3D Lollipop Box

Hi Folks, It's Jinky here, hoping everyone had a great and well rested weekend. Let's start your Monday with this cheery inspiration. This is my take on the 3D Scene Card & Box from the Ultimate Advanced Construction Techniques DVD by Crafter's Companion. I created this 3D Lollipop Box as an inspiration project for Crafter's Companion Challenge for this month. It's perfect to house my Marshmallow Lollipop, isn't it? This is when great gift packaging becomes handy. It makes those ordinary gifts extraordinary. 

The Ultimate Advanced Construction Techniques DVD is really a great inspiration for making gift boxes. I just love that it is crammed full of crafty tutorials for advanced techniques, using the Envelobox Creator and Boxer boards in conjunction with the Ultimate Pro. 

Sara Davies- founder of Crafter's Companion and creator of the Ultimate-Pro takes you through this abundant list of step by step tutorials for papercrafting techniques. She starts with the beginner sections that will help you through the fundamental principles of using the two boards for measuring, scoring and embossing.  And then it progresses to more advanced tutorials where your imagination is really challenged.

I just love how my summer project came out. I used Pearlescent Bright cardstocks and decorated my 3D Lollipop Box with the S.W.A.L.K.3- Thank You Stamps and Fairyopolis Card Making Kit. I added a coordinating ribbon on the lid and a Carnation Crepe Paper Flower as my box topper. You can find the Crepe Paper flower tutorial here. 

Hope this 3D Lollipop Box inspires you to do some cool summer projects. 

Now, it's your turn to show what you can create with Crafter's Companion wide range of products for a chance to win the Crafter's Companion Summer Challenge for the month of June.

Thanks a lot for stopping by. Hope you have time to try this technique. Happy Crafting! - Jinky

Carnation Crepe Paper Flower Tutorial

So, as I promised yesterday, here's the tutorial on how to make the Carnation Crepe Paper Flower I used on my Triangular Flower Vase project.

Carnation Crepe Paper Tutorial

1. Die-cut, punch-out or cut-out circular shape from a crepe paper ( or tissue paper ) about 15-20 pieces depending on your liking. If you do not have a punch or die-cut, use a decorative scissors.

2. Insert a floral wire or brad on the center to join all your cut-out circle together. 

3. Separate carefully the layer and pinch toward the center one at a time. Apply a little more pressure on your first layer and less pressure as you continue on the subsequent layers.

 4. Fluff the petals back out again until you form a perfect dome shape. DONE!
