I had a play with one of my Sizzix XL dies today, the shaker box die is fab and I have made a couple of DT projects with it that I can't yet share but I put it to use today to make a box to house some teeny cards and envelopes. The cards measure 5.5cmx6cm and I made envelopes for them making a template from a Paperchase envelope.
I used a download from Willow designs to print on to card to make the box and used another to make toppers for the cards and the box.
I added ribbon to the box to keep it closed neatly. The mini cards fit inside the box perfectly.
I used different shaped Nesties to make toppers for the cards and then matted them on to squares of the patterned card.I added Hero Arts paper flowers as a finishing touch with some gems for a bit of sparkle.
I hope you are having a good Wednesday. I wll be back tomorrow with some DT cards.

WOW - I SO NEED MORE INFO ABOUT THIS PROJECT. It is amazing. I love my shaker box die and new ideas are always good. It's a stunning project! Do the envelopes fit in too? If so, where did you get them or did you make them???

ReplyDeletema che bel progetto!
ReplyDeleteLove the spice rack and the box/cards. I was playing with my shaker box die yesterday but as soon as I put it together my mojo flew right out the window, actually if you have very good eyesight you can see said box all abandoned on the top left hand corner of my cuttng mat. Lovely to see you back Hugs Pam x

Hi Millie,
ReplyDeleteI love your desk full of goodies and your current project! You know what you have that I wish I had the most? That lamp! My room has great light during the day, but is terrible at night when the sun goes down. And, my building is old with terrible wiring, so I can't even use the lamps I have if other lights are on in other rooms!
One of these days, I keep telling myself, one of these days...
Hugs,
Ramona :-)

Your work space it looking a little too tidy in my opinion Jane but I’ll forgive you on this occasion because I’m a little distracted but all those gorgeous coloured buttons.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea to use a spice rack to keep them in…..I love it!
Loving the cute cards too!
