July Art with Heart Challenge: Make it 3-D!

7 Jul

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday weekend. It’s time for a new Art with Heart Challenge and our theme for July is “Make it 3-D”. The Inspiration Team has been busy creating with my Make it 3-D die and our dear Shelly Hickox had a great idea to use this particular die as the focus of an Art with Heart Challenge. For those of you that don’t know the Make it 3-D die is an easy way to make 3-D projects with your two-dimensional dies. There are three different ways to “Make it 3-D” with the Make it 3-D die so the possibilities are truly endless! You can use the Make it 3-D die with ANY of the Sizzix dies in your collection too. Want to learn more about the Make it 3-D die? Check it our HERE

You don’t have to use the Make it 3-D die for this challenge just show us your best 3-D projects! One lucky winner will receive a Make it 3-D die of their own. By the end of this challenge you’ll be amazed at what you can do with the Make it 3-D die once you see what the Inspiration team is creating.

Pam Bray starts us off with a fabulous project using the Make it 3-D die and an old favorite the Lace Doily! Pam combined these two Sizzix dies to create a colorful Candle Box gift set but this project can be used for all of your gift giving needs and more!

Stop by Pam’s blog to learn how to create this lovely Lace Doily Gift Box. Plus, Pam’s also sharing crafty tips and tricks for creating with Make it 3-D, Sizzix and Xyron!

Tracy Evans is no stranger to 3-D projects and her latest creation is as wonderful as ever! Tracy has used my Make it 3-D, Passport Book, and Recipe Card dies to create a trifecta of three dimensional Mixed-Media magic with DecoArt Media. I’m just giddy over those accent frames aren’t you?

Have a look at Tracy’s Blog for more details, photos, tips and even a video sure to take your crafting into another dimension!

Shelly Hickox has a 3-D project all decked out in red, white and blue Sizzix style! This Patriotic Camper proves that any time of year is a good time to celebrate the good old USA!
