TGIF!  The week is done and it’s time to craft to your heart’s content.  I am so excited to show you this week’s project as it features one of my favorite tools the ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD.  Not only is it under $25 it will make 66 different sizes of envelopes, has a corner rounder in it and a scoring tool (that could be used as a bone folder) AND it can make cute boxes like this one.

Enjoy the show my pretties.

To make this Project:

Supplies:

• One 6 by 6 inch piece of card stock
• DSP:  1 piece of 2 by 1 1/2  inch designer series paper for the top.
• DSP: 2 pieces of 1 1/4 by 2 inch designer series paper for the front and back.
• DSP: 2 pieces of 1 1/4 by 1 3/8 inch designer series paper for the sides.

Punch and Score:

Punch and score at the 1 1/2 and the 4 inch mark.  Turn paper counter clock wise and use the scoring nob thing to line up and then punch and score again…do this 2 more times.

Ok, so I admit, sometimes I get really distressed at all the things sitting on my desk.  Yes, all these things are needed but really, can’t they be pretty?  I enjoy taking the every day mundane things and making them look stunning.  This project is an example of that.  It was inspired by the mini glue dot box that one gets from Stampin’ Up!  There is nothing wrong with the box other than it’s not pretty and I can see from my living room all the un-pretty things on my desk.

Don’t you just love the little Lotus Flower?

Hi, it’s video Friday and I have a wonderful project for you today but before I get into that I wanted to share with you a little bit of Stampin’ Up! excitement.  The new 2015 catalog is now released for distribution and I have a few being shipped to me.  I am only giving an advanced copy to those people who purchase from me this month.  June 1 I will be adding a PDF file to this site so you can download it for free there.

Now get ready for some craftiness.  This hexagon box was a bit more difficult than I had intentionally planned it to be but in the end it turned out really cute.  As I said in the video, I did have a few takes of this project and ended up having to swap out part of the project for steps that I had did off camera.  I really want my tutorials to be somewhat quick.  For the first 3 people who comment (nicely) I will send a hexagon box.  Free of charge!  Gotta love freebie’s!

Enjoy the show….

Hello and thanks for stopping by on video Friday.  I’m working really hard on making these video tutorials informative and easy to follow.  I am not a natural at these recordings, however I am trying to make them more entertaining as I go.  I hope you’ll be patient with me.  It’s not easy!  This was one of the first “paper crafting projects” I ever created and now have numerous ones around my desk and I’ve made some of my crafty friends (you know who you are 😉 ).  It’s really simple, it’s extremely useful and it will make your craft room a little more organized.  I like quick projects like this.  Feel free to comment, you know I love it.  🙂

Well, it’s video Friday isn’t it?  I sure hope I will get the hang of video taping myself.  The purpose of these videos is to demonstrate the versatility of paper and how it could be a wonderful addition to your card making.  I love building the projects and just adore decorating them. I do hope you try to make some of the projects I showcase and just because you may not have all of the tools doesn’t mean you can’t make them.  The scoring tool for instance is just to make things easier however, it you have a ruler and something dull like a bone folder or a cheese knife you can do it too. As I mention in the video that the build or the “recipe” is the same for all sizes of the boxes I show you.  However, what I didn’t say was their dimensions.  They are added at the bottom of this post.  Enjoy the video.
