I used my favourite 'daisy' die but the large circle centre and offset button give it a completely different look to the usual one.
It's a super quick all in one box that comes together so easily and then all you have to do is decorate it up and fill it. It measures 4" x 4" square when closed so it's the perfect size for making about 4 mini cards and envelopes and gift giving them.
Between the nestabilities (scalloped, label & plain square) and the sizzix dies (flower & leaves) the decoration came together super easy.
NOTE: My advice to anyone who doesn't have a die-cutting machine is to get a Sizzix Big Shot, even if you get it as a group or family and share it around. It is the one craft investment you won't regret and worth giving up all the others for! Have a yard sale, get rid of what you don't use, put the money raised towards a die-cut machine and you'll never look back - HONEST!
Sorry about that - I can't sing this machines praises enough!
This is the box opened up to reveal what's inside.
Instead of mini cards I decided to use some of the baord I have and make a mini 'coaster' style album. I purchased the corner rounder for chipboard (made by Zutter) while on holiday in Idaho at the start of this year and I hadn't really used it so that was my prompting.
I cut my squares to just under 4" so they would fit nicely and used scraps of designer paper from a range that I had hanging around.
These mini albums would make up in a snap and be great for sale at a church fair or something similar.
I added a verse I had to hand on the front page and decorated it up a bit but then left all other pages blank for the recipient to fill with photos.
Now it's my turn to jump into the shower so I can head off to church with my daughter and grandchildren this morning and then I think I'm gonna get a few photos of Maddy developed and try to do a page while I'm still in a 'craft mode'.
I am desperate to do some more crafting before the weekend is out!
