Fun with the Box Die


Hey everyone, Miriam here today to share a couple quick Box Die cards with you.

For this first card, I wanted to create a Valentine's Day card.  I was originally going to use a critter sticker, but of course I couldn't find it, and if could see my craft room you would know why.  I did however, locate this cute little fox who was fussy cut from a paper in the Simple Stories Sweater Weather collection.



The patterned paper I used for the box was one sided, so I added a little distressing to the inside of the box with Antique Linen Distress Ink to soften the white a bit.

The sentiment is from the new Be My Valentine set.



For my second card I wanted to use the box in a different way, and create the idea of things spilling out of the box, in this case sequins.

I first put together the box, and adhered it to the card base with foam adhesive.  Once that was done, I stamped and embossed the sentiment, from Party Dots.

Then it was just a matter of adhering the sequins.  I used a combination of the Crystal Clear, Gold, and Black.



So fun to create!  I know lots of you have been waiting on the Box Die, and it's going to be back in stock this week.

One final tip, Scor-Tape is a great adhesive to use with this die, and I've used it on other cards, but for these I used CTMH Bonding Memories adhesive.  You can get similar adhesives in your craft store.  It's the type with a foam applicator tip where you press down on it to release the blue liquid adhesive.  It was quick and easy and worked like a charm, you don't need a lot, and it dries quickly.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
