Happy Birthday Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox

Today I am sharing a birthday card that I created for my daughter.

To create a card base I used the Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox which is the Amazing Paper Grace January 2021 Die of the Month.

At the end of the past I am sharing some photos showing how I put together the card. I used one of the hearts as a closure.

I created a pocket in a middle part and added there an insert with a photo.

To create the insert I folded a card in a half and then I die cut first a shape with the outline die only and then I die cut the decorative part.

I die cut six time the main shape using heavy patterned paper (30cm square) and snipped of the hinges from each panel.

Then I cut two pieces that I used to connect three panels. I scored each in a middle leaving 1/4'' gap. It gave me a room for my card so it closes flat.

When I was gluing the hinges I kept two Mail Boxes about 3 mm away from each other (the top part does not meet). Otherwise it would obstruct the card opening. To align the parts I placed the top Mail Box upside down to the previous one.

When I adhered all parts together I added the opposite Mail Boxes using 3D tape. I was planning to add the middle  one as a plain panel but then I changed my mind and I added 3D tape only at the edges (like the left panel) creating a pocket. I added an insert with picture in this pocket.

Thank yo so much for stopping by.

Amazing Paper Grace January Die of the Month Blog Hop – Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox

Remember the days in grade school when you dreamed of all the little envelopes you would collect in your pouch from Valentine's Day?  Well, we gotcha covered! Today I am introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for January 2021, the Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox.

 

Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these wonderful dies to create with.

Sweet hearts and petite envelopes are a symbol of love.  The Amazing Paper Grace Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox harkens back to the days where you thought that the number of envelopes measured how loved you were.  No worries, this elegant mailbox holds a bouquet of enveloped surprises and is a clever way to hide some cute little messages.  Oh, and the front of the mailbox opens!  Becca uses the inspiration from a vintage mailbox as the basis for this elegant representation where romantic and cute go hand in hand.

Don't worry if you don't have a sweetheart this year.  After the holiday, this set can be used as a blue mailbox.  Did you notice it is a mini-sized 3D Vignette?! Built just like the grand sized vignettes that came before it, this little mini stands 4.75-inches tall and folds flat for mailing to your sweetheart!

There are 17 dies included in the Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox

My Project Today using Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox

I created a card for my mum with a picture of my daughter.

I placed the picture on the second panel (from the front) so it is a bit deeper inside the card. I die cut the picture using a main die. I covered the picture with a copy paper so it did not scrach while passing through a die cutting machine.
