May 3D Tutorial Bundle & Blog Hop

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the May 3D Tutorial Bundle!  In addition to the May 3D Tutorial Bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop.  We’re each sharing a project created to coordinate with our tutorial project.  This month’s tutorial bundle feature a variety of creative projects.

Now for a Sneak Peek of the May 3D projects…

The card below coordinates with my 3D project and is great to use when you need a card with a masculine theme.  Be sure to “hop along” following the links at the bottom of this page to check out the other projects from the 3D Tutorial Bundle Design Team.  Sailing Home

Card Details:
  • Card Base: Balmy Blue (5-1/2″ x 11″, score at 4-1/4″ and fold to create card)

  • Cut the compass design of the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper (3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″) and attach to the striped layer on the card.
  • On a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the small sailboat from the Sailing Home Stamp Set using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad.  Color the boat using Balmy Blue Light Stampin’ Blends Marker and Crumb Cake Light Stampin’ Blends Marker.  Cut using the coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies.

Dressed To Impress

During the cleaning and reorganizing of my craft cave recently, I came across a package of Lipstick Ink Pens ordered from Amazon last year for one of those “good intentions” projects.  You know you have “good intentions” to make a project, order all the materials but it never gets made!  Can you relate? Thought I can’t remember the original design, I knew the Dressed to Impress bundle would be perfect to create a 3D project using the ink pens.  Even better, the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper contains a variety of colors to coordinate with the Lipstick Ink Pens. The resulting project is a Lipstick Pen and Post-It Note Holder.

For this week’s Playtime with Paper team online meeting, members received a kit for creating this project.  It was a fun to be able to meet virtually and craft together making the project.  

Dressed To Impress Lipstick Pen Holder

Project Materials:
  • Cut the following pieces of cardstock: 
    • Base:  4-1/4″ x 11″, score at 5-1/2″ and fold.  
    • Inner Support: cardstock 4″ x 4-1/2″.  On the 4-1/2″ side, score at 1/2″, 2-1/4″ and 4″.  Fold along score lines to form a “W”.  

    •  Lipstick holder: 3-1/2″ x 2-3/4″.  Score along the 3-1/2″ side at 3/4″, 1-1/2″, 2-1/4″ and 3″.  Score the 2-3/4″ side at 2″.  Use bone folder to burnish along the score lines.
    • For sentiment: Whisper White cardstock 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
  • Select desired Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and cut as follows:
    • 5-1/4″ x 4″
    • 3 pieces at 1/2″ x 1-3/4″
  • Dressed To Impress Stamp Set
  • Classic Stampin’ Pad to coordinate with project 
  • Stitched Shaped Dies
  • Coordinating ribbon 
  • 2″ x 2″ Post-It Notes
  • Lipstick Ink Pens (Amazon link)
Project Assembly:
  • Use the 5-1/4″ x 4″ Best Dressed Designer Series Paper to one side of the cardstock base.  This will be the front side of your project.
  • Attach the inner support piece to the inside of the base.  To do so, add a strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape Adhesive or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the outside of each of the 1/2″ flaps and attach each flap to the lower interior edge of the base.

  • Create the lipstick holder.  With paper snips, cut along each score line on the 3-3/4″ side up to the 2″ scored line.  After cutting, you will have 4 tabs that are 3/4″ and one tab that is 1/2″. Cut and remove the 1/2″ tab up to the 2″ score line then cut a small angle at bottom of the tab.  Trim along each side of the tab.  Add adhesive to outside of the 1/2″ tab and fold side over to create tube.  Fold each of the flaps and seal with adhesive to form the tube bottom.  Finish by adding the 1/2″ x 1-3/4″ Designer Series Paper to three sides of the tube.  With strong adhesive, add the lipstick tube holder to the front panel of the base.

  • Add the Post-It Notes to the front of the base using a strong adhesive aligning the bottom of note pad with bottom of lipstick tube holder.
  • Stamp sentiment onto the Whisper White cardstock.  Cut using the circle Stitched Shapes Die.  
  • Add the sentiment above the post-it notes using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Embellish by adding a small bow using Mini Glue Dots.  

Have fun selecting your favorite Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and coordinating cardstock to create a Lipstick Pen Holder and Post-It Notes holder for your desk.  Be sure to share your project with me in the comments section!

Important to note:

The list includes the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and the Dressed to Impress Bundle.  The designer series paper will no longer be available after June 3 or while supplies last.  The Dressed to Impress Stamp Set and the coordinating All Dressed Up dies will return in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog but not offered as a bundle.  Recall that a bundle saves you 10% vs purchasing the items individually.

March 3D Tutorial Bundle & Blog Hop

It’s a new month and to kick it off, we have the March 3D Tutorial Bundle!  In addition to the March 3D Tutorial Bundle, the team is featuring a blog hop.  We’re each sharing a project created to coordinate with our tutorial project.  The theme for this month is Spring Celebrations.

Remember, the projects designed for the 3D tutorial bundle aren’t available elsewhere online.  Therefore, you’ll receive EXCLUSIVE projects in the tutorial bundle.  In addition, you’ll receive both Imperial and Metric project measurements.

Here’s a Sneak Peek of the March 3D projects…March 3D Tutorial Bundle

For my coordinating project, I designed an Easter card by combining several stamp sets.  Don’t you agree the “little chick” from the Full of Happiness Stamp Set is cute and makes you think of Easter? Want to use the card for another Spring celebration?   Just change out the sentiment.  Easter Card

Card Details:
  • Create card base using a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock.  Score at 4-1/4″ and fold along score line.
  • Use a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock for the second layer.  Attach to the card base with adhesive.
  • Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5″ x 3-3/4″.  On the right side of the cardstock, stamp the chick from the Full of Happiness stamp set.  Use Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin’ Pad for the body, Pumpkin Pie Classic Stampin’ Pad for the feet and beak and Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad for the eyes.
  • On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the egg shell outline using Sahara Sand Classic Stampin’ Pad.  If desired, add the speckles using the same color.  Cut using the coordinating Dino Dies. 
  • Use the egg shell as a guide to determine where to stamp the greenery vines from the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp Set (this is a Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set, you can get it free with a $50 order!).  Remove the egg shell and stamp the vine using Granny Apple Green Classic Stampin’ Pad.  Also, stamp part of the vine below the chick’s feet.  Stamp small flowers on the vine using Gorgeous Grape Classic Stampin’ Pad.  
  • Stamp “Easter Greetings” sentiment from Fable Friends Stamp Set on the card using the Gorgeous Grape Classic Stampin’ Pad. 
  • With adhesive, add to the Granny Apple Green layer.
  • Adhere the egg shell to the card front.  
  • With the Small Bloom Punch (Sale-a-Bration brochure offering), cut 5 flowers from the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper.  
  • Using the open leaves dies in the Detailed Bands Dies, cut 2 sets of leaves.  Snip into pieces to length desired.  Add to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.  
  • Next, position the 5 flower blooms so they are cascading from the egg shell and attach using Mini Glue Dots.  Lastly, complete the card by adding Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the center of each flower.
