~Good Tidings and a Red Door~

I envisioned a red door, once I discovered this ODBD set.


My girls attend a class that has a red door...


 Hope they get the meaning! ;)




The 3D gift box door was created with a 4X4 piece.

I stamped this beautiful ODBD door in the middle of it.






I used a blade to cut the door everywhere except the "hinges".

I colored the door with a Copic (it was easier to swipe with the broad head AFTER cutting the door out...I could fold it AWAY from the wall and work quickly).


Then, I scored 1/4" from every edge, then 1/2" also.



Fold it under at those folds and use 1/8" scor-tape on the outermost edge to secure to the card base.


(I stamped the sentiment and snowflakes from PTI before securing the door).


I used a small hole punch to create a hole on the door AND "wall".

I have this cool needle that splits in the middle, so you can take something as thick as this thread and string it through. (I wish I knew the name...I bought it blindly...but I'm so grateful for it).





Fun, huh?


It DOES fit in a regular envelope (hand carried, though).


Hope this springs some great ideas in your head~~~~~~



Thanks for stopping in. ;)
