January punch box samples - how to

Image
If you ordered these already - lucky you because they are so popular they have gone out of stock, we are expecting them back in March however. For those who purchased the bundle from me here is the tutorial that goes with the box! This card is made by folding a card base in daffodil yellow cardstock. Make a back ground by cutting some of the Gingham Gala paper slightly narrower than the cardstock and then carefully tear along the bottom so there is room to stamp the sentiment from the stamp set. Before you glue the gingham paper to the card base tie some of the organza ribbon around the bottom - tip - put a small glue dot at the back to keep it in place.

Welcome to anyone who has not visited my blog before, I have a fairly new blog, have not participated in the blog hop before and so its especially great to see you!

Introducing January's Punch Bundle Box

Image
I am nervous to introduce to you my new January punch box - in a video !!!!! Each month I introduce a punch project Box and a big shot project Box with a selected bundle. So if you purchase the bundle from me you get some free goodies to make some cards - I call it make and take in a box. If you would like more details then see my Blog page that details all of the make and take boxes that are available. I will, during January feature how to make the projects and more using the bundle, so you get the best possible use of the purchase. So without further ado - here is the video - which I will also place on my Make and Take in a Box pages. Let me know what you think!!! Jop x
