Pinch Box Tutorial using Stampin’ Up! Perpetual Calendar Stamp

Pootles Pinch Box Tutorial using Stampin’ Up! Perpetual Calendar Stamp

Oh oh oh! It’s the time of year when I can buy Silver Dragees and get away with putting them through my books as a legitimate business expense! Ha! Got to love it when chocolate features as a business necessity, but I’m sure you’ll all agree, that it is imperative that I include eats into my videos isn’t it. Isn’t it???

Well whether it’s a tax write off or not, I love that I can bring you sweet treat projects and there’s no better time than Valentine’s Day!

My box is small and adorable, the focus is all about the shape, and while you can make it taller, I like the short squat size that it is!

Do enjoy the video, but apologies, you do miss me finishing off the bow (you didn’t miss much, I messed up as usual!) but I had SD Card issues…

Watch the video, the captions will I’m sure keep you entertained, and I’m sure you’ll all join me in thanking my amazing husband for his part in the fix…. just watch, it will make sense!
