Well, the Tigers lost (whaaa), but so did Bama (yippee) and the Saints won! That’s all I know about sports.
As you may or may not know, we’ve been trying to sell my house. Well, not the house but one of the two lots that the poor ole homestead is resting on. We would like very much to build on the other lot–the one on our little lake. Since we have been getting some good nibbles and the Lord has sent us this marvelous weather, we decided we had better start cleaning out the garage. UGH! What a chore. I now have boxes of things to be shredded, bags of clothes to go to Good Will and books that will go to the LSU Friends of the Library. Sounds like we got alot accomplished, but believe me it’s only the tip of the iceberg.
I did, however, get to play with my Hamburger Box. Here is what I made and some tips to go with it.
 |
| Here is my finished project! TIP: Next time I would decorate my cardstock either before I cut it out or after. I felt it needed something! (The tag was also on the Hamburger Box die). |
 |
| TIP: You need the extended cutting pad (1) and the ExtendedPremium Crease Pads. TIP: I didn’t have the crease pad and you definitely need them (or 1 or them). Otherwise the die cuts the cardstock too deep. |
 |
| This shows the box score lines. |
 |
| I saw a tip on YouTube that it was easier to cut one side of each 3-scored corner and hot glue or use our new Fast Fuse adhesive. |
 |
| This shows the cuts I made. |
 |
| TIP: Using the Bone Folder gives nice crisp lines. |
 |
| I used the flat end of some tweezers to open the slits a bit. |
 |
| After all is cut and scored, add hot glue to the flaps and adhere them to the inside of the box. |
There are a few learning curves (check out google and youtube) but it makes a darling box. I’ll be giving it to my friend tomorrow for her birthday!
I have also seen some cute things made out of the box for kids–dogs, etc.
Happy stampin’,
