Stampin’ Up! UK Envelope Punch Board Week – The Open Basket
When I was making this project up, I was originally working with a sheet of 12×12 paper, and although I absolutely loved the size of it, I didn’t want a cardstock version, and I didn’t feel that the really-quite-large basket’s handles would stand up to holding all that much.
There are most definitely many many ways to use paper to hold a multitude of heavy things (yes, this is another project in the pipeline!), but the decorative handles may have been mistaken for actual carrying handles, and they hadn’t been reinforced, so it was back to the drawing board.
Or more correctly, the string of growing numbers in my workbook and pile of discarded scrapper paper that I used for working on projects…
So basically, this is a miniaturised version, but it’s oh so adorable!
A demo friend of mine has seen a sneaky peek of this, and I know she plans to use it as hostess gift packaging, which I think is a marvellous idea!
So you want the video, right??

If you’d like any of the supplies, to shop, or to get a catalogue, please feel free to contact me, and if you’re thinking of joining Stampin’ Up! and my team of Pootlers (that’s them over there in the side bar!) I’d most definitely like to hear from you! I have a YouTube channel (over there on the right!) and you can find me by searching PootlesPapercraft, Pootles Paper Craft or Pootles Papercraft! (I like the variety!)
Can you tell me the score lines using a 12×12 piece of paper, please? That size would be perfect gifts we are giving to our donors for a non-profit I work with. Thank you so much.
May I simply just say what a relief to uncover someone who truly knows what they’re talking about over the internet.
You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
More people have to read this and understand this side of your story.
I was surprised you aren’t more popular because you surely possess the gift.
Dear Toad-a-ly Awesome Sam! Thank you for your teaching tutorials from Kansas, the middle of The US of A! I march to the beat of a different drummer! I love making boxes, cups, bags, and whatever else I find on the internet! I am putting together a list of your tutorials (list of boxes and sizes, list of milk cartons, …) and instructions so I will know where to find all of your wonderful tutorials. And I love just listening to you!
