Posts Tagged ‘Sizzix Box #2’

Hello Creative Friends,
Awhile back I shared a gable box by altering the Sizzix Box #2 Die for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine just a little.  Basically, I added a second lid/flap and adhered it to make both the front and back of the box match.  

Today I’m sharing another box done the same way.  Actually this was the first one that I did.  I just have had it set aside for awhile till it got closer to Christmas.  I used the Stampin’ Up! punches to turn this into a gingerbread house. 

Punches Used:
Scallop Circle Punch (Bushes)
1 Inch Circle (Roof)
Wide Oval (Door)
1/8 Handheld (Lights Across Roof-line)
1/8 Handheld & 1/2 Inch Circle (Wreath–Punch center out first with smaller punch)

The windows are 3/4 inch squares.  I sponged the edges of all the pieces with White Craft Ink and the little “lights” along the roof have Crystal Effects over top of them to give them a shinny look.  The details on everything are just drawn on with a white gel pen (uniball Signo).

You can see I decorated all the way around the box.  Below you can tell how I just wrapped the bushes on around the little house by overlapping them.  I used approximately 48 punch cut-outs for the roof.  It all depends though how much you overlap the rows and how close each row is.  I found that mine weren’t exact.  If you end up with roof ”shingles” hanging over the sides, just cut them off with scissors.

I used Jumbo Eyelets on each flap to put my ribbon through.    This  makes a great little box to hide a gingerbread treat inside.

Hello Creative Friends,
The other day I shared a box using the Sizzix,  Box #2 Die for the Big Shot (Die Cutting Machine) that I added an extra lid/flap to and pulled the lids up to a gable.  My circus tent box today is made the same way, only I added pieces to it to make it look like a tent.

It’s got  animal crackers in it of course!  They are in a cellophane bag.

A lot of you write for ideas for fall and harvest parties for kids so I thought a Circus Theme would be fun to add to the website.  Will get that up for you soon.

Enjoy your day,

Hello Creative Friends,
Okay, I’ve been altering the Sizzix dies for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine again.  This one is the Box #2 Die turned into a gable box.

I ran off an extra lid flap for the box and adhered it in the inside of the front with Sticky Strip.  This way I could pull up both lid flaps and turn it into a gable top.  This one is kept together with a library clip but I have more to show you down the road with other type of closures.

I made three 3 x 3 cards to fit inside using the Herb Expressions Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!  The base is made with Rich Razzledazzle Card Stock and the Designer Series Paper (Scrapbook paper) used is Razzleberry Lemonade.

Below is a view from the side for you.  I cut off the little side flaps just to get them out of the way.
