My sister and her husband will be married 50 years this coming Friday. We are having a family dinner for them - they didn't want a big celebration, so it's just family (I think about 36!!) I wanted something special to give to each person who is coming, so I made these Curvy Keepsake 50th Anniversary Favor Boxes!! They were fun and easy to make! Just a lot of Big Shot cutting, but that's okay! LOVE MY BIG SHOT!
Backside
A whole table full
I filled them with Rolo candies (gold covered)
I was amazed how quickly these went together.
TIP: When you cut your card stock for the Curvy Keepsake Box, I recommend 8 1/2" x 11" paper cut to 8 1/2" x 6". Be sure put the thinlit the way I show you in the picture - I speak from experience. I laid it the wrong way and warped my thinlit. I will have to see if I can press it under something to "warp it back". Or maybe just order a new one. Actually it works fine, but here's how to lay it out
First the sandwich for the big shot using the Thinlits dies (bottom to top)
Magnetic Platform
Acrylic Pad
Paper
Thinlit with cutting side down
Acrylic Pad
First Cut
Second Cut
So just be sure and don't turn the thinlit so the "pointy" edge is on the side - that will warp it!! It's just a bit too big to go through the Big Shot!!
