The Pirintable Craft Shop from Crafting4Good tutotial on making the easel draw card

Hello again,

I have attached below the video tutorial on how to make the easel draw card from The Printable Craft Shop - they have some lovely designs on their website and are really cost effective - it is definitely worthwhile popping over to their website for a mooch.


You can make just the easel card and matching envelope or make the easel draw card with matching box.  I have made it with the draw and matching box - it is a lovely gift and you can add chocolate or pressies to the draw for a surprise.

Please follow the link below to see exactly how this is made, to make yours please go to the Printable Craft Shop's website to purchase the kit for this.

Hello again,

I recently brought a planner collection from The Printable Craft shop, covering Christmas and the rest of the year and thought I would share it with you.

If you would like to make one too, simply go to The Printable Craft Shop website and purchase what you like - they have a lot of choices.

INSTRUCTIONS

Print out all sheets listed above after purchasing from The Printable Craft Shop from Crafting 4 Good.  On the reverse of the back panel and side panel 1 print the backing paper on the reverse.  You get a choice of what pages you would like in your planner, so print out the sheets you would like, I printed 25 of each to give a substantial notes pad.
Then cut them all out and score on the panels where marked (back page and notes holders).  On the notes holders and all notes pages you need to punch out the holes – which are marked but a white circle.  You also need to perforate the notes pages, you can do this using a paper trimmer with a perforator built in or with a needle and mat and poke the needed through every 2mm.
Make up the holds holder by scoring down the score lines and cutting down the white sections at each end and fold and glue (as you would a box).  Once dry, you simply place your notes pages into the holder lining up the punches hold and secure with a brad.
Take your back page which you have scored and fold the two scored ends inwards. You will glue/tape side panel 1 to the right side and side panel 2 to the left side (with the planner open towards you).  On the reverse of these you will stick the back sides of side panel 1 & 2 to give a clear pretty finish.
Once you have stuck the front and backs of both side panels on you will end up with what looks like a gate fold card.
Using the notes you have made up, stick the large weekly planner to the centre back page, and the to do list / blank notes pages to the left side (facing you) but turn side-ways and stick this down also.  Finally on the right side panel stick the long notes pages.
When sticking these down, please ensure they do not over laps each other (the notes holder sections, otherwise it will not close properly and will not sit flush- stagger them slightly.  I found it was easier to do the centre one first then the two end ones.
Although this project takes a while to print and put together, it is such a beautiful project when finishes and makes a stunning gift, it is well worth the time it takes to make it.
There are also Christmas planners available with lovely variety of notes pages, such as recipes, gifts, weekly planners etc., and all the reminders pages you need to organise and plan your Christmas.
All can be purchased for a very good price from www.printable-craftshop.com from Crafting4good.


Thank you for taking the time to read the instructions and I hope you are as happy with your finished project as I am with mine.

It will make lovely gifts.
