Something Saturday - Holder for last weeks project

 Hi there Creators,

I mentioned last week that maybe I should create a holder for all those cards to sit in and make it look great as a gift, and guess what? this week that's exactly what I'm doing 😃

Before we get started with photos and measurements, I mentioned that there is a special joining deal going on this month, drum roll........  you can get the amazing "brand" new Stampin' Positioner Tool for FREE!  I show it off in my video, and the deal is pick out up to $235 of goodies, only pay $169 and get the new tool for free on top of this!  Then you get an ongoing 20% discount (I joined for the discount 18 years ago.....umm🤣)  I'd probably still join for the discount and I reckon since I joined the deal has gotten sweeter, as you also get the 10% Stampin' rewards the same as "customers" do.  Seriously it's a win, win!  anyway ask me about it if you're interested. and check it out here: Join Stampin' Up!

The next thing I mentioned is the new Craft Class Stampin' Up! are offering check it out here: Lovely Blossoms Craft Class, at only $44 I think this is really reasonably priced, you do need to have the Lovely Blossoms Suite Collection (which is rather lovely🤣) and has a really cool die in it, ironically I have all but the stamps & dies!

Then lastly is the new Product of the Month, ooooooo, yep it's goodie!   check it out here:  Product of the Month Feb 26, you need to purchase $125 and you can pick it for $9 (just think if you were a "demonstrator" you'd only be paying $100, but still getting the full 10% Stampin' Rewards😉) plus you wouldn't be paying $9 for it, you'd only be paying $7.20 (if my math is correct!)

Ok well let's move onto the reason you're here (just in case my previous mentions weren't it🤣)

bear with me it's difficult to get decent photos of a 3D project!  As you can see I've used the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series paper as that's what I've used on the cards (which are the Notecards & envelopes pack), I would have used a 1/2 sheet of the paper, but I didn't have 1/2 sheet left over, so I've had to use 2 different designs, but thankfully they're kind of similar enough that it works ok.

If you can it's best to keep the pattern running all the way round the box, I'd recommend starting on the front loose flap and then cutting your way round to the front, and doing the sides separately.

And here is my first box I made up for the first set of cards I created using the Mixed Up Patterns Designer Paper, although the Designer paper on the outside of the box is actually a retired one, as I definitely didn't have enough of this paper to use 🤣

To make the box for the notecards & envelopes you need an A4 sheet of cardstock plus some matching Designer paper.

First up score the A4 cardstock at 3.5cm in each side (long sides), and 6.5cm and 10cm in on each of the short sides., then  cut as shown in this photo:

For the "mat's" just make them 1/2cm smaller all round, so for example the bottom measurement should be 6cm x 13.5cm (as you can see on the photo above)

Then cut where the red lines are, score the dotted lines.  Glue it together and voila😃

I hope this inspires you to create

God Bless love
