Big Shot Envelope Die Box

 An early little holiday gift for you guys!  How about a visual step-by-step on how to make one of these boxes?

The only thing I left out is that if you are cutting more than one envelope at a time, you really need a crease pad!  It is a sponge pad that goes in front (well, behind the paper) of the cutter, and then is covered by the acrylic board.  So, the ‘sandwich’ goes:  die>papers>crease pad>acrylic board, and then run through.  There isn’t room for the 2nd acrylic board.

I have to photograph the holiday one I just made… look for it tomorrow!  Enjoy!

    Pretty box! You use the crease pad different than I do. I put the acrylic on the bottom, then the die, paper and finally the crease pad on top. Depending on the paper, I might use a shim under the die.

    I was afraid that the crease pad wouldn’t protect the roller from the blade… I probably am doing it wrong, LOL! I’m like a kid with that thing!

    Very cute Amy! I made one of these yesterday with your pattern and turned it into an ornament holder you can check out on my blog. The pattern for the insert and cover is:

    Cut CS to 5-3/4 x 5-3/4, then score at 1-1/4 all the way around. You’ll need to trim like a regular box pattern up to the score line and adhere the tabs to form the box. For the transparency sheet top, the measurement is 7-3/4 x 7-3/4, score at 2-1/4 all the way around. This time, you will be cutting out the four corners, so you will be left with four panels. I definitely recommend sticky strip for this project. Just wanted to share in case you wanted to use it for gifts of your own :o) See you in Orlando!
