Ice Cream Anyone?

Today I am sharing a fun project I made for the latest Little Paper Shop challenge, which is to create a 3-D item.  I LOVE ice cream!  So when I saw the "Ice Cream Tyson" digital stamp from Little Paper Shop I fell in love with it right away. 
 
You could win your own copy of "Ice Cream Tyson" just by participating in the challenge this week on the Little Paper Shop blog.  You can make any 3-D project you would like and you are not required to use LPS stamps to play along.  Just link up your creation HERE by Sunday April 18th at 10 pm EST and one random participant will win!
My box is a Birthday present that holds ice cream toppings and a gift card for a local ice cream shop!  How appropriate is the image of a little boy sharing a cone with his pup?!?! 

 
I created the tag by taking the striped PP and stamping the word "Happy" on each color, I then glued the various strips to a circle, and put the word "Birthday" on dimensionals.  Tyson and the pup are both paper pieced.  The grass was created by sniping a strip of PP and I sewed it down for some added texture and sponged the sky.  The blue mat is actually 2 of the Nestabilities Curved Rectangles die shapes, since I did not have a die that was long and narrow.


The box that holds all the toppings is the Perfect Presentation Able Gable box, with a finished size of 5-1/4  x 2-5/8  x  3 and 6-1/4" high with the handle.  I wanted to be sure to share a view from above showing that all those bags fill the box perfectly.  I probably could have added another bag too, but as a mom myself, I know that there is a such thing as too much candy! (I am waiting for all the Easter candy to disappear from my house!)


Be sure to check out the LPS Design Team's creations along with the other 2 guest designers this month...there are some creative 3-D projects out there!!!

Have a wonderful start to your week!
Smiles,
Julie
