I just got the Expression and loving it! I went out to lunch the other day and spotted this cool box that resembled a house. I asked the waiter for one and brought it home. I put it on my scanner, traced in Illustrator, designed the color layers in Illustrator, cut on my Expression and assembled.
Here it is! My first 3-D type project:

Would love to see your creation if you decide to make it!

Re: My First 3D Project - Gingerbread House Gift Box
Very nice. We were in Red Robin the other day and they had a gingerbread house kind of center piece and I was all examining it and opening it up. I wasn't bold enough to ask for one, though. Good on ya.
We'll definitely be making one of these.

Jasen - that is where I got the sample from. I was sitting there trying to sketch it out (did not have a ruler).
The waiter said they have extras and I gave him a good tip.
Now I am going to be scoping out other 3D boxes when I go places!

I love this gingerbread house and am making it. Only one problem when I cut the red and green circle shapes my paper tears up. Any suggestions. Thanks toni
