Eye spot a 3-D card!

Managed to get my craft mojo back this week, but lost my healthy eating one and subsequently put on weight. I'll get it right one of these days! So, onto the makes.

To start with, i decided to try my hand at a 3D box card, after seeing a great one on Pinterest. If you search for exploding box cards you will find it, and the ones on there are far better than mine. I started off by cutting black card into 21cm by 21cm, then scored at 7cm intervals before cutting out the squares on each corner. I then cut out squares of white card, 6.5 by 6.5cm, decorating them with stamps and distress ink, as well as stencils on the inside ones. Once they were on the card i made a lid and added a decorated square to that, as well as some flowers that were stamped and cut out, and some dies and sepals. I stamped some butterflies, coloured them with Lindy's sprays and cut them out, before attaching them to the inside of the card using acetate. I then assembled the box.

For my second make i cut a tag out of white card, then embossed the Visible Image eye on it, colouring in the iris with chameleon pens. I stamped a second eye and cut it out so that i could mask the tag eye. I used the cobwebs stencil, crackle stamp and some drops of Lindy's spray, then used distress crayon on the edges. Finally i glossy accented the eye itself.

Finally, here is the update on the photo stitch. Good progress has been made this week, and there are only two more colours to stitch here before moving on to the penultimate page.
