I just got the Scallop Oval Frame bigz die the other day. It came with a large order I placed for Whisper White CS & envelopes, the stamp sets for my last preorder class, and among other things...MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT. And what was my birthday present, you ask. The Serif Essentials Alphabet bigz dies! They came lying down in their own box, and as soon as I opened the box, I thought, "If the dies fit in there laying down, there's no reason why they won't fit in there standing up, and then I can fit ALL my bigz dies in there." Of course I couldn't store my dies in some plain old box, so I cut the flaps off the top and altered it.
I used some retired DSP, which I can't think of the name of right now. I trimmed it to the height I needed it, but the box was longer than 12", so I used a different pattern on the ends. I used spray adhesive to stick the paper to the box. I used (also retired) Old Olive polytwill ribbon and the Alphabits stamp set to spell "bigz." And even though I used my SAMJ to position my letters from the Defining Alphabet before I embossed them, the were still off center, so I added an Old Olive felt fusion flower with a Tempting Turquoise brad in the center to help balance the oval.
Then I put my dies inside. :-D
Sweet wishes!
