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...
Morning John, a beautiful set of cards and box good to see it again.

ReplyDeleteThe box is just perfect with very clear instructions, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'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.

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.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Wonderful !
