Hello, back with another catch up post, the First Edition papers are the perfect quality
and weight for 3D paper crafting projects. I found the ‘Sweet Nothings’
papers perfect for this gypsy caravan gift box, with it’s romantic
florals, soft spring colours and those fabulous wood pattern papers! I
have a video to show the caravan inside and out, link here: https://youtu.be/nxw_SIvG2yU
Step By Step:
This project has been cut on the Cricut Explore using Design Space images. (Although I have cut this project on my Explore, a similar design
could be made manually by adapting a box, shape the top sides and add a
roof. Glue box onto larger card base and add wheels)
I chose the plain wood effect papers to construct the base of the
box, as this was also double sided with a lovely rose print for the
inside of the box.
The main top body of the caravan using the matching wood effect paper
that has the rose pattern on it, which gives the appearance of
stencilled flowers on the caravan.
For the wheels I cut an extra set to double them up and give extra
strength, this also gave the wheels a pink paper backing to match the
front.
Wheels have been attached using little brads (or split pins) the
heads are hidden behind the little hearts which have been glued onto
the head of the brad after assemble.
I’ve kept the decorations simple but you could really have fun
dressing this one up, perhaps adding trailing flowers, etc. I have used
the solid roof for the caravan but you could you the slotted roof option
that would allow little notes to be posted into the box, idea for
weddings etc.
