Friday Die Day

Hello friends

Aww thank you for the lovely comments on my inky 

background bird card. I have another project to share with you 

that I created at Eileen's class, just waiting for a day that isn't too 

dull to take photos! 

I'm on a bit of an inky roll!

This week's Friday Die Day features Boxed In,

one of the dies from the Perfect Match Collection by Debi Adams.

This is a 3 piece die set and the approximate measuresments are:

Box Half: 3.00 x 4.60 in 7.60 x 11.70 cm
Box Flap: 2.25 x 1.75 in 5.70 x 4.40 cm
Opening: 0.50 x 1.00 in 1.30 x 2.50 cm

I started with a piece of A5 card (Papermill) and blended various 

Distress Oxides. I then spritzed with water and patted dry.

To create the box you cut the largest die twice and the flap once.

There is a little semi circular die that you can positon to make 

the opening, I did this after I took this photo!

Fold along those score lines, insert and affix into place the flap

and assemble, it is dead easy and makes absolute sense when folding.

From the leftover inked card I die cut a few 

little flowers and leaves, they didn't disappear for long! 

Tied twine around the box and fixed into place with a little oval die cut sentiment.

Popping the leaves and flowers into place and adding pearls to the centre.

It's a diddy box - finished size is 

2 inch wide x 3.375 inch height x 0.50 inch.

You could use it for a gift card, jewellery,

notes - written or monetary! 

Or great table favours, you could pop a lucky dip card inside.

Fun to make and I'm really enjoying the inking.

Boxed In is available on the website as pre-loved here.

Just a couple of die sets available.
