Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop Week 2 Nested Delight!

Thursday, November 11 2010

It is exciting week 2 of the Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop featuring Karen Burniston's Twist Cube Die. The Twist Cube Die twists and pops up. I have been travelling and am not primarily a paper artist so I opted for using the cube a little differently to save myself some time with logistics. My favorite part is always the decorating well unless it is edible and then the eating is an important part of course!

After seeing what sixty talented designers did in week 1 of the hop with the 3D House, the sky is the limit! I took the cube and used decorative papers to cover all sides leaving one end open as in a gift box. I filled it with decorative vines, berries, added a needle felted bird. Set on a gold plate with more ribbon, pinecones, greenery it makes an ideal centerpiece for my table in my new place.

Wow Debra! This is a work of art! The entire lovely scene spilling out of the box is a feast for the eyes. I am blown away! Thank you for taking on the challenge of showing that a die designed for paper crafters can be so much more!
