PPA71 - 3D Color Challenge

Stampin' Up! Bigz XL Mini Milk Carton

When I first saw the Celebrity Color Challenge for this week's Pals Paper Arts post, I thought UGH!  What in the world can i do with these colors for the holidays?  Then I started trying to think out of the box - or in this case, the carton - the mini milk carton, to be precise.  I had wanted to create a gingerbread house out of one of these ever since I first got it, so this was was the perfect opportunity.  Don't the Pear Pizzaz and Regal Rose shingles remind you of the Nikko Wafers?

Stampin' Stuff:

Stamp Sets -

  • None 

Ink - 

  • None

Paper - 

  • Early Espresso Card Stock (119686)
  • Regal Rose Card Stock (105130)
  • Pear Pizzaz Card Stock (119795)
  • Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

Accessories -

  • Anywhere Glue Stick (104145)
  • Sticky Strip (104294)
  • Mini Library Clips (109857)

Tools -

  • Big Shot (113439)
  • Mini Milk Carton Bigz L Die (117310)
  • Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die (120893 - Holiday Mini)
  • Modern Label Punch (119849)
  • Jewelry Tag Punch (117190)
  • Scallop Edge Border Punch (119882)
  • Square Lattice Impressions Embossing Folder (119976)

Putting It Together Tips:

  • The roof was created by cutting a 4'' x 1 1/2'' piece of Whisper White card stock.  3/4“ strips of Whisper White, Pear Pizzaz, and Regal Rose card stock 4'' long were run through the Scallop Edge Border Punch and glued alternately to create the roof.  Retain the 3/16“ scraps to create the candy cane striped trim.  Cut the roof in half to create both sides.  Cut a 2 1/2'' x 2'' piece of Whisper White card stock and score the 2 1/2'' edge at 1'', 1 1/4'', and 1 1/2''  Scallop Punch both 2“ edges and glue the roof pieces under to complete the roof assembly.
  • I glued the 3/16'' strips diagonally on a piece of Whisper White card stock alternately to create a candy cane effect and then ran it through the Tasteful Trim die positioning the card stock to provide equal edges on each side.  The die cut became the corners and the scraps became the wall trim.  Half of a Modern label punch became the door trim.
  • The windows were punched using the Jewelry Tag punch and run through the Square Lattice Impressions Embossing folder.
