I'm posting this project with some trepidation as I really love this one and I'm genuinely not sure whether you will all like it! This box, yes I know another box, stared from the necessity to have a box that fitted and matched the card I had made. The card started with a Sizzix peony die however I want to highlight the card tomorrow so today all you get is the box!
The box is made, primarily, with Spellbinders Gold Elements One die corner. This die is cut into the two half's of the top to give a filigree section and a sneak peak as to what is inside.
As you can tell from this picture the opening of this box is a diagonal opening with a hinge at the corner meaning that the box flips open. It is hard to explain how this box actually works and holds a card however it should become clearer when I show the card tomorrow!
The next picture shows the box closed with a ribbon tie to keep the contents safe.The wonderful Wendy has agreed to film a tutorial on this one for me tomorrow so there will be a video tut for those who want it next week.
Till tomorrow, Enjoy...
It is wonderful John, I love how you've used the die - very innovative :) x

Pretty box John, I don't have that exact corner, but I have several which would substitute. Will look forward to the video - well done Wendy for volunteering.
ReplyDeleteLooks a great idea, probably makes it much easier to remove the card too(ever tried shaking a fancy card from a tight fitting box)
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing what is going in this creation
