When using these embossing machines I had to add a layer of cardstock to add pressure to the sandwich to get a clean cut when using  the detailed dies in the  pack, there is not need to do this when using any other die in the pack,  the other dies will cut 2 layers of cardstock with no problem and  I  would rather prefer to use  the Cuttlebug or the Stampin' Up! Big Shot to cut paper in general  as they do not leave undesirable embossing  marks even when the embossing plates are worn. The Big Shot Plus sadly mark the paper and I really do't like the results.

These dies  cut and emboss creating beautiful details on the cardstcok ... Simple  beautiful

The  mini boxes in the picture measures    width : 2" -1/4 x Height  1" 1/2 (not including flaps)

I made 4 mini boxes from one 12" x 12" sheet of designer series paper and 48  from a pack of 12 sheets. 

SU Designer Paper  contains  2  sheets of  6 double-sided designs. Please watch the video here to see how they look. This paper coordinates with  the Stampin' Up! ink colours and accessories and guarantees that your paper craft projects will always look harmonious.

While the paper used to make these boxes is very important,  the start of this project is the  envelope punch board from Stampin' Up!  It is not only designed to make envelopes but also boxes in different sizes.  It is very easy to use and you will be amazed with the results in the small amount of time that it takes to  make a cute box.
