My customers have been asking me to have a Technique Class using the Envelope Punch Board. I was so excited when the Envelope Punch Board was introduced at Convention. I got even more excited when I saw all the other things that you could do with it. My customers have been asking for a different type of Technique class, so I decided to try a class showing them what else can be done.
I started with these cute little baskets using the Watercolor Wonder DSP. I thought they would be cute to use to hold treats for an Easter Gathering, Bridal Shower, or a Mother's Day Luncheon. My customers loved the idea and they were so easy to make. It was a good starter project for them.
This is what it looks like before it all gets folded together. Hopefully you can see the lines where I scored the DSP. These baskets were created with 6" x 6" DSP.
Here is a link where I found the directions

It is from Sam at PootlesPapercraft UK and is a great instruction video.
The supplies that I used for this project were:
STAMP SET: A Round Array
PAPER: Watercolor Wonder DSP, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
INK: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie
ACCESSORIES: 1/8" Pumpkin Pie Taffeta Ribbon, 1/8" Old Olive Taffeta Ribbon, Envelope Punch Board, Adhesive, Dimensionals
I was glad that I did this class for them. I know that Eli's teachers will be getting these cute little boxes filled with Jelly Beans for Easter. Enjoy the day!
Well this is the last in February's Technique Cards. This is my take on the Envelope Punch Gift Card Holder. It is so simple to do and a great way to dress up the way you give it. This one is definitely a gift card holder for a girly girl! The color combination of Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, and Coastal Cabana is very soft and feline looking. I also used the Pistachio Ruffled Ribbon and Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape to help adhere the bottom fold together.
This is what the gift card holder looks like open. The notches at the top of the card stock were made by using the Envelope Punch Board. It is so slick how it fits into the bottom for closing. Also from the side view, you can see how the enclosure slides up for easy access to the gift card when you open the card.
The supplies that I used for this gift card holder were:
STAMP SET: Chalk Talk
PAPER: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, Strawberry Slush DSP
INK: Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding
ACCESSORIES: Envelope Punch Board, Pistachio Pudding Ruffled Ribbon, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape, Sticky Strip, Dimensionals, Rhinestone Jewels, Pink Sharpie (non SU)
I have a family wedding coming up and I can't wait to use this technique to make a gift card holder for the gift card I will be giving them. I am so excited. All these ideas running through my head.
I will be doing this class again for my Tuesday and Saturday Classes next month. I had to cancel those classes this month because of the snow storms that we had this month. If you live in the area and would like to attend, let me know. Enjoy the day!
