Rings Of Love 3D Medallion Decorated Gift Box. 3D Thursday

 Good Morning Everyone

Happy Thursday.

It's 3D Thursday and this week I've decided on a pretty simple project. I wanted to showcase this very beautiful medallion print that appears in our Rings of Love DSP - which is currently a FREE Saleabration reward. But you will have to be quick, it's only available until the end of August or whilst stock last!

I've gone with a traditional 3D decoupage layering technique - cutting out the image several times, but cutting away at more and more sections to get different sizes - layer these on top of each other over the under layer perfectly to match the pattern and Hey Presto! a really simple but very effective 3D element or your project. The box measures 4" x 4" x 1" so a really good size to fit all sorts in.

Measurements

Night of Navy Card Stock

1pc - 10 1/2" x 6 1/2"

Rings of Love DSP

Fussy Cut Medallions

------------------------------------------

Take the DSP medallions and cut around one piece fully, then look at the design and cut a shape slightly smaller, keep going until your last one is the small circle in the centre - I chose to do 5. here's what they look like

Add these all together with Dimensionals to create a 3D element.

Now to create the gift box. Take you piece of Night of Navy Cardstock and score as follows:-
Long Side - 1", 5",  6" & 10"
Short Side - 1/2", 1" & 5 1/2"

Fold along all the score lines and burnish well so you have a piece that looks like this ( I have done this again in Pumpkin Pie as you could not see any lines on the night of navy piece I used for my project)

You need to start cutting away at the card to create the flaps and remove some sections. Have the cardstock in front of you as above.

• Remove the first three sections along to top line from the left and the thin one on the end, then notch in slightly on the remaining large rectangle
• On the next row down, cut down all the score lines to the next horizontal. remove the small rectangle one on the right hand side completely. Trim off a small piece of card from the top of the two squares and notch slightly. Remove the large rectangle in between these squares completely.
• cut up all the score lines along the bottom of the card to the first horizontal, and remove the rectangle on the right completely. You will be left with a shape like this.

Add tear and tape to the under side of  the skinny rectangular tab on the right hand side and fold it round and adhere to the opposite side. at the bottom, fold in the sides, back and then adhere the front panel down to create your base.

Now add the embellishment to the front of the box.

I didn't feel it needed anything else super duper fancy, as I didn't want to detract from the beautiful 3D embellishment I had created. You could quite easily add some DSP to the side and top or even pop on a little sentiment somewhere - but I really didn't feel it necessary. 

I hope you have enjoyed my project today, please take a look at the link below and check out Donn'a 3D project for today
