Lovin' this purse!

I am loving this new purse! 

Here are just a few more ...

It is so easy to make! All you need is the Envelope Punch Board, paper (12" x 12" and 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"), the Word Window punch, scissors, adhesive, ribbon, and buttons.

Directions:

• On sides 1 and 3 of your paper, punch and score at 1 1/2" - go easy as you score down because the paper will go over the punch board; you will match up another score line later so there will be a full line from one side to the other
• On sides 2 and 4 of your paper, punch and score at 5"
• Turn your paper over and with the first punch at 1 1/2" to your left, repeat the steps above
• Turn your paper over - with large tab to your right, line up the punch at 2 5/8" then punch and score
• Do the same thing on the opposite side of the paper
• Look at your score lines and make sure there is a score line between all punches - if not, add the needed score lines
• Round all tabs
• Fold on all score lines
• Cut on lines on either side of the large tabs
• On the second score line from the large tabs (must be done on both sides), use the Word Window punch and punch out space so you can fit a large tab through (see picture) - if you do not have the Word Window punch, you can cut this space out with a pair of scissors

• Fold the small tabs towards the outside and affix with adhesive
• Place adhesive on the triangle portions and fold in to make your "bag"
• Use glue dots to affix your ribbon on either side of the inside of the bag
• Use glue dots to affix buttons to the side and on one large tab
• Round the corners on the 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" piece of cardstock and affix behind the large tab with the button
• Fold the tab with the button into the hole (made with the Word Window punch/scissors) from inside out
• Fold the remaining tab into the hole on the other side
• Viola! You have a cute little purse to hold all kinds of goodies - cards with envelopes, sweet treats, jewelry, small gifts, pencil with small pad of paper, 8 pack of crayons with small pad of paper (this is what my daughter did for church on Sunday with the purse I made for her), etc

I hope you enjoy making these as much as I have!

Have a great day! ツ

Christmas Pouches

I turned these along with a pencil sharpener ...

Into this ...

For Ana's class this Christmas.

I made the pouch with the envelope punch board and a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of paper. 

Directions:

* Take the paper and use the 2" mark on the envelope punch board and score/punch. 

* DO NOT TURN the paper. Move the paper to the 2 5/8" mark and score/punch.

* Turn the paper and use the score line pointer on the punch section to line up the first score line and score/punch. Move to the second score line and score/punch.

* Repeat for the third side and turn.

* DO NOT SCORE the fourth side! Only punch after lining up the score lines.

If you want pictures of these steps, let me know.

Have a great weekend! ツ

File Folder with Envelope Punch Board

Oh, what fun things to do with Stampin' Up!'s Envelope Punch Board!

I learned how to make file folders with the punch board and they are so much fun!

My scissors are showing in the picture so you can see it is a file folder card. This card is pretty simple, but you can decorate them however you like.

Have a great evening! ツ
