular Stamp Set  clear-mount  133071  $11.95



Circle Framelits  130911  $26.95



Starburst Framelit Dies  132967  $26.95


This is our next project...  
Thanks so much to Vicky at Crafting Clares Paper Moments for this cute Easter bonnet idea!!



We die-cut the Daffodil Delight "bonnet" with the Circle Framelits, then we filled a Sweet Treat Cup with some Easter M&Ms and sealed that to the circle.  Next, we tied a Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon around the bonnet.  Then, we punched those cute flowers (using the Boho Blossoms Punch) and the leaves (using the Bird Punch) and added them to the Sweet Treat Cup with Mini Glue Dots.  Finally, we added some pearls to the flowers to complete the dainty bonnet treat!!



Sweet Treat Cups  116802  $2.95


Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon  126872  $4.95


Boho Blossoms Punch  119858  $16.95

Here's the last project we made at class this month...


It also features the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper (this time in Gumball Green and Island Indigo shades), along with the Decorative Dots Impression folder (a FREE Sale-a-Bration item with any $50 order!!).  We stamped those beautiful tulips and the "Wishes for a Blessed Easter" in Black Stazon ink directly on the piece of Watercolor Wonder DSP (no coloring of the tulips is required - the DSP does it for us!!).  Next, we added those cute flowers using the Petite Petals punch and added more of those fabulous pearls to the center of the flowers.
