Now that all of the deets are out of the way, let's get on with seeing what I created with this fun new template shall we? This little box was crated with it being able to hold and display photographs in mind but there are so many other uses also. What about a box to hold your finished A2 sized cards that you keep on hand or even recipe cards? It's be perfect for recipes since you can set the easel up to hold the recipe for you. I didn't make my little box for any of those uses, I had another use in mind. How many of you gals die cut/punch a shape/image for use on a card but then change your mind? What do you do with that die cut/punch, throw it away wasting it or do you save it? I tend to save mine, I throw them in a little basket and then never use them because there's no organization to my little basket of goodies, I might as well just had thrown them away in the first place...sigh. Well no more, look what I decided to do with my little easel top box....
closed box - tab on "easel" slips under the label keeping the lid secured
to make the "easel", lift the tab part only and slip it under the "bar" on the top of the box
the box comes with dividers so it's easy to find pictures, recipes, or even die cuts
Since I want to use my box to hold die cuts, I took it one step further and designed a little "envelope" to hold them. However, if you wanted, you could easily use a regular envelope.
Now I kept my box a little plain by using black & cream cardstocks since I'm using it for die cuts, but just think of the different things you could add to it...use pretty patterned papers, make little corner pieces, ribbons, flowers...ohhh my, the possibilities are endless!!
If you'd like the measurements / directions for my little envelopes just drop me an email and I'll get that to you. :) Do you remember the darling little dry embossing folder holder I made a while back? That's from Creations By AR also, I think I'm going to remake it in this color palette for a little matched set! Ready to see what my team mates have done with this versatile little box?

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea to store die cuts in your box Tina! love the bold black/white colors!
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice box to store all those left over or changed minds on die cuts. A great way to stay organized! Hugs
ReplyDeleteBlack and White always looks so elegant, love the idea of using it for die cuts.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of storing die cuts in the box. So creative. I like anything that organizes the craft room because with all the wonderful tools we have, it can become a search party every time you need something if things are organized. I just might have to steal your idea. I really love it.
ReplyDeleteWould of never thought of that. Awesome idea and storage tip.
ReplyDeletehermosa cajita, me gustaron mucho los 2 colores.....

ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea to use as a diecut file Tina!
ReplyDeleteThere are no limits to your creativity!! Great job Tina!
ReplyDeleteSuper great way to use this box file. Everyone needs a place for all those extra die cuts. Very classy color scheme. Would look good on any craft table.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for box. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, and I do have many of these 'changed my mind' items! I really like the simplicity of your color combination, too! Beautifully done, Tina!
ReplyDeleteAwesome project! I love the versatility of it from seeing what others have done with it on their blog. Very versatile. I thing I would use itto store my Zentangle pattern collection (but I would have to make several of them!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever use for this box. I'm so impressed! Thanks so much for an awesome project, Tina!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful storage idea. So clever, love it
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!! I love your idea for storing A2 cards as mine are kept in a bag so I would definitely use it for that but also it's just what I'm looking for as a gift for two beautiful young girls who recently lost their mum. Their mum (my friend) was a fabulous cook and this would be perfect for the project I have in mind which is using recipe cards. Thanks for the opportunity. x
ReplyDeleteNeat storage idea. Much more organized than I am
ReplyDeleteAlways looking for storage ideas for my crafting tools/dies. This is terrific!
