Papercrafts Use your crafty skills to create two of Jodie Johnson’s stunning three-dimensional boxes

here is nothing quite like taking a plain, flat piece of A4 card and totally transforming it into a 3D work of art. Jodie Johnson demonstrates how you can do just that with a whimsical umbrella box and a divine jewellery box using the brand new Tonic Studios Dimensions dies. And the beauty of these projects? They can be as simple or as ornate as you want them to be.

Die cut all of the base core shapes from dark purple card. Take the two long strips with feet and stick the short ends together. Wrap this piece around the large rectangular base with tabs to create the base of the jewellery box. Find the four score lines at the top of the box you’ve just created. Leave the one across the back to become the glue tab for the lid, and fold and stick the other three down inside. Take the other two long die-cut pieces and stick the short ends together. Top with the rectangular piece that doesn’t have any glue tabs. Stick the lid to the glue tab on the base, and decorate. To decorate the box with the paper piecing method as shown, die cut a detail piece and add to a sticky sheet. Die cut the same piece in light purple, dark purple and pink and use the negative die cuts to fill in the empty spaces, then adhere the piece to the box.
