Hello there stamping friends! I hope that you are having a fantastic week and a fabulous day! It's Friday, Yay, and that means it's time for another Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #634 | Just Add Anything But a Card Challenge.
I love this weeks challenge. It has gotten me thinking about making things other than cards and gettting me to rememeber how much I love making 3-D items, which I haven't done much at all this year.
I've gone with some super quick and super easy Origami Boxes. Perfect for that last minute gift that needs some quick and cute gift packaging. These boxes use one sheet of 12" x 12" paper and when they are all folded together you don't need any adhesive to hold them together, but you can if you want to.
I have made these before a few years ago but thought it was great to revisit them. To see how to make them follow this You Tube tutorial. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy these boxes are! And you don't have to use a full 12"x12" sheet. You just have to make sure that your starting piece of paper is square. Just bare in mind that the smaller the paper you start with the smaller your box will be. Perfect to customise for any gift.
All finished off with some retired white ribbon and some linen thread. I think with this bright, fun and busy DSP less is more for a clean and classic look.
Why not give these boxes a go? They are the perfect way to use some of that DSP that you have collected (hoarded) in your crafting stash.
There are lots of fantastic creations from the JAI team this week and they aren't all 3-D items so there will be lots of inspiration for our Anything But a Card Challenge. Go to the JAI blog to be inspired and then while you are there you can see how you can enter your project. Can't wait to see what you create this week.
