"Sizzix ScoreBoard Blog Hop #1- Box with Flap" Ann Butler

Thanks for stopping by the Sizzix Blog Hop! 
Just a little intro here... 
ScoreBoards are a brand new kind of die 
designed for Sizzix by my friend designer Eileen Hull.
ScoreBoards cut and score matboard
 to create boxes, totes and folders. 
As the ship date for the dies gets closer, 
Eileen realized that the best way to show them off 
was to ask some of her designer friends
to play with them and see what they could whip up. 
I was delighted to be included with this fabulous group of designers!
Just wait till you see what they have done!
Here is how it will work....

Every other Wednesday from now until January,
one of the eight ScoreBoard dies will be featured;
on our blogs so you can get a peek at the dies... 
Today's projects have all been created 
using the Box with Flap (item #656137).

This box can be used to hold a variety of items!


I created a little Halloween Box
to hold ATC's

Eileen sent these to us pre-cut on matboard,
as the dies are not yet in stores....
they are so quick and easy to decorate and put together...

What a wonderful idea she had
to create dies to use with matboard!

I used Earth Safe Finishes
Clear Gel Medium, White Opaque Shimmer
and mixed in some
Terra Cotta Colorant
to cover the matboard.
Then I added some shading along the edges
with Black Opaque Shimmer,
letters to spell out "BOO",
fibers and a picture to finish it off.

What are your ideas for this box?
Please leave a comment and let us know...
