hi i'm Michelle, I am 39 years old. I'm married to matt, with 2 children. William 13 yrs old and Isobel aged 7. I started making cards in 2010 as a way to relax after suffering with postnatal depression. Unfortunately with working life and having our second child, Isobel. who has additional needs, my crafting got pushed to one side. Having recently renovated our new house I've been able to have my own crafty space again. I'm loving unboxing all my old supplies, and buying new of course. Its mainly card making I'm enjoying, but also had a little dabble in crochet and sewing over lockdown. I've decided to keep using my blog as a place to record all my makes, if only for myself. it was a real trip down memory lane when I found this again after 8 years!!! Of course id love to share my makes with others and learn from you all along the way.

my new grand calibur - box template


ive recently bought the grand calibur and love it! Today ive had a grand template petal box so had a little play with it.

 
You can just make a simple box, or use these fancy dies (included) to make patterns in the box directly or can cut them separately to be stuck on afterwards. i sellotaped them in place so they didnt move.

i then used my ultimate to score the lines.


You could line the box with contrasting card to show off the detail better.

 ive added ribbon to finish the box's. they also come with matching tag die cuts too.
