My tip: use chipboard or other heavy embellishments on your three flaps you want to stay open to keep them open.

Tip: Go around the edges of your die cuts with a brush tip marker. It gives them a more finished look, especially if you hand cut them.




Tip: Mat your patterned paper. It gives the whole box card a more finished look.

Tip: Check out different You Tube videos, like the one featured for this challenge, to adjust sizes for your box card. You can even do a horizontal one.

TiP:  Add borders to your strips that hold up your pop ups.

Tip: Don't be afraid to give this card a try.  It is so much easier than it looks and SO much fun!

  Tip: You don't necessarily have to use the entire stamped image on a project, try cutting  or punching out the main image it can give a totally different perspective and look to a project!

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon. TIP:  Easy way to create borders for your scrapbook page layouts, or embellishing the page or creating edges for your cards.  Gives you ease of creating a border across the edge(s) of paper; and create a border strip and cut down to size you would like for embellishing a sentiment mat for a card or front of card. Supplies used: Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Fiskars' smaller interchangeable border punch cartridges - double scalloped edge   Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Here is a short write up about the system: The unique design of the AdvantEdge Punch System by Fiskars allows crafters to add perfectly aligned decorative borders and ribbons to any pr
