I want to show the new ladies on Friday just how versatile
stamping can be, so I have a couple more Outlined Expressions projects to show
them, too.
The first I will demonstrate as an easy little party favour.
It’s made from a rectangular piece of Designer Series Paper (trust me, squares
don’t work). You simply fold it in half, short edge to short edge, and crease
along the fold. Then open out and mark the centre point along both short edges.
Score and fold from this centre point to the centre point along the long edge.
Take a look at the template, it’s easier than it sounds.
Fold everything inwards and overlap the side flaps. On the
top one, mark about 1cm from the top and punch a hole. Fold again and mark
through this hole onto the bottom flap and punch again. Repeat on the opposite
side. Now you can use ribbon to hold it together and decorate the front as you
wish.
I haven’t given measurements because no measurements are
required – you can make these any size you like, as long as it’s a rectangle.
If you insist on knowing, this one was made from a piece of 6”x4” paper.
