Making paper letter & name cubes for gifts

Good morning everyone, here's a quick look at a commission I recently took for a customer who wanted a present for her grandmother for her birthday. 

The blocks are free standing and made from various blue shades chosen from a variety of designer series paper series papers - namely Comfort Cafe, Floral District & Twitterpated. 

The letters were die cut using the Big Shot in contrasting Midnight Muse. The lettering is cut using the now retired Timeless Type alphabet dies but happily have which have now been replaced by the Typeset Alphabet Bigz dies which also includes 10 number dies as well. 


Here are the punches and the dies I used...
And the beautiful papers
