Here's the inspiration image:
And here's my project:
stamps: chocolatissimo, grid, lots of dots, lines
ink: blushing bride, choc. chip, peach parfait, perfect pear
paper: blushing bride, cchip, pparfait, wwhite, rred
accessories: milk carton die, eyelet scallop border, decorative label, pennant punch, pear 1/4" taffeta, satin choc. chip ribbon (retired), organza taffeta ribbon, brights buttons, linen thread, yummy chocolates in the box
As soon as Georgie sent me the e-mail containing this picture, I knew what I wanted to make. I found a tutorial for the expansion of the milk carton die on Sunghee's blog, Creativity in Progress. Works like a charm! Thanks so much, Sunghee! It took me a bid of fiddling to make the satin "icing" but I'm really pleased with the outcome.
It's funny because, normally, I would make a 3d box like this and then let it hang around my stamp room for a few weeks and then one of my kids would eventually get a hold of it...and well, you can figure out the rest. This time? I'm giving this bad boy away while it still looks like it hasn't been handled by every person I know. I haven't decided who to give it to, but I'm givin' it even it it kills me! LOL!
I've been on a stamping spree lately. Late nights are starting to kick me in the ass. I'm going to bed early tonight. I swear. I just have this one...idea. It'll only take a few minutes...
Don't forget to head over the the Stampin' Royalty Challenge blog and play along with the challenge this week! Ske-doosh.

I tried this exact same box myself last weekend and I'll be teaching how to make it at my Halloween packaging class. Mine is not nearly as intricate as yours, though!
