Sizzix Box #2 Bigz XL Die
For The Big Shot

If you have a Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, you know that your dies are an investment and you want to use them in as many ways that you can in order to get a lot of use out of them. As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I want to help you with that so on this page you will find some various ways to use the..

Box #2 Bigz XL Die

Sizzix Big Shot
Item #114518


Box #2 Bigz XL Die
Box #2 "Blocks"

This project takes four Box #2's. They are put together normally but I added a piece of card stock to fit the bottom of the box so all sides would be smooth.

You could spell out anything in this manner.

Box #2 Bigz XL Die
Box #2 Circus Box

This project takes one Box #2 , plus one extra "lid/flap" from the die. Adhere second lid-flap to front of box (adhering on the top inside edge), bring both lids up to a gable. On this one I decorated it as a circus tent and added jumbo clips to pull ribbon through to close.

Box #2 Bigz XL Die
Box #2 Gable Roof

This project takes one Box #2 , plus one extra "lid/flap" from the die. When running through the 2nd lid/flap from the die, just make your cardstock a little longer than the flap (approx. 1/4 inch). On that extra 1/4 inch edge of cardstock, place Sticky Strip and adhere to the front top inside edge of the box to make the front match the back. The lids will then pull up into a gable top.

Box #2 Bigz XL Die
Box #2 Tote (2 Section)

This project takes two Box #2 Totes, leaving the flaps on and straight up. I punched a hole in mine. Put together back to back with sticky strip and decorate. Holds goodies for a great gift.

Box #2 Bigz XL Die
Box #2 Business Card/Treat Holder

Just leave the flap up on the Box #2 die, punch out a scoop in the front and decorate. I used the Wide Oval Punch on this. Easily fits business cards or a cello bag of goodies.

Box #2 Bigz XL Die
Box #2 "Purses"

For this project I added a little extra to the flap where it creases and put it on the outside of the box. I then embellished, added handles, and decorated the box to make it look like a purse.

Box #2 Bigz XL Die
Box #2 Stamped

This is basically the regular box made as the die was intended. I stamped on the box directly. These boxes are a great size.
