Hello Friends Welcome to my first day of being a full time Stampin'Up! demo! I'm sure I will keep you busy with lots of inspiration for stamping well that is my goal! Let's start ou
What is passata? Often referred to as tomato purée, passata is puréed and strained tomatoes. It adds a punch of flavor to sauces and more!
Whenever I leave my kids at home while I go out of town...I like to leave them with a little incentive to make sure the house doesn't fall apart! Last time it was this fun idea! But I decided to change it up a little this time around by making a prize punch board!
Today I'm sharing FIVE amazing ways to use the new Envelope Punch Board from Stampin' Up! (Item #133774). Once you see these, you'll NEED...
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!
Here's another tutorial for one of my March Stamps in the Mail Club projects. Did you see my Pop-Up Box Card tutorial last week? Just like that project, this one uses elements from the Happenings Simply Created Card Kit (133329) and elements from my March Stamps in the Mail Club…

We are always working on improving our behavior, because, well toddlers live in this house lol I made these punching cards and they are working so well that I wanted to share them with you as a free printable. I am very cautious with incentives. Food is never used as a reward to encourage behavior because I don't want to enable an unhealthy relationship with food. Also I don't want to initiate a token economy where my kids are only doing behaviors (or not doing) for a reward/punishment. Anyone can be trained to say something, but does that change their heart? Usually not. According to the Bible, our behavior is an outpouring of our heart, so we have A LOT of conversations in our home to ensure our kids learn right from wrong and develop internal motivation. In the past we have used colored Popsicle sticks and a ticket jar to help us with character & behavior training. Both have worked well, but I wanted to try out something new. No matter how we are training our children, we know that they are very visual, so they need to be able to see their progress. I printed these behavior cards in color on cardstock paper so that they would hold-up with the punching. Every time one of my kids uses their manners, is kind, shares, listens well, cleans up without being asked, is respectful and obedient, and has a generous spirit and demonstrates a servants heart, they get to punch their card. They usually like to pick the color that they want, and then punch the hole. Dutch can punch his card by himself, but Ellis needs help or she tells Dutch what color she wants and he helps her. I get the kids to punch their own cards, because I want them to know that this is all about THEIR behavior and they need to take responsibility for their own actions. When their card is completed, they earn special activities (i.e. a field trip, go feed the ducks, they get to pick the book before bed, etc.) This is all about positive reinforcement. If they are disrespectful or do not use their manners, nothing happens to the card, they just don't get to punch it. Since they are working towards completing their card, poor behavior sets them back from their goal. Withholding a hole punch is a really big deal to them. This has been working really well in our home lately so I thought I would share it with you (free printable).

We began learning about arrays in math today! Arrays are a foreign concept for us, they were added to our math curriculum this year due to switching over to the CCSS. For my very first lesson ever teaching arrays, I thought it went great! Here's how our lesson went down. 1. We started off with a great Brain Pop Jr. Video to gain some knowledge of what exactly an array is and what it is used for. (Gotta love Moby and Annie!) 2. Then we made a colorful anchor chart to put on our math wall which will help us remember arrays for the rest of the week. 3. Next, we had some guided practice using white boards and pattern blocks under the Elmo. They had to make an addition equation but they figured out pretty quickly how to make multiplication equations, so I let them do both. They thought they were so cool because they could understand multiplication. 4. Lastly, we had some independent practice using an Array Match-Up center from my End-Of-Year Extravaganza Math pack. My kiddos did great for our first day with arrays and I had very few who completed their independent work incorrectly. The ones who did, only made very minor mistakes, overall I was very impressed with today's math lesson! Hope you find these ideas helpful!
