Card Purse Tutorial Part 1 of 2

HAPPY MONDAY !!!!!!!!

Wow, guess what, I have another tutorial for you all!!!!! I am getting good at this, LOL!!! These tutorials are so fun to put together and I hope they are helping all of you with your creativeness.

I found these cute little card purses on Aprils blog, and then I was off finding the directions to make some. These are so easy and I know all of you will have a blast making them.


Step One: Cut two pieces of cardstock (DP used in this tutorial) to 8 1/2"x 5" and one piece of cardstock or DP to 3" x 7".














Step Two: Scor the smaller piece at 1/2" all around all four edges.














Step Three: Cut the corners off, you can click on the picture to make it bigger to see exactly where to cut.














Step Four: Scor the two bigger pieces at 6", 7" & 8"














Step Five: Use your bone folder to make sure the creases are good. The bigger pieces are folded accordion fold and the smaller pieces the edges are folded up.

Card Purse Tutorial Part 2 of 2

Step Five: use sticky tape and put together the two bigger pieces as shown














Step Six: Now is the start to attach the bottom to the sides. I found it easier to leave the sides flat until the very end, it helps so much while attaching the bottom. I started on the long side as shown in the picture.














Step Seven: This photo shows how it looks after attaching the smaller side. Keep going all the way around until you have to attach to close the purse.














Step Eight: Finish as desired. I use the Crop A Dile to punch my holes and attach the eyelets. The ribbon handles are 13" long and Itied a knot to keep it attached. For the label on the front I used the Giga Scalloped Punch to punch a white oval and then the stamp set is from PaperTrey's Sweet Love and the sentiment is from Papertrey set.















I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and if you have any questions, please email me or leave a comment. See you tomorrow!!!!

Box Tutorial

Hello and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!! I have a tutorial for all of you. The other tutorial I wanted to you all first was not working in picture form, but I have this one for you instead :)

It is a very cute box that I found on Cambria's blog. I actually have a surprise for you at the end, you are gonna love it :)

If you have any questions, please fell free to email me.

Here goes........


Step One: Cut your cardstock (in this tutorial I used DP), to 8 1/4" X 8 1/4"

Step Two: Score on all four sides at 2 3/4", so you end up with 3 rows of 3 squares.















Step Three: On the four corner squares scor them diagonal, so it looks like two triangles.














Step Four: Use your bone folder and fold on all the scored lines.















Step Five: Also use your bone folder to make sure the four corner squares creased really well.

Step Six: use your adhesive and attach the triangles together. So you can see the inner box with wings at all four corners.















Step Seven: put adhesive on one side of the triangle and fold it in so that it sticks to on side of the box.

Step Eight: fold the other triangle over the triangle you just glued down. Repeat on other side.

















The sides should end up like this

















Step Nine: I used the Crop A Dile and punched a hole where the two triangle created a point so that I could add an eyelet to it.
