First up is a mock tile card made with glossy accents. To get the impressions on the "tiles," I selectively dry embossed one of the designs on the PTI Quatrefoil Cover Plate.
Nice thing is, they have some dimension, but can also fold FLAT for mailing or storage. Just push 'em to the side!
This is the first one I did. Not bad, but I like the glossy accents on the boxes better.
Finally, here's a tiny valentine with washi tape that I'm entering in the Moxie Fab itty bitty card challenge. Same theme with the boxes,
but these have been stacked on top of each other in a stair step pattern. In the foreground you can see one of the boxes I used. Make them long like this, then they'll be super-easy to cut multiples.
And here you can see how it is able to fold flat, just like the others.
I've got one more of these for another challenge that I'll post soon. (ETA: here it is)
Thanks so much for looking!

Um, you are kind of a genius....I love these!

ReplyDeleteCollapsable boxes, WOW, that's just plain COOL! The first squares look like real tiles. Love them all! So glad you played along with us at CTS!!!
ReplyDeleteWow what an awesome Ideas to make these boxes. I was wondering how to mail this wonderful card ( normally I start watching the pictures and scroll back to the top of the apge and read the text to the post) but then I saw the fantastic effect. The woodgrain-look is fantastic aswell.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and have a wonderful day

Wow! At first look, I thought they were tiles, but then that wouldn't be practical so I thought they were just popped up on dimensionals. But little boxes? Get outta here! Most inventive idea yet!
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant, Kelly!! Love the glossy accents on the first one and the stacked hearts are so cute! Thanks for playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch this week!

ReplyDeleteYou mean this is a study in brains, Kelly! You win for having the biggest one! Wouldn't it be cool if we could install a micro chip video camera up in there and just learn from you that way and see the amazing process unfold?!!
