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.
