First Sample...

Happy Monday,

I thought I would hare a fe closer pics of the first sample I made with my sandwich box die set.  This was exactly what I intended when I designed this die a set that could all be made with the one die.




I stared by making the full filigree box.  I cut the front pice 4 times and added the filigree panel to each of them.  Next I cut 4 of the side panels and again cut the filigree panel this time into each piece.  I then simply made up the box as shown in the youtube video thats on my channel.



Next I made the card.  I used the corner filigree panel die and cut this time into a piece of the gold lustre card.  I studded this with pearls and mounted it onto velum to give a soft look.  I added this to a set of layers made with the same card and the press cut stitch dot squares.

I added my Starflowers and leaves to the centre diagonal again cut in the same card shaped and with pearls in the centre.


For the smaller version of the  card I repeated the same process as above but used the smaller corner panel die which is exactly half the size of the larger panel.

I added smaller pearls in the centre of the filigree with just the smallest of the starflowers in the centre.


So just using one die set ( and one set of squares and one set of flowers) then a collection all done, perfect for a special occasion I thought!


Enjoy...

  12. The box is just perfect with very clear instructions, thank you.
    I've only just looked at yesterday's card as I was with my Mum. That card too was lovely, but I hope you achieved your goal for the day. You have worked so hard and successfully on your products, I'm sure you must be in need of a break. It has been a lovely collection and I'm sure there's more in the pipeline. Well done and thank you for all the inspiration.

  13. Morning John, well I knew you were onto a winner when I saw the sample and this is certainly true, the sandwich box is so, so easy to make, the dies are of the highest quality and cut out crisply and neatly, I like the cut out middle bits too. Your samples and demo's on Hochanda since the release have been truly inspiring and I am eagerly awaiting your next release, I wonder how you can top this.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Another beautiful card made from the sandwich die set.
    You must be pretty well exhausted but at the same time exhilerated at the success of your products.
    Keep well.
