Papertrey Ink May '09 Blog Hop - Yellow

Hello! Welcome to Papertrey's Blog Hop. This month's theme is the color yellow. I made this Ready, Set, Wrap template using Lemon Tart cardstock, and stamped with Boxes, Bags, and Tags.

I decided to jazz up the box by using my new Fiskar's Apron Lace punch on the side flaps. First, using scrap paper, I determined that the punch removes 1/4" of cardstock. Next, I printed the side flaps on copy paper and cut them out to be a template. When I traced the side flaps onto the cardstock, I traced one side, scooted the template over 1/2", and then traced the other side. You still have to leave the bottom tab the normal size so that it fits in the box. I punched away, and it worked out perfectly!

Thanks for hopping by, and enjoy the blog hop!
Jennifer

  31. This is super cute! Love the colors! I guess I didnt see this the night of the blog hop. It was my first blog hop and after I got my son in the bed, I did good to reply to the people who left me messages. I tried to look at some of the others but boy... it just wore me out! It was really fun though. Thanks for leaving me a comment!
