January Club Projects

Good Morning!

Here is a look at 3 of the 5 projects we made at my Stamp Club this month. The calendar box is a pen caddy or post it holder (depending on your preference). The pen is super easy to make. Lastly, the card was a nice quick and easy design. I have included instructions for the box and pen below.

Here are some rough instructions for the box and pen (email me with questions if it is not clear):

Coaster Pen Caddy:
Box
· Cut 5 pieces of chipboard coasters to 3 ½ X 3 ½ .
· Cut 2 strips of cardstock to 8 ½ X 3 ½ .
· Wrap and glue the cardstock pieces onto the chipboard pieces to form a box.
Box Bottom
· Cut a coordinating piece of cardstock to 4 ½ X 4 ½.
· Score this piece turning clockwise at 9/16” on one side, 9/16” on next side, ½”, then ½’’
· Fold and cut to form box insert.
o Glue this box together with the seams on the outside of the box
· Glue this assembled box bottom to the last piece of chipboard coaster
· Apply sticky strip to the outer edges of the box bottom piece and insert carefully in the bottom inside of the caddy
Decorate the caddy as you would like!

Pen:

I got these instructions from a friend, Rochelle Wick. Instead of the tape roll that she lists, you can use sticky pages from Stampin' Up!. You can click here to see them.

These are the supplies I used for these projects:

Paper: Bella Blue DSP, Not Quite Navy CS, Whisper White CS

Ink: Brocade Blue, Choclate Chip

Stamps: Fresh Cuts, "The best is yet to be"-retired

Give it a try and let me know how you do!
