I am taking either the sketch or color challenge and making a second card that is close to or similar to the posted card from the hop.  I want to inspire you to get different looks for your card by mixing it up a bit by color and design.  Today I used the same layout, with a twist and changed the colors to give the card an “Alternate” look.

Hi Stampers, Today is 3-D Saturday.  This is the day that I share a craft project that is not a card.  ( I love boxes!!!)   They could be boxes, party favors or cupcake toppers.  I am hoping this will encourage you to use all sorts of paper, dies and inks.  I do make many of my projects with Stampin’ Up! products but on 3-D Saturday I am sharing projects that are not limited to using only current Stampin Up products.  Each creation can be tweaked to allow you to customize it for your specific 3-D project.    Enjoy!

Cupcake Toppers:

Last week I shared a cake box for a luncheon I attended.  Here are the cupcake toppers that I made to go along with the cake boxes and the “sparkle’ theme we had.

Here is the recipe for the banner topper:

• Cut  the banner at 3/4 x 4-1/4 and score in half at 2-1/8
• Stamp your sentiment
• Put a strip of adhesive down the center of the banner and place a toothpick on the fold line
• Fold the banner is half which will secure the toothpick
• Stamp your flower with Versa Mark Ink and emboss with Gold Emboss Powder and heat set with your heat tool
• Punch your flower out with the coordinating punch
• Attach to the left side of the banner with a glue dot
• Punch some leaves using Gold Glimmer paper, Gold Foil and Silver Foil paper, attach with glue dots
• Add a rhinestone jewel in the center of the flower

Here is the recipe for the circle topper:

• Cut a scallop circle from your Stampin Up Layering Circle Framelits with the Gold Glimmer Paper
• Cut a small circle in Whisper White Card stock with your Stitched Circle Framelits
• Glue the two circles together
• Stamp the initial in Black in the center of the white circle
• Punch a small flower out with Gold Foil
• Add some Gold Glitter and Silver Foil Leaves
• Finish it off with a jewel

More cupcake toppers:

Change the colors for any party occasion and  customize these for your special get together.  Most importantly, have fun and create those lasting memories for  the people that are special to you.

Hi Stampers, Today is 3-D Saturday.  This is the day that I share a craft project that is not a card.  ( I love boxes!!!)   They could be boxes, party favors or cupcake toppers.  I am hoping this will encourage you to use all sorts of paper, dies and inks.  I do make many of my projects with Stampin’ Up! products but on 3-D Saturday I am sharing projects that are not limited to using only Stampin Up products.  Each project can be tweaked to allow you to customize it for your specific event.    Enjoy!

Today I have a cake box share that I made for a friends special 60th birthday lunch.  It was all about sparkle and so the favors had to match the theme.  I made the boxes from a die that I bought a few years ago.  I used some retired Stampin’ Up! paper and glittered it up with the flowers that are  embossed with gold powder and big jewels.

Cake Party Favors:

Here they are at the table:

Here is the recipe:

Cake box: Lifestyle Crafts (don’t have the cake box die?  just use any shape box, anything you make will be darling with sparkle accents)

Cake box DSP: Springtime foils

Here are the details:

• Die cut the cake box and lid and adhere together with glue dots
• Stamp your flowers with Versa Mark Ink and heat emboss with Gold Emboss Powder
• Punch some leaves with Gold Glimmer Paper, Silver Foil and Gold Foil (any leaf punch will do)
• I used the computer and typed out my tag but a simple Happy Birthday Stamp can be used too

More details:

• Loop some Metallic thread on top of the box where your flower will go
• Adhere your flower to the top of the box with a glue dot
• Adhere your leaves with glue dots
• Tuck your sentiment under the flower  with a glue dot
• Add a gem of your choice to the center of the large flower
• Add a few Metallic Gold Pearls and Rhinestones on the box

Here is the table with the favors tucked at each place:

Oh and fill your box with chocolates!  Mine have silver Hershey Kisses inside!

I want to encourage you to use some of your retired products for these fun projects and get creative in adapting  a cake box and making it a round box or do you have a square box you could use? One other idea is to buy something in the wedding section at your favorite craft store and bling it up the way I did.  Most of all, have fun and make a 3-D project

Hi Stampers:  It is 3-D Saturday and time for one last quick Christmas project.  I wanted to make some favors for our Colorado Christmas and decided to have some fun with the Kraft Pillow boxes and the Dashing Deer Framelits along with some Festive Farmhouse paper.  I was inspired by a card I made a few weeks ago.  They are fast and fun.  Oh and of course there are chocolates inside too.

Stampin’ Up! Kraft Pillow Box Favors:

Here is the recipe:

Kraft Pillow Boxes

Belly Band: Cherry Cobbler  7-1/8 and 2-1/2

Belly Band: Festive Farmhouse DSP  7-1/8 x 1-3/4

Art Piece: Very Vanilla Large Stitched Circle Framelit

Mat: Cherry Cobbler Layering Scallop Circle Framelit

Deer: Festive Farmhouse DSP Die cut using the Dashing Deer Thinlets

Here are the details:

• Put together your Pillow Boxes
• Score your belly bands at 2-3/16 and 5-1/4
• Wrap your Cherry Cobbler band around the pillow box and secure with Tear and Tape
• Wrap your second band made with the DSP around the Cherry Cobbler band and secure with Tear and Tape

More details:

• Emboss the Very Vanilla Stitched Framelit with the Swirls and Curls EF
• Mount to the Cherry Cobbler Mat
• Attach your Deer onto the art piece with snail
• Punch a few sprigs from the Sprigs punch using some DSP from the Festive Farmhouse DSP and a few from Mossy Meadow card stock
• Nip the tip of each sprig and use these tiny leaves to make the embellishment on the deer’s neck
• Die cut a tiny flower from Cherry Cobbler using the Detailed Deer die flower and adhere this to the middle of the leaf cluster
• Top the card of with a Gold Metallic Pearl in the center of the flower and then scatter a few more around the embossed circle
• Add a double bow of Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine  to the left on the embossed circle

Finishing touches:

• Stamp your sentiment in Mossy Meadow on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock
• Punch the end with the Triple Banner punch
• Adhere to the left of the art piece
• Add some more Gold Metallic Pearls to the art piece
• Fill with your favorite treat and your are done.  I use Dove chocolates because they are flatter than some of the other wrapped chocolates our there.
