Hello crafty friends! Davina here to share a few projects with the magical new August release. I was so excited when I was asked to guest design with several of the new items, and I hope you love my projects just as much as I do. All of the new products are so amazing but I was especially drawn to the incredible Pyramid Box die set, and the Wizard World stamps set. I love how perfectly they work together and how cute the illustrations are. I decided to make a matching gift set for my first time using this release. I think purple is always very representative of magic and it is iconic when you think of the sweet “froggy” boxes. So, I went with a fun and lovely pastel color scheme.
I started by die cutting the Pyramid Box with purple cardstock and quickly assembled it with little dabs of hot glue to hold each tab in place. No instructions were needed as it was designed so perfectly. Then I used the stitched dies to cut decorative purple papers, making sure to center each die on my stripes. I wanted some gold edging and found the easiest way to get my desired look was to glue each die cut pice onto glittery gold cardstock, then cut out leaving barely a 1/16 edge visible. It was easy as the lines are mostly straight. After adhering them in place, I die cut the pieces for the inside using the same method. I cut the folded hexagons apart so I would have enough room for my clay frog, and mounted them inside using layered foam tape.
I stamped the wizard boy image into the die cut frame and colored with copic markers. Then I adhered some holographic stars to the background. For the bottom portion, I created a faux chocolate frog with lightweight bakeable clay and a candy mold I had at home. I painted the froh with brown craft paint and used hot glue to mount it in place. Because I wanted to easily open the box without bending the frame, I used a loop of gold ribbon that I fed through a slit in the bottom, and glued on the inside. I covered it with the bottom hexagon and frog, but if you watch my reels on Instagram, you will see the ribbon pull.
Once I was finished with my beautiful box, I started work on my shaker card. I used the same patterned paper for the background of my mini slimline. I stamped many of the images from Wizard World stamp set and colored with copic markers. I cut out the characters with my scan n cut, and adhered them on top of my shaker frame. I stamped one of the sentiments in a die cut speech bubble that I added shading to, and a few more of the holographic stars. I finished off the card with a few little banners and teeny letter from the Wizard Mug die set.
I really how cute these products are and how well they were designed. I have so many magical ideas on other ways to use the little Pyramid Box die set. I hope these give you some inspiration for your own projects and make sure to check out the entire release from Pixie Dust Designs. Thank you for stopping by,
