MSL Blues Challenge

Have I mentioned that I purchased a Sizzix Big Shot Pro and several dies as a Christmas present to myself? I love making containers. I sell many of them and give quite a few as gifts. I think it's the decorating that I love. This matchbox die makes a box big enough to be useful. The finished box size is 3-5/8'' x 5-1/4'' x 1-1/8'' and that's a pretty substantial box. It's very easy to assemble after being cut and the die will cut heavy cardstock so the box is very sturdy. I used the measurements to cut the design paper to decorate the matchbox and added a brad for a drawer pull.

This box will hold a good-sized gift: a nice scarf, jewelry, gift cards, candy, a small digital camera or cell phone.

This is one of the new Maggies from the winter 2011 'So Special' collection. They aren't on any websites I've seen so far so I can't tell you the name, but the entire collection was centered around birthdays and Cindy will have them on her site soon.

This is the box closed.
