Ok, I finally finished the notecard holder tutorial! Thanks everyone for being so patient! I made this notecard holder just for the sake of this tutorial and to show the measurements, so it isn’t the fanciest.
Step 1: Cut & Score the following pieces of cardstock:
7 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ - score 1 1/2″ in on 3 of 4 sides
7 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ - score 1″ in on the 6 1/2″ side and 1 1/2″ in on one 7 1/2″ side
8 9/16″ x 5 9/16″ - score 2″ in on every side (this is the lid)
Step 2: Create the flaps by cutting like this.
Step 3: Before you assemble, adhere your decorative piece of patterned paper to the front and back if you wish. The DS paper should measure 4 1/4″ x 5 3/4″.
Step 4: Apply adhesive to the box and assemble.
There aren’t too many steps to this project once your do all of the cutting and scoring! I hope you all have fun with this one!
Hello! Thanks for your comments on my notecard holders! I’m working on the directions for a future post. I’ll get them out as soon as I can get it done. I didn’t have a template when I made them. I measured the score lines and cut as I went along and didn’t write any of it down so I’ll have to go over it again to refresh my memory!
For today’s post, I have an altered pencil holder that I bought last year at Target. The pencil holder is just made of heavy black chipboard. I’ve had this pencil holder on my desk since I bought it last year and finally got inspired to decorate it. The paper I used is from Crate Paper. I simply cut out squares, or shall I say rectangles, and glued them on. I know it’s really simple, but I thought the design of the paper went really well with container. I like my pencil holder so much more now that it’s finally decorated!
Last weekend I went to my friend, Julie’s, bachelorette party in Vegas! She wasn’t supposed to know where the destination of her bachelorette party was, so I decided to make this sign to reveal it when she came out to the car! I decorated my friend’s car (who was driving) with the sign and some tulle. Well, it turns out someone leaked the destination to her early so going to Vegas wasn’t a surprise, but Julie enjoyed my sign anyways!
I made the sign with a bunch of supplies from the dollar store, including the posterboard, garter, and ribbon. The letters were made with my Cricut machine. This was the first time I used my Cricut for such a project and it made it so easy! I made the bra with my Uchida circle scallop punches and the panties from a template I traced. Then I added ribbon and rhinestones to for some flair, although you can’t see it from this photo.
The dice were my favorite part! I made them with a variation of the “2-4-6-8″ box template. Each dice is 3″x3″ and the dots are punch from my 1/2″ circle punch.
The entire weekend was a lot of fun and my sign started it off with great energy!
I made this card for my grandma for her 90th birthday. I used the Bali Breeze DS paper and One of a Kind stamp set. I really love the bright color combo on this card. The sentiment is from the retired “Warmest Regards” hostess set. That stamp is one of my all time favorite sentiment sets. I always find myself reaching for it whenever I have to make a card for an occasion.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
