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
Thanks for making this tutorial, it was on my list to make but i never got the die set, this is perfect to use everywhere (partner, kids and my 'emphemera')
