Stamping with Rosalie: INK & INSPIRATION BLOG HOP

Welcome to the Ink and Inspiration blog hop. You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from AUSTRALIA. I hope you enjoy my project. As crafters we use so many tools for so many different reasons. Some, such as scissors are a must have and others, such as a bone folder, you can work without, but they do make crafting so much easier.

One of my favorite tools is the Envelope Punch Board. While this board isn't one of those necessary items, it is very useful. Not only can it make envelopes of varied shapes and sizes, but you can also use it to make many other projects as well. One of my favorite features is the back side of the board, which has a corner rounder! This added feature means that I don't need to own a corner rounder punch, which saves me from spending more money on a separate rounder. I love multi use tools.

If you do a google search for "Envelop Punch Board", you will see just how versatile this board is. You can make boxes, file folders, bonbons, envelop boxes, paper cups, baskets, tags, bows, gift bags, mini envelope albums, gift card holders, envelopes and the list goes on and on.

As my son's 9th birthday is coming up next week and he is a Pokémon fan I had the need to create a holder for a character card that we have purchased for him. So using the Envelope Punch Board to create a Gift Card Holder was a perfect solution.

I used the Large Numbers Framelits and the Layering Oval Framelits to decorate his gift card holder. The punch board creates a tab which is used to close the holder and keep the contents inside.
