Hey Everyone
The Design Team at Just Add Ink have had a bit of a break over Christmas, but we’re back with our very first challenge of 2014 and our challenge for you is to:
Just Add………Thinlits or Envelope Punch Board
You may’ve hopped from the lovely Mae Collins blog and been wowed by her project – if you didn’t come from Mae’s blog that’s ok, you can catch it on the way around or by clicking on the full list of names below.
So I didn’t have either of these until I saw this challenge coming up, so I brought both. Lucky I did because I have somehow lost my unopened Stampin’ Up! Thinlits somewhere in my craft room – not sure how I could totally lose them, but I did. A bit of a clean up might produce them, but I’m not that motivated at the moment to do a big clean up 🙂 So I had no choice but to go with my Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board. Not knowing anything about the board before Monday I decided to do a bit of YouTubing and found hundreds of tutorials on how to use it. I can now say I’m addicted to it and have made about 15 different projects since Monday!

I have a card class coming up soon so I thought this was the perfect chance for me to get in front for once and have my projects made ahead of time. Here’s what I’ve created:

I’ve made and decorated a gift box that holds 4 cards and 4 envelopes. To find the tutorial I used – you can click here. Here’s a photo of the front of the decorated box:

I made 2 different cards designs that I tried to keep de-layered so they would fit easily in the box (not sure that I achieved the de-layered bit, but I did try!)


As I was on a roll with scoring and punching I decided to make a chocolate bar gift box that I played around with until it fit a chocolate bar that I had at home – my inspiration for decorating of this box came from my mum who had a sleepover the other night (thanks mummy!). Here’s a link to the tutorial that I adapted my box from.

I hope you like my projects! So the next stop along the way is the super-talented Nikki Spencer. You’re going to love what she’s created – I always do! Click on the blog hop picture below to take you to her blog:
