3-D Tuesday Challenge: Pull-Treat Card

I'm the hostess for this week's 3-D Tuesday challenge at Paper Craft Planet. I had so much fun making this pull-treat card for the recent Clear & Simple Stamps release featuring the Sweet Tooth set that I thought it would make a fun challenge. And, to make the challenge even more fun, Clear & Simple Stamps has generously donated a Sweet Tooth set to be given to one randomly selected participant in the challenge. All you need to do to win the set is create a pull-treat card of your own and upload it to the Paper Craft Planet gallery using the keyword 3d13. On Sunday, I'll select a random winner from all of the entries to receive the Sweet Tooth set.

Since Tammy's already done a great job writing a tutorial for this project (see it here), I won't go in to much detail on how to make this project. Here's my candy bar version using one of the sentiments from the Sweet Tooth set. I embellished the pull-treat wrapper with a belly band of striped patterned paper. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white paper and layered it on mats to coordinate with the colors in the patterned paper. I embellished it with a trio of Prima flowers with Dew Drops at the centers. A piece of pink grosgrain ribbon is wrapped around the candy bar and through the slits in the pull-treat.

Materials Used:

Sweet Tooth stamp set (Clear & Simple Stamps);Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose, Certainly Celery, and Whisper White cardstock, Regal Rose Craft ink, horizontal slot punch, Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon (Stampin' Up!); patterned paper (KaiserCraft); flowers (Prima); Dew Drops (Robin's Nest)

These pull-treats can be fun packaging for lots of different things. Here, I changed things up a bit by using a microwave popcorn package instead of a candy bar. To figure out the size of the paper needed for the pouch, I measured the width of the popcorn package, doubled it so it could be wrapped around, then added on a half inch or so for overlap.

The images used to decorate the wrapper are from the Bucket o Popcorn set, also from Clear & Simple Stamps. I colored the images with Copic markers. The popcorn portion of the image is stamped a second time, cut out, and attached to the image with dimensionals to look like the bag of popcorn is overflowing. The black band around the wrap is crimped with my paper crimper, mirroring the striped look of the popcorn bag in the image.

Materials Used:

Bucket O Popcorn stamp set (Clear & Simple Stamps); white Pure Luxury cardstock (Gina K Designs); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic); Real Red and Basic Black cardstock, black grosgrain ribbon, horizontal slot punch, dimensionals (Stampin' Up!); crimper (Fiskars)
