To get started we need to get that box opened up flat. Using a letter opener or a scissor, along the boxes folded tab that closes the box, gently pry it open so it lays flat. You may tear up the tab a bit. None of it will show when you are done.
Place half of box into your folder, with folder right side up. THIS IS THE SIDE THAT IS LABELED. I do show below the right and wrong side images of the folders we had in April 2018. Products change, same idea.
- Run half box and folder through your Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.
- Place folder on other half, folder right side up and run through the machine.
- Using tear and tape, reassemble your box.
- Decorate box to finish it or use plain.
It really is a simple process. I do have to admit my first time, I was a little nervous to do it.
I also show you what each embossing folder looks like right side up and other (wrong) side up. Sometimes the opposite side looks just as pretty, if not prettier.
I hope you find this information very useful and are going to try this with your boxes. Please be sure to share this video with friends.
