Up, Up and Away..... Going 3d with Lulupu Challenge #35

Hello crafty artsy pals,

Its getting way too cold here for my liking..... literally brrrrrrr.......Today, I made something waaaaaay beyond my comfort zone - traditional paper crafter way - measuring, scoring, cutting, more measuring and that too requiring precision. Goodness...... so much measuring and precision cutting had my head reeling, at one point I considered giving up and making something else. Lol. Im glad its done on time as my DT inspiration for Lulupu's Challenge #35 - Go 3D. There is still time to link your entries.

 

Although I was quite tired just putting together the basic frame, couldn't resist using some of my favorite stamps from Kaisercraft and Prima. I also really enjoyed weaving paper to make the basket / box.

Yes, a hot air balloon box which now holds my precious wood veneer collection. I found a free template for this project on Iida Dias' blog. She has tons of really awesome projects and has generously shared free templates too. 

 

Supplies: Prima 'Something Blue' paper, kaisercraft  & prima texture stamps, lace, rhinestones and few odds from my stash. 

Entering this into:

 

Kraftzone - Pattern Paper + Stamping + Embellishments. My second entry this month :)

 

Imaginations online - Pattern Paper + Rhinestones + Butterflies (stamped image)

Now for something that's more up my alley. I hadn't posted this tag, which I made earlier this month for the previous Lulupu Challenge. Mia as Prima marketing has fondly named this stamp is so addictive, I made 6 of her. There are more Prima doll stamps available on the Lulupu store.

One more project to be posted..... maybe in a few hours.
