November Stamp Club

We had Stamp Club last week and made two cards, our December calendar and a Birthday Reminder Box.

Here are the pictures and instructions:


2 pieces of Thick White Cardstock –
·        #1 measures 11” x 7”
·        #2 measures 7.5” x 6”

·        Score Piece #1 on it’s longer side & .5” / 3” / 8” / 10.5”
·        Use the Diagonal Score Plate & score at the 8” mark (see diagram)
·        Flip the page completely over (to the back side).  The first diagonal (@ 8”) should now be in the opposite corner.  Score again at the 8” mark diagonally.
·        Fold & cut off the corners
·        Add strong tape (Red Line or Sookwang tape) to the two 5” flaps on the side.

Piece #2: 
·        Score at .5” and 3” on the longer side. 
·        Turn 90 degrees and score at .5 & 5.5” on the shorter side.
·        Trim ½” flaps as seen in diagram
·        Place strong tape on ½” flaps.

Adhere Designer Paper to box before putting it together.  Side panels are cut 7” x 2 ¼”.  Front panel is 4 ¼” x 4 ¾”
·        Fold the ½” flaps up & align them along the inside back of Piece #1.  Adhere.
·        Fold in the “wings” and adhere them to the base flaps.
·        Fold up the front & adhere to the remaining ½” flaps.

To make the notch, measure in half-way from the sides & make a pencil mark.  Use a Circle Punch & punch a half circle.

You need 6 Dividers cut at 6” x 4 ¾”
DSP for the dividers is cut at 5 ½” x 4 ¾” – scored at 5.5” & 2”

If you want to make additional boxes (nice Christmas present!), here is the link to directions AND a link to printing the calendar inserts.




Thanks to Marianne for this card!  She gave me the one on the right for my birthday in October.  I gave the ladies a choice between Wisteria Wonder and Fresh Fig.  This set comes with framelits but I did not use them on the card.  We just stamped directly on the white cardstock.
