Another Easel Hat Card With Gorgeous Hat Box!!

Positivelypapercraft easel hat card

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to my Blog & as always, thank you so much for stopping by.  You may remember a few weeks ago i made a beautiful easel Hat/Bonnet card with a presentation gift box. At the time i was trying out different video techniques & that video happened to be sped up & had a voice over. A few people messaged me & asked if i could possibly redo the tutorial in 'real time'. So i have! The other reason i wanted to redo it was because i really wanted to make a mini Hat box to gift the card. I am thrilled with how it turned out & i hope you are to.

This would make a perfect Mothers Day Card. That's what i have decided to use mine for. As you can see in the picture, i die cut the word 'Mam' in silver glitter card. I also added a silver glitter bow on top of the lid. I just love the way this turned out & anyone would be thrilled to receive this. They could also use the hat box as storage afterwards.

It really is a very simple project to make & i have seen so many people re make it. I love seeing people trying my tutorials & ideas. Please feel free to send me any pictures of your creations. You can send them to my email address or via Facebook or Instagram.

Below i will list all the measurements in imperial & metric. You will also find the link to my video at the end of this post.

Make Your Own Ink Pad Storage!!

Handmade ink pad storage, positivelypapercraft


Hi Everyone,
Thank you for stopping by my Blog Today. I am rather excited about Today's project! Quite a bit of work went into it and i am pleased with the result. Its not perfect but then again its handmade. Its all made from paper pad backing covers/old cereal boxes & anything which resembles chipboard. I doubled up the cereal boxes and also the paper pad backing sheets as i wanted them to be quite thick.

Positivelypapercraft Ink pad storage


My storage unit holds 14 Ink pads. It will not hold Stampin Up pads though. The paper i used to cover it is so beautiful!! Its from Stamperia & its called Wonderland. Of course you can choose whatever you like to decorate yours. I also put some fancy Gold corners on that i have had in my stash for a while. They were glued on with my favourite Super Glue i get from Amazon!
 I love this glue & its the best i have ever used! Once that Glue is on, trust me! Its not coming off again. I will put any links i have for products at the end of this post. I normally just put them under my Youtube videos but i will also put them on here as well.

I am thrilled at how strong this storage unit has turned out. I hope you like it and will give it a go. Just take your time with it and make sure you have everything prepared & ready. As i said in the video, the only thing i was not happy with was the shelf's. Some of them slightly stick out. That is easily rectified if you just cut your slits a little longer. This will allow the shelf's to sit back further into the box.

Please find all the measurements listed below in metric & Imperial:

MEASUREMENTS 

CHIPBOARD SPINE MEASURES 6 7/8" X 4"
OR  17.5 CM X 10.2 CM 

MARK AT EVERY 1" AND THEN MAKE YOUR SLITS ABOUT 1 3/4" LONG

6 CHIPBOARD SHELVES MEASURING 6 1/4" X 4"
OR  10.2 CM X 15.9 CM 

MARK IN THE MIDDLE @ 3 1/8" & MAKE YOUR SLIT ABOUT  2 1/4" LONG

CHIPBOARD X 2 PIECES FOR THE TOP & BOTTOM MEASURING 6 1/2" X 4" 
OR   15.9 CM X 16.5 CM 

DESIGNER PAPER MEASURES 

2 PIECES MEASURING 3 7/8" X 6 3/4" 
OR   17.1 CM X 9.8 CM 

1 PIECES FOR THE TOP MEASURING 3 7/8" X 6 1/4" (OR 2 PIECES IF YOU WANT TO DO THE BOTTOM ALSO) 
OR  9.8 CM X 15.9 CM 

IF YOU WANT TO REINFORCE THE INSIDE CORNERS YOU NEED 4 PIECES OF CARD MEASURING 3 7/8" X 2" 
SCORE ON THE SHORT SIDE @ 1"
OR
4 PIECES MEASURING 9.8 CM X 5 CM
SCORE @ 2.5 CM 

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial & remember you can find the video and product links below.

Make your own professional looking sectioned Box

Positivelypapercraft storage box tutorial


Hi everyone!
Welcome to my Blog & thank you for stopping by to check out today's tutorial.  I am soooo excited about today's project & so proud of it to! I just love the way it turned out & i will be most definitely making more of these. This box is just so cute & the best thing is its super, super strong. I am sure you will love it if you make one or maybe two or three!

I had the idea in my head of those boxes that pop together with fasteners, i think they are made for CD storage but i am not 100% sure. Mine is just for show (the fasteners not the box) & i think it just looks so cool. I made mine to hold my embellishments but you can store whatever you like in yours. Another great thing is this box is sectioned so it has 3 compartments, great to store bits & bobs in it.

My box is made from old cereal boxes that i glued together so my pieces are extra thick. There is no need to go out & buy chipboard. As long as you have some cereal boxes or the backs off 12 x 12 paper pads, your good to go. Make sure you head over to my you tube channel to watch my step by step tutorial. I will put the video link below but i can not do that until the video is 'live'. As i keep saying, please subscribe to my channel and then you will get a notification when my video is published. It then saves you waiting for the video link to be put on here.

Hardback Travellers Notebook with Handmade Insets (part 2)

Handmade travellers notebook, positivelypapercraft,


Hi everyone,
Welcome to my blog and part 2 of my Hardback Travellers Notebook tutorial. I hope you enjoyed PART 1 that i had for you yesterday. Today i am showing you how i made the inserts and also some pockets i made for the inside of the TN. I am just so happy with the handmade notebooks and i very much doubt i will ever buy them again! They are pretty simple to make, you just need a bit of patience lol. Every crafter needs patience though or you would never get anything made!

Easy travellers notebook with inserts, Positivelypapercraft travellers notebook


The great thing about making the notebooks yourself is you can put in whatever you want and decorate it the way you want. In mine i had vellum, foil paper, kraft card and lots more. Like i said in the video i found a great website that allows you to print off all kinds of paper. They have every kind of graph paper you can think of. All you need to do is trim them down to the size you need. I printed mine on copier paper which was 90gsm. I thought it would be better to get one a bit thicker than the normal 75gsm that i use. It gives a much nicer feel etc to your paper.

Positivelypapercraft handmade notebooks


My notebooks are binded together with staples as i have a long arm stapler that i purchased last year from Ebay. I love it and if i remember rightly it was about £12 which i don't think is that expensive. You got hundreds of staples with it to. I have put the link for it under my YouTube video in case you would like to purchase one. However, if you don't have one you can still make the notebooks. All you need is a large needle and some elastic or twine. Basically just sew your pages together. I have tried it and it works really well. Just poke 2 or 3 holes in your books and sew them, then you can tie the twine or elastic on the inside of your book. I used my Xcut corner rounder to round all the corners. I think they look really professional and very neat and tidy.

Hardback Handmade Travellers Notebook With Inserts (Part 1)

positivelypapercraft travellers notebook


Hi everyone,
Welcome to my Blog!! I am so excited about today's project!! I have been working on it for a couple of days now & i am thrilled at the end result. As you can probably tell from the picture, i have made a small & large Travellers notebook. If you follow me you may no that i have done a few travellers notebooks in the past, however i have never done any made from chipboard. I just love them and i also love making them! I think this is my new addiction.

Positivelypapercraft tutorial


I even made all 4 notebooks in the larger TN. They turned out perfect & i think they look so professional. Making them yourself means that you can add in anything you like! This turned out to be a long tutorial so i decided to split it into 2 parts. Part 1 is the cover and binding etc & part 2 is the notebooks & pockets.  As this is part 1 i will list all the measurements for the cover etc & tomorrow when part 2 comes out, i will list all measurements for the notebooks & pockets etc.

In part 2 i show you a few different options on how you can make your notebooks so i hope you find it helpful. I will never buy another notebook as i am so pleased with the ones i made. The small TN is just so adorable and i had some notebooks lying around that i bought for the last TN i made. It made sense to just use them up. I will also list the measurements in tomorrows post in case you would like to make the smaller version. Its made the same way just smaller.






Below you can find the measurements for the parts i covered in the part 1 video:

MEASUREMENTS 
CHIPBOARD 2 PIECES MEASURING 5 X 8"   OR    12.7 CM X 20.3 CM
1 PIECE MEASURING 8 X 1 3/4"    OR    20.3 CM X 4.4 CM 

2 PIECES 12 X 10 CARD STOCK   JOINED TOGETHER, SCORE 1 PIECE ON THE LONG SIDE AT 1/2" 
OR 25.4 CM X 30.5 CM SCORE AT 1.2 CM 

INSIDE CARD MEASURES 12 X 7 3/4"    OR    30.5 CM X 19.7 CM 

PATTERNED PAPER X 2 MEASURING 4 7/8" X 7 7/8"   OR   12.4 CM X 20 CM

Gorgeous Notebook Folder

positivelypapercraft notebook folder

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my Blog & thank you for stopping by.
Today i have a lovely Notebook Folder/Organiser that would make a great gift for anyone. I made mine from chipboard but you could also use cereal boxes etc. The paper pad i used is called 7th Heaven from Mintay & its beautiful.

Positivelypapercraft


There is 2 notebooks in the folder which i made myself. Its really easy to do. One has copier paper in & the other is some lined paper i cut from a notepad. I just put the pages together and wiped glue over the top where the papers join. I then clipped them together for about 30 minutes. Give it a try!

positivelypapercraft


On the front of the folder i made a pocket that you could put a photo in or a quote of some sort. I thought it was a nice little feature, I used a die to cut out the window and then put some acetate behind it. The gold closure is also a lovely addition and i picked a pack of them up from Aliexpress.

NO DIE Hexagon Stepper Box Tutorial

positivelypapercraft, Easy gift box tutorial,


Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my Blog & thank you for stopping by!! You may remember i did a tutorial on a balcony/stepper box a while ago on my channel. It was a die by simply made crafts but lots of people asked me if i could do a tutorial on a similar box without using a die. So here it is! My stepper box has 3 little hexagon boxes inside and its really quite a large box overall.

Balcony box tutorial, positivelypapercraft,


You can see what the inside looks like from the picture above. Its a really easy box to make and it looks and feels very professional. I hope you will have a go at one yourself.

I will list all the measurements below in Imperial and metric. I used very thick card for my box, at least 300gsm, maybe more as its so thick!

EASY Travellers Notebook Tutorial Part 1

Easy travellers notebook tutorial


Hi everyone,
First i just want to wish you all a very happy new year. I hope you all have a healthy, happy and crafty new year.
I want to kick the new year off with a Travellers Notebook tutorial. Its really easy to make and the video is a bit long. Thats only because i wanted to explain it all step by step.  I also make some storage wallets and envelopes for it.

Positivelypapercraft Travellers notebook tutorial


positivelypapercraft


Positivelypapercraft


I have put the links in my you tube video description for the notebooks that i came across on Amazon. They are only about £4.50 for a pack of 10 and you can get them with narrow lines, wide lines, blank and a grid layout. I made my blank note books using copier paper. It is very simple to do but you will need a long arm stapler if you want to do it this way.

I made my Travellers note book the same size as the one that Gemma sent me. The only problem is that the notebooks that Gemma used were a  bit larger than mine. It just means that my cover is a little large for the notebooks. As i said in the video tutorial, i will also put measurements for a smaller cover which fits the notebooks better. Please bare in mind that if you make the cover the smaller size, the envelope on the back cover will be to big and also the pockets on the front inside cover. You would have to make them smaller.

MEASUREMENTS 
                                
PATTERNED PAPER FOR THE COVER MEASURES 11 5/8" X 8 1/2"    OR    29.5 CM X 21.5 CM

SCORE THE LONG SIDE @ 5 1/4",  5 5/8",  6" & 6 3/8"     OR    13.3 CM,  14.2 CM,  15.2 CM & 16.1 CM

COVERS FOR THE NOTEBOOKS MEASURE 8 1/4" X 8"    OR    20.3 CM X 21 CM

SCORE ON THE LONG SIDE @ 4 1/8"    OR    10.4 CM

ENVELOPE FOR THE BACK COVER MEASURES 10 1/4" X 10 1/4"   OR    26 CM X 26 CM

PUNCH AND SCORE @ 4"    OR    10.1 CM USING THE ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD 

CARD FOR THE POCKET DIVIDER MEASURES 8 5/8" X 8"   OR   20.3 CM  X 21.9 CM

SCORE THE LONG SIDE @ 4 1/8" & 4 1/2"    OR    10.4 CM & 11.4 CM
