Christmas Crackers are such an integral part of a British Christmas. I know when I lived in Houston, Texas I couldn't find them anywhere! They are so easy to make and although they won't pop, at least you can decide what to put in them to suit whoever they are for. You can also co-ordinate your Christmas table with colours to match your scheme - and gift favour bags to match - but that's another video for another day. Here are a few samples using the Presents and Pinecones Designer Series Paper. Some of our papers are on special offer at the moment, buy 3 get 1 free and this set was part of the offer. The Scroll and the Ho Ho Ho sentiment comes from Greetings From Santa set. The Cracker below is the one I chose to do in the YouTube video. This one uses the Heres to Cheers stamp set and the Merry Tag Framelits. Dazzling Diamonds were added to the bauble for a touch of glitter. Some Candy Cane Baker's Twine and Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine completes the cracker. Here are the sizes DSP - 6.5" x 10" (16.5 cm x 25 cm) On the LONG side score at 1" (2.5cm) either side On the SHORT Side score at 1" (2.5cm), 2" (5 cm) 3" (7.5) 4"(10cm), 5" (12.5 cm) and 6" (15 cm) Burnish the folds and using the EPB punch at 2" (5cm) on both sides all the way down the paper. Now score at both ends at 1.5" (3.5cm) 2" (5cm) and 2.5" (6 cm) - this is actually just before the punch, in the middle and just after. I hope you enjoy making these crackers.

Hei and welcome to my crafty blog! Today I want to show you how you can make a library pocket and a coordinating coin envelope! I made both envelope and pocket with the envelope boarder punch by We R Memory Keepers. Step 1: Take a 6x6 patterned paper Step 2: Line the paper up at 2 5/8 inches, punch and score Step 3: Turn the paper, line the paper up at the first score line, punch and score. Step 4: Repeat step 3 two times. Step 5: Paper must look like this. Step 6: Take a triangular ruler and score the two flaps at the upper and bottom side of your envelope. Step 7: Fold the other two flaps inside, score at the line where the two flaps come together. Fold one flap inside. Adhere the flap. Step 8: Fold the upper and bottom flap inside, adhere the bottom flap and mark the coin envelope with a pen where the fastener will be attached. Step 9: Punch out two small circles. Step 10: Make holes in these circles. Step 11: Attach the two circles with some cute brads. Step 12: Close coin envelope with some bakers twine. Step 1: Take a 3,5x8 inch cardstock or patterned paper. Step 2: Punch paper at 3 5/8 inch. Flip the paper and punch a second time at 3 5/8 inch. Step 3: Fold the paper. Step 4: Score line. Step 5: Punch at the scored line. Step 6: Punch at the other side too. Step 7: The paper must look like this. Step 8: Take your favorite scissors and cut 2 triangles out of the flap. Step 9: Use your ruler and craft knife to cut out a flap on the bottom side of the paper. Step 10: Turn the paper up side down and use your ruler and craft knife again to cut out the second flap of the upper side of the paper. Step 11: Paper looks like this. Step 12: Fold the paper and adhere the flap. Step 13: Score the line at the bottom side of the pocket. Step 14: Adhere the bottom flap to the pocket. Step 15: Your library pocket looks like this.

Have fun with your crafting and see you next time! Thanks for stopping by! You can see my beautiful spring project with coin envelopes and library pockets over at the Pebbles Blog today!

That title was cheesy, I know.(wink wink) But I made my daughter a little camera album for Christmas to recap the year...and she loved it! I used my envelope punch board to cut the camera shape out of cardstock as well the pictures. I used my circle framelits to cut the silver glimmer paper lens rings and the acetate lens itself. Everything is Stampin' Up! Pretty easy, really! Thanks for taking a look!

Today's project is a pinwheel box created with the Envelope Punch Board!

Happy Sunday, y’all! Are you doing something fun today? I have cards to make – an OnStage presentation to practice – and…lunch with a new friend! Looking forward to meeti…

Check out this little treat box!! And notice the adorable little bats I punched out too! This box measures 1 1/4" x 5" as shown here when it is all closed up. I made a little belly band to go around it & decorated it with a moon & some bats. I got 2 of the fun sized Snickers Bars shown above in the photo, inside the box. Or I think you can fit one full sized Snickers Bar in it instead of the 2 littler ones. Here are the supplies that I used- stamp set: 'Sweet Hauntings' card stock: Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla, Basic Black designer paper: Happy Hauntings ink: Archival Basic Black other: 1 1/2" Circle Punch, Bitty Butterfly Punch, Elegant Butterfly Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Paper Snips, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Envelope Punch Board +++++ How did I make the box? I used the Envelope Punch Board. 6x6 piece of designer paper Using the Envelope punch board, line up the left edge of the paper at 1 1/4″ and punch and score down the diagonal line to the right. Move the paper to the left and line it up at 2 3/4″, punch and score the same as before. Turn the paper the opposite side and repeat exactly what you just did. Now turn the paper to the sides you haven’t done anything with yet. Line up your previous score lines with the “Score Guide.” It’s the pointy piece coming off the punch in the top center. Punch and score. Move to second score line, punch and score again. Repeat again on the opposite side. Look at the photo below- I have drawn over the score lines so that you can see what the box is to look like. You do not have to draw the lines.....yours will just be scored. You will snip in on the first 2 lines on each end to make the flaps. You can use the corner rounder on the top side of the Envelope Punch Board on your corners if you want to. Now fold up your little box! I used the new Tear & Tape Adhesive & Glue Dots to stick my box together. How did I make the bats? Here are the punches that I used- I punched out 2 of Bitty Butterfly. I punched out 1 of the Elegant Butterfly. Then using the 3/4" & the 1" Circle Punches I snipped off both of the bottom corners on the butterflies to make them look like a bat! +++++ I burnt the midnight oil stamping last night. And the guys were up until the wee hours this morning again working in the shop. Deke is off early to chore & he has a meeting this morning. I'm off to pick up the boys & spend my day with them. Tonight we'll be going to Brayden's flag football game to watch him. I have lots of stamping to do when I get home tonight & will be burning the midnight oil again. I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday! Happy Stamping! Hugs- SUSIE

Do you make lumpy bumpy (technical term) cards that won't fit in a regular envelope? Do you have the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board? If the answer to both of those questions is "yes" then read on. By slightly adapting how I use my WRMK envelope punch board I can now make boxes that fit my lumpy bumpy cards. To do that I extended the ruler on the punch board so that it looks like this: Preparing your punch board I've created a ruler for you to print out that you'll attach to your punch board. Download one of the following files to your computer: If your printer uses A4 size paper Ruler for A4.jpg If your printer uses Letter size paper Ruler for letter size.jpg Open Microsoft Paint and locate and open the file you just downloaded. Click on the tab to the left of the Home tab Hover over the Print Menu, then select Page setup At the next screen make the following adjustments to the Paper Size and Scaling options. A4 size printers Letter size printers Press OK. (Paint should revert back to its original Scaling settings when you exit the program.) Print the file. You now need to trim the ruler and attach it to your punch board. Trim the right hand side to just after the 1/8" mark. That way it won't cover the 5" mark on the punch board To give it some strength I adhered my ruler to some clear acrylic from an old Cricut cartridge clam shell. (You could also just print the ruler out on thick cardstock.) I cut the acrylic about twice the length of the paper ruler. Here's what it looks like before I attach it to the punch board. I used double sided tape to stick the ruler to the acrylic. Next you need to tape the ruler to the punch board. It's important to line the 1/8" mark on the paper ruler up with the last 1/8" mark (just to the left of the 5" mark) on the punch board, otherwise your measurements will be out. You also need to make sure you attach the ruler straight. I used regular old sticky tape to attach it to the punch board. So now your punch board is ready to start making card boxes! I generally make my cards 6" x 6". But two other common sizes you might use are 4" x 6" and A2. In Australia it's also common to make cards from half an A4 sheet of cardstock. Those cards end up being approximately the same size as a 4" x 6", so I have used the same size boxes for both of those. Making your card box The next thing you need to do is cut and score the cardstock you're going to use for the card box. I've found this a great way to use up all that printed cardstock that I know I'll never use on a card. The thicker cardstock works best as the thin printed paper tends to tear when you're scoring it. I have created three templates you can print out to use as a scoring guide. Click the picture to enlarge, then right click and save it to your computer. Or you can download a PDF of these templates from here: https://app.box.com/s/3y7eilysov1645m1gpjz Template for 4" x 6" and 10cm x 15cm card box Template for A2 card box Template for 6" x 6" card box Let's start by making a 6" x 6" box. Following the template I know that I need to cut my cardstock to 10 1/2" x 10 1/2". (Because this is a square card all the sides will be scored the same, so it doesn't matter which side you start with.) Place one edge of the cardstock on the punch board at the 5" line and score. You won't be able to score right to the edge of the cardstock but that's fine! Move the cardstock over to the 5 & 3/4" line and score again. Unlike when you make an envelope with the punch board we do not punch these score lines. Score the next three sides of the cardstock using the same measurements. (5" and 5 3/4"). (I've marked the score lines with pencil so you can see them.) Turn the punch board around and punch the four corners. (If you don't want rounded corners on the box you can skip this step.) Use your bone folder to crease along each of the scored lines Decided which side you want to be the top of the box. (Again, as this is a square box it makes no difference, unless there's something on the cardstock that you want to make a feature.) Following the cut lines on the template use your scissors to cut along the two horizontal lines at the bottom of the box, and cut out the two triangular pieces at the top of the box. I've marked the cut lines in pink below... Fold in and glue the two bottom flaps that you have just made. (You can cut these out the same way as the top triangles if you wish. I think this way just gives the bottom of the box a bit more support.) Place some doubled sided tape along the two sides of the bottom flap. Now, to put the box together fold in the sides then fold up and adhere the bottom flap. I used a piece of craft foam that is about the same depth as the box to help me line up the edges. I then used a removable sticky dot to seal the envelope. This will give you a card box with about 1/2" depth. Hopefully enough for even the lumpiest and bumpiest card! The other two card boxes are put together in the same way. Use the template as a guide and remember that the measurements on the long sides are different to the measurements on the short sides. Please note... I don't use these card boxes if I'm posting the card unless I am enclosing it inside a parcel. I hope you have found this tutorial useful and here's hoping you get a lot more use out of your envelope punch board!

Ich habe mich lange nicht an das Envelope Punch Board getraut und ich weiß gar nicht warum. Es ist so einfach zu bedienen und neben Umschlägen kann man auch zahlreiche tolle Verpackungen basteln, aber auch fürs Kartenbasteln kann man dieses Stanz- und Falzbrett her nehmen. Eine tolle Sache ist nämlich das Wellen-Stanzen mit dem Brett. Diese habe ich auch auf meinem letzten Workshop ‚Vielseitiges Envelope Punch Board‘ gezeigt und heute zeige ich sie Euch im Stempel-ABC. Dazu legst Du einen längeren Streifen bzw. ein längeres Stück Papier in das Punchboard erstmal bei 1″ und stanzt dort. Dann kommt es darauf an, welche Welle Du haben willst. Willst Du z.B. die 1″ Welle, dann legst Du den Streifen weiter bei 2″ an und stanzt, bei 3″, 4″ und so weiter. Bei 1″ ist die Welle recht weich und kurvig. Stanzt Du alle 1/4″ , 1/2″, 3/4″ oder alle 1cm, dann ist die Welle zackiger. Es kommt als ganz auf Deinen Anlass an. Mir persönlich gefälllt die 1″-Welle sehr gut. Ich habe drei verschiedenfarbige Streifen gestanzt und diese ein wenig breiter als meine Karte gelassen. Die drei InColor-Streifen habe ich nun versetzt übereinander und anschließend auf die Kartenfront geklebt. Nun schneide die überhängenden Streifen einfach ab und ich erhalten einen interessanten gewellten Hintergrund. So sieht dann das Endergebnis aus, mit ein paar gestanzten Zweigen und einem kugelrunden Motiv mit Spruch aus dem Set ‚Wie zu Hause‘. Das Körbchen habe ich passenden zu meinen Streifen einfach mit Stampin Markern ausgemalt. Die zackigeren Wellen könnte ich mir gut für maritime Karten oder bei Karten für die Taufe.

Hallo ihr Lieben Zuersteinmal vielen lieben Dank für die ganzen Mails zu meinem gestrigen Post. Die Idee dazu habe ich mir auf diversen Seiten zusammengetragen. Anstatt Tapeten zu kleben habe ich mal für euch die gewünschte Anleitung geschrieben. Also los geht es: Designerpapier in der Größe 8x6 1/2 Inch (20,3 cm x 16,5 cm) Das wir jetzt gefalzt mit der 6 1/2 Seite oben bei 1 1/2 - 3- 4 1/2- 6 Inch oder 3,8 - 7,6 - 11,4 - 15,2 cm Nun fangt ihr an und faltet den schmalen Streifen um und legt ihn ins Punch Board. Schiebt es bis zur 2 und stanzt dann einmal. Wenn ihr das Papier rausnimmt , schaut es so aus. Jetzt weiter falten und wieder bei 2 anlegen und stanzen. Das macht ihr jetzt bei jeder Querfaltung. Das sollte dann so aussehen. Das macht ihr auch mit der anderen Seite Aufgeklappt schaut das ganze jetzt so aus Jetzt muss das ganze wieder gefalzt werden. Diesmal aber an der 8 Inch bzw. 20.3 cm Seite. Falzen bei 1 1/2- 2 - 2 1/2 und 5 1/2 - 6 - 6 1/2 Inch oder 3,2 - 5,1 - 6,3 und 14 - 15,2 - 16,5 cm Das sollte von nahem dann so aussehen. Jetzt könnt ihr die kleinen Stege auf dem schmalen gefalzten wegschneiden. Wenn ihr das getan habt beginnt mit dem falzen. 2 x Talfalze und 1 x Bergfalz. Nochmal aus der Nähe Dort wo die Pfeile sind klebt ihr jetzt doppelseitiges Klebeband auf. Auf der schmalen Lasche. In Pfeilrichtung umfalzen und das andere Ende draufkleben. So sollte es jetzt ausschauen. In Form drücken. So sieht man schon wo das Schleifenband hinkommt. Band drumherum binden aber nicht zu stramm. Seht ihr das ? Die Kanten innendrin stoßen aufeinander. Es bleibt ein kleines GuckLoch. Jetzt befüllen. Schleife auf beiden Seiten binden. Bisschen Deko und................ FERTIG !!!!!!!!! Ihr habt es geschafft, euer Knallbonbon ist verschenkefertig. Ich hoffe mein Workshop ist für euch verständlich , bei Fragen wie immer eine Mail an [email protected] Liebe Grüße
