Challenge#45 Rules

1. Get creative with you dies! Make a 3D project with cutting dies. Sorry using TEMPLATES will not qualify! But you can use electronic die cutting machines :)

2. Anything goes...............a box, a frame, a bag, a house or even a castle! Get creative!
But remember the dies must form the base of your creation & not just used for layering or embellishing.We would love to see what you create.
If you have any queries please feel free to comment & we will be happy to help.

3. You have time until 31st January 2015, 11:55 PM IST to submit your projects.

Now  here is what I made.........a shadow box! Yes you can make your own one of a kind shadow box using any of your nesting/large shape dies! Walk through the following tutorial with me to learn how easy it is to make a shadow box!

Some more pics to show you the embellishments.....

The edge of the die cut is inked & buffed with Inka gold........the dangling flower & birdie are embellishments made from shrink plastic.

 

This is how you will make the box -

1.   First cut two shapes using the largest die in the Spellbinders Nestabilities - Gold Majesty Circles set (TIP - use a sturdy card stock so that it holds your embellishments! Remember you can use any die you have.

 

2. I cut the center out of one of the die cuts to make an opening....you can do this manually if you do not have a coordinating die or use a smaller nesting dies.

3. Finally, to assemble the box I glued the to shapes with a paper strip (1" wide) & viola I made my own shadow box in 1-2-3 steps!

Hope you like my take on this challenge..........what better way to make the best of our resources  & we would love to see what you create!
