No die Letter rack,

 Hi again, 


I'd like to share a no die letter rack which is just like the oxford file box one, because I know just how hard locating the Oxford die set can be, 


we shall be making this, 



Our first task is to take 3 sheets of A4 card. I've used 300gsm because its strong,

Cut them to these sizes 

5 inches x 8 inches, 8 inches x 8 inches and 11 inches x 8 inches

and scoring them as follows

the 5x8 piece 

score at 2 inches, and 3 inches




the 8x8 piece

score at 3.5 inches and 4.5 inches




the 11x8 piece

score at 5 inches and 6 inches


then score all 3 pieces 

along the 8 inch edge at 1 inch and 7 inches


 cut the sides to separate the 3 fold lines, tapering the middle tab on both sides and then fold along the score lines 




Make up the 3 boxes and set them in ascending order


then glue the boxes together like below 



this will leave you with the basic shaped Letter rack


It's just like the Oxford one without the decorative edges.
If you have a different edging die you can always add them to the tops of each area of the box or you can decorate up your plain box and make it sparkle

the layering mats for the Letter rack are 
1 3/4 inch x 5 3/4 inch
3 1/4 inch x 5 3/4 inch
4 3/4 inch x 5 3/4 inch
and add a pretty bow to finish it off 


Heres one I added a different decorative edge onto, this is using the Tonic showcase die set this month called Decadent swirls, such a pretty edge design

Thank you for reading this and i hope to add more tutorials and pretty projects soon
