We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board is HERE!

Hello my crafty friends! I was able to get my hands on the We R  Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board before it sold out on HSN.  It arrived yesterday in the mail after I got home from work.  I will admit, that the first bag I attempted didn't come out exactly correct, but that's because I was not paying attention.  Once I read the instructions (yes they are printed right on the board), it was so easy to make the bag.

The Punch Board let's you make three different widths of bags 2.625", 3.125", and 3.625".  They have them labeled small, medium and large.  The length of your bag is up to you.  Although much like the Envelope Punch Board depending on the length, you will run off the board when making your score lines.
This board also has a punch that allows you to create holes, so that you can thread ribbon, twine or paper through it.
Check out our YouTube channel later today, and there will be a video up showing how to use the punch board.  As soon as it uploads I will update the post to add the link.  But for now here are two pictures of the bags I made.

Decorate with Designer papers and some die-cuts (used Martha Stewart Cake Seasonal Cartridge )to make a cute treat bag for a party.

 Make a coordinating gift bag to match your card.

The possibilities are endless.

Here's the YouTube Video

SEPTEMBER IS HERE AND ALMOST GONE

Hey Crafty friends, alas the summer has come to a close.  And darn it all, I was not able to use all of my Cricut Cartridges :-(, so I didn't complete my self-imposed challenge.  I blame it on the Silhouette Cameo, which has been really fun to use.  But the Cameo doesn't take the full blame.  Work was very busy, and I lost a little bit of my crafting mojo.

Never fear, I am back and ready to craft. Next month check out here and or our YouTube channel.  You will start to see a  Cricut Wednesday, and a Silhouette Thursday video at least once a month.

For Cricut Wednesday, there will be a video once a month featuring one particular cartridge and the use of it in a project or projects.   This is not to say that there won't be other videos.  But I will post here what cartridge I'll be featuring.  I am still deciding if the video will post on the first or second Wednesday of the month.  So check back on Wednesday this week to see when it will start in October.

Silhouette Thursday, will mainly feature my trials, tribulations, joys and triumphs as I continue to learn how to use my Silhouette Cameo.  Some Thursdays will be videos and some will be just a post.  Silhouette Thursday will be done twice a month on the first and third Thursday.

Also keep an eye out for post dealing with our other crafty adventures of Crocheting, Cake Decorating and more.

HAPPY CRAFTING
