TECHNIQUE TUESDAY

The unveiling is here - Stampin' Up's New Annual Catalog! Always so much fun to go through the catalog and turn down the corners of pages that have your "must have" products.  Of course, I have lots of turned-down corners already!

One of our new products is the Gift Bag Punch Board, which I told you I have been playing with.  Here is a picture of the board and things I have created so that I can demo this fun product at our team meeting on Saturday:

"What"!? you say. Yes, all of these items were made with the board.  I love it when a product can be used to make more than one thing - more bang for your buck! And there are many talented people out there who have shared their creativity. For some of the projects I used retired paper, etc since I don't have a lot of new DSP yet. Bags and boxes can be made with DSP or card stock.

Here are the sizes of the 3 bags that the board is intended to make:

The first bag is the small one and it is left open with no tie closure.  It measures 2 3/4 wide by 4 3/4 tall.
The next one is the medium bag and is closed with a bow.  The board punches the holes in the correct
   place for you.  It measures 3 1/4 x 4 3/4.
The last one is the large bag and is closed with a punch, attached with a small Velcro Dot.  It measures 3 5/8 x 4 3/4.

The depth of all bags is 2 " and cannot be changed.  (However, I wouldn't doubt that someone will come up with a technique for that).  You can change the height of the bag, however.
Click here to watch the video of how to make the bags. The product also comes with detailed, printed directions.  Once you have made a few, you will be good to go.

I will be showing some of the other bags and boxes in the coming days and will link you to directions.

Let me know if you till need a catalog and if you are ready to have a party to share the fun of stamping.
