Ready ,Set,Send .National Breast Cancer Foundation

Almost all of us have family members, friends and neighbours who have been affected by breast cancer. This widespread disease has touched the lives of members of the Stampin' Up! family, and contributions to breast cancer research have been an important part of Stampin' Up!'s philanthropic outreach. To that end, we are partnering with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) to offer the Ready. Set. Send. kit-a package of 10 handmade cards (five thank you and five birthday cards plus 10 envelopes) that retails for $19 (plus shipping and handling). Stampin' Up! will donate $10 to NBCF for each kit sold.

Envelope Punch Board

Just a review on the envelope punch board today .Its not just for envelopes ,and I wanted to show a couple of things Ive done in the past with it

This little snowman is just a long piece of cardstock scored in two places either side of the midline ( so he stands up) and the punch on the EPB used for his neck .
Glue or staple the top closed 
A separate pieces of card stock for his hat (save the punched out pieces for his mouth )
round the corners of his hat with the corner rounder punch on the EPB (save punched pieces for his eyes ) and make a brim for his hat from another piece of cardstock
 I popped the brim on the front and back so it was nice and tidy
This one is 11 inch long scored at 5 1/8 inch and again at 5 7/8 inch  .His hat is 2inch x 2 inch .
You can pop a chocolate inside for a treat


 
 The bow on this card is made by punching midway either side of a long piece of cardstock and fold the ends in .use a separate piece of cardstock to make the bowtails .Flag the ends and use a gluedot to stick your bow together  
 .Easy to pop on cards or gift boxes and you can make whatever size suits . So ,that's just two ideas that don`t involve envelopes !
