Today I have a project I think a lot of you are going to love. It is perfect for gift giving for the holidays. It is the new Susan's Garden 3-D Book die that can be used for inserting a gift card or be used for small gifts. It is a die you will be able to use year round.
Here is a picture of the Susan's Garden 3-D Book package along with the box I created. It is one of the long Sizzix dies that you need to use the Extended Cutting Pads with to die cut it. To create a very solid box, I recommend purchasing Craft-a-Board from Ellen Hutson, LLC. This board is thin enough to be used with most diecut systems and dies, yet sturdy enough to produce beautiful projects. I covered the Craft-a-Board with Design Paper.
To decorate my 3-D Book (box), I created a poinsettia using Susan's Garden Poinsettia Dies. I also used the Susan's Garden Christmas Holly and Susan's Garden White Pine Pinecones dies for fillers under the poinsettia. A sparkly white ribbon was used to close the book.
I always have certain people on my Christmas List that ask for gift cards. This little 3-D Book creates a beautiful box I am sure the recipient will love more than receiving a gift card in a little folder or envelope.
I still don't have time to post tutorials on the new Susan's Garden products, but if you have any questions, please email me and I will help you.

Gorgeous E-Book Selma. Would it work ok in the Grand Calibur. Hugs Rita xxx
Rita I don't believe the Sizzix Bigz dies will go through the Spellbinder Grand Calibur machine. I think they are too thick.
I do have a big shot, so maybe that would do it. Thanks anyway Selma. Xxx
This is stunning! Love the beautiful flower!
Selma, This is lovely! As always you did such a beautiful job.
Beautiful! I can see this cute box being used in so many ways. Thank you! I will definitely get my Craft-a-Board from Ellen Hutson, LLC.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Morning Selma,

The 3D Book and especially the decoration.
Wow....I love the Poinsettia with the holly and pine.
The Southern Magnolia is also very beautiful and real...

I self watched on your blog and saw than these BEAUTIES!! Thanks for sharing...
Have a wonderful THANKSGIVING DAY,

Once again, a beautiful creation. I need to get some pan pastels but don't know where to start. Maybe you could give me a list of at least ten of your go to colors to get me started.
This is gorgeous ! I am trying to make one of these mini book-box with the help of the instructions inside the die, but there are no papers sizes and the box doesn't stay closed unless you use a ribbon... Can you help me ? Thank you so much ! Cristiana
