February Class Projects

Ok so it's halfway into march & I realise that I haven't gotten around to posting our class projects from February ( send me to the naughty corner!!) so here they are finally, we made 3 cards & a mini Kraft box with a crepe paper flower.

I love how super easy it was to make beautiful flowers with the new crepe paper. Simply fold one of the rectangle pieces of crepe paper in half long ways then fold in half again bringing the short ends together then repeating one more time. You end up with 8 layers then simply punch out with the blossom punch, scrunch petals then add a brad to hold it all together.

To make the mini Kraft box you need a 8 1/2" x 4" Kraft cardstock, score @ 2", 4", 6" & 8" turn & score @ 1" & 3".
Fold & Cut up along the score marks on all 4 score marks on each side of the box to the 1" mark. Stamp and assemble your box, fill with goodies and add flower to finish it off! Super simple.

How to make your own

• Cardstock 11 1/2" x 7 1/4" scored on long side @ 1/2", 4",5",6",9 1/2" & 10 1/2" turn cardstock and score short side @1" & 6"
• Fold all score lines. On the 2 side bits measure 1" up from the bottom score line with a grey lead then score from that mark to the corners to form triangles (this will be for the side gussets)
• The 1" fold along the long side is then folded down, its best to punch the holes for the handles now before assembling, but make sure they are in the same place on the front & back.
• Trim the bottom corner off along the 1/2" side this will form the tab.Cut up to score in line in 3 places, see image below for reference. 
• Add sticky strip or a good strong tape along the 1/2" tab on the front side. Now construct your bag.
• For extra reinforcement I added a 3 1/14" x 1 7/8" bit of heavy cardstock inside the bottom of the bag, you can glue in place if you like.
• For the handles cut 2 bits of ribbon 35 cm long and tie off one end with a double knot, thread through the holes and tie off again.

Mini cards 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"- works really well with the images from the dsp

Matching envelopes to go with the cards

To make envelopes-you need a 6" x 6" dsp scored @ 2 3/4" on all four sides using the diagonal plate on the score board.fold all score lines, cut the triangle bits from all sides. Round one point and make this the flap, glue the sides & bottom and your done.
