Scalloped tag topper box


This month’s team meeting was last week and it was my turn to do the demo. I like to try and find something others may not have seen and use products in another way.

So as I wanted to use a new product and one of my favourites is the scalloped tag topper punch I tried to find an unusual use.

I found a little treat box that uses the tag topper to create a really nice decorative look to the box.


It is quite simple to make see the instructions below.

Instructions

  1. Start a piece of cardstock 21cm wide by 16cm long
  2. Score landscape at 5cm, 10cm, 15cm and 20cm
  3. Score portrait at 5cm and 11cm
  4. Bone fold all score lines
  5. Have the sheet landscape cut up the vertical score lines to the horizontal line
  6. Flip the card and do the same to the other side – cut up the vertical score lines to meet the horizontal
  7. There will be small flaps on one end. Cut these two off so you just have the small flap in the middle, cut the corners off this flap
  8. On one edge put each of the four flaps into the punch as far as it will go and punch.
  9. Put glue on the flap fold the box around and glue
  10. Fold up the flaps on the bottom and glue to each other to form the bottom
  11. Decorate and fill as you wish

Envelope Punch 3D Envelope Treat Box


As I mentioned in my last blog post the Envelope Punch Board is my favourite product at the moment.
There are loads of videos on You Tube so if you are thinking of buying one definitely check those out, they will show you it is worth the money.

At my party I wanted to show off the punch board and everything it could do so I had samples of all the things I made with it and I did a simple demo that everyone had a go at.

It is to make a 3D envelope but adapted so that it can hold a treat as the top is left open.


Instructions below
