Template for Bird House card

I have given the measurement in inches put have also given the centimeters a near as possible although making them slightly different wouldn't make any difference.

(8" x 8" = 20.25cm x 20.25cm)

(2" x 2" = 5.6cm x 5.6cm)

Mark the ____

Cut the ____

I had to fold the card over to suit my Cuttlebug,  it needs got something to protect the inner of the card - I used a metal sheet, the one used for die-cutting.

cut the center holes - which ever size you desire

I used the tape of the top for a template for the roof and cut them to fit.

Decorate the 'Bird House how ever you wish, I decided to make one a little more dramatic than the first one I made.

It is pretty simple but if anyone want's any question Email me.

Tutorial - Template 7"x 5"

I have been asked would it be possible to create a card 7"x 5" that is the same way as the

Envelope/Box card is in my Tutorial page, I managed put couldn't make it as deep as the original Envelope Box without using larger that 12" paper. 

This is the result - other than that I usually make a 6"x 6" box and I am in the process of making one for a tutorial.

This is the basic measurements.

The paper is cut from 12"  x  9"               (30cm  x  22.5cms)

Here are the step by step follow

Mark the fist line 3"           (8.75cms)

The second line 3.75" up     (7.5cms)

Mark along the longer edges 3.75"      (2cms)

Cut the lines from the edges from the top and bottom score.

Mark the red lines within  .375"              (2cms)

Score all the lines.

I cornered the edges just to make it a little neater and glue two of the sides.

I usually use 'Remoistenable Envelope Glue' to close the envelope/box , sometimes added papers to cover or used a tag as above.

I have made a card, slightly smaller (actually 6.75" x 4.85")  which is a DT card but will show this tomorrow.

Your can see although the flowers are rather bulky and the 'envelopcard' is not very deep the card will still fit.
