Hello it's boxes today. What you can see above is believe it or not a box die!. Well half a box. I was trailing through eBay when I came across some really cheap dies. Box dies from just £2.50. ok so they are from China and you have to wait up to a month but I had to try one. Well it arrived and it's incredibly solid with good embossing lines. You simply cut two pieces of card or paper with it and fold all the creases and stick together. I can't fault this die it does exactly what it is supposed to do and it cuts equally well into card and paper. I made two boxes. One with gold card and I cut some small pieces of Willson wood paper and then stuck them on and the other I actually cut some thick green card then cut the box again in Willson wood paper and stuck it exactly over the card using tacky glue so I could line it up. I could just use paper but I wanted my box to be sturdy. If your box has windows and you didn't want the. Just cover them over using a sentiment. A word of warning whilst these dies on eBay seam a bargain lots of them cost a few pounds but actually you usually buy a set for the price of a few of these cheaper dies so unless you only want one it's probably not that much of a bargain.
So despite having my lovely new Willson wood Collection that I have only just opened I saw a fab offer on something new plus a voucher ment I couldn't resist a new purchase so hopefully it will have arrived in time for next weeks paper craft blog. As always thanks for reading xxx
