Hey everyone!
It’ Michelle here today and I am so excited for my first day on the blog with all of you. I have a video today on how to create boxes for card sets.
As cardmakers we tend to make lots of sets to give as gifts, I find that if I add a pop dot or two to them they are too bulky to fit in the clear plastic boxes that you can buy. I get frustrated having to use 2 boxes for 10 cards and envelopes. Every tutorial I found had mega amounts of math. I am all about simplification. I would rather stamp than do the math. 🙂 So I sat at my desk for hours on Saturday and finally figured out a super simple formula. I hope you enjoy.
Here is the video, please be kind…it’s my first time doing a video, I was really nervous 😉
Here is the image of the boxes in the video:
I also created a PDF for you use if you want to create your own box. In the PDF it shows you how to make the window on the box for a variation. You can download/print the PDF here:Card Box Tutorial ***edited to add…I have posted the tutorial on my personal blog. You can right click or print to save until I can get the kinks out of the PDF. I am sorry for any inconvenience.
You still have time to enter Challenge #3, Topsy Turvey–Use a sentiment as something other than a sentiment. It closes on May 12. You could win a gift certificate from the fabulous Simon Says Stamp!
I hope you all have a phenomenal day! 🙂
