- Hey all. I am still working on busting my Recollection paper pad. This is another way you can use paper that maybe you just don't know what to do with. I hope you enjoy. #christmasinjuly #scrapbooking #papercraft

Thank you for this great tutorial. We all have those papers that we don’t know what to do with and this is a great example of creativity. Thanks for sharing.❣️
What a great idea to use our paper pads. I saw in another video that if you make the bottom 1/8” smaller, the top one comes in easier but still tight close.
+
Yes, logic would tell you to score the bottom 1/8" smaller on one side so you can fit that top on without it buckling the bottom.
You can score both papers the same amount. Just make the bottom paper 1/8" smaler bevor scoring the paper. Great Video. Thank you for sharing.
Can I recommend cutting a half circle out in the middle of two opposite edges using a 1 inch circle cutter. It makes opening the box much easier. Also I would glue up the bottom first and then one corner of the top, lay the top over the bottom and glue the other three corners allowing a little leeway on the flaps as you go if it’s too tight a fit. Hope that makes sense.
Great tip! Thank you so much. love the circle tip..
Or just add 1/8 inches to one side bottom and top to the top section when you score so that it sits nicely onto the bottom.
Super kool idea!!!!😎 New friend watching 😇❤
If you shift the card for the lid tiny bit to the right on the score board and score the usual and repeat on all sides, it will make the lid of the box slightly bigger to cover the bottom easily. Also use circle punch, punch it half way on both side of lid to make it easier to open the box.
@@tracieames Thank you that is such a great hack. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! So glad to have a use for all of the large center print papers!!
Now I don't have to buy gift boxes anymore! Thank you! Great video!❤
The tip about the cut lines facing each other is a good one. I mess that up almost every time! I'm definitely going to go through my papers to see which ones I can use to make boxes. TFS
@@CarolHildebrand-zu1kt I did the same thing. I wasted so many papers until i figured this out. Game changer for me.
Wow who knew.. I have tons of hot buy paper packs! Always those pages end up saved.. now they can be used!
Exactly. I have so many and I am determined to use them.
These boxes are gorgeous! Now I have ideas on how I can use this same paper pack that I have! They look easy enough to make. I love the idea of using these as decor pieces!! TFS! 😍🩷

Can’t wait to see what you put in those beautiful boxes
I’m working on it now.
what a great idea, I have lots of cardstock like this, thanks for sharing. I am going to try this out.😊
Great tip for using those big designs on 12 x 12 papers. TFS❤
Thank you for sharing 😊 from San Antonio, Texas
OMG I can hardly wait to make some boxes! Thanks, they are gorgeous.
I love these boxs. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Newbie here .. Hello 👋 .. I’m glad that UA-cam sent you my way ! Thank you 🙏 for the awesome tutorial !! I can vision using this technique for many different occasions !! Yay 😀
Have a great day!!
@@tinkerdee5923 Glad your here. You have a great day too.
These are such a great idea! I’ve got a lot of papers right now that need to be stored somehow, and now I can make boxes for them. I cut down real boxes for my papers, but they have no tops, and one wrong move, I’ve got a horrible mess to clean up. These are SO pretty too!❤
Oh honey, I tackled some of my mess today. I call it my happy mess.
Awesome project! Made box making seem so simple! Thank you 😊
@@judibradshaw1948 I’m so happy you enjoyed it.
Love this idea. I am a card maker and never knew what to do with those sheets.
Thanks for teaching us how to make beautiful boxes with the 12x12 sheets we didn’t know how or what to make with them! ❤❤
@@Melodypodrasky Thank you so much.
They are so beautiful
I love this idea, can’t wait to make some gift boxes
Love this idea going to definitely try, don't have a score board but still going to try😊
Use your paper cutter to score.
I find your glue tool very interesting, have never seen one
@@AudreyLizee I love mine. It’s so easy on the hands.
Hi I have arthritis in hand so squeezing glue bottles is an issue but I love the thing you have for squeezing out glue can you tell me what it’s called and where I could buy one, thank you in advance.😊
I have arthritis in my hands too and this ‘glue gun’ device would be a big help
@@Jane-j4p Eleven days since your question (7 days since my comment added to yours) and still no reply. Tells me everything I need to know about this channel 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
@@harpersmythe658 yes have to agree very disappointed
It's the Precision Glue Press by My Sweet Petunia. It's $34.99 plus shipping from several online stores. Google it and you'll have no problem finding a store and reviews.
It’s called Precision glue press and it’s sold by Taylored Expressions for $34.99. Hope that helps 😃
That was very, very helpful. I can’t wait to try that out. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow! What a great idea!
I always wondered what to do with these papers! Great idea
Wow I have a paper pad and didn't know what to do now I know thanks for this video. ❤❤❤❤
Hv done this for years. Great minds think alike!!
@@jeffrey4505 Cute boxes and so easy.
Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thank you for these great ideas! I can’t wait to try this out.
Great Idea, thank you for sharing.
I am excited to try this craft and use up 12 x 12 paper!
You are soooo talented!
I like the way you explained how to do this. I've made a few boxes that I struggled with. Your way I think I can make any size now.
Very pretty. Thanks for the inspiration for what to do with those pages. I also have many of them. I am new to your channel and am looking forward to how you use these. Hello from Alabama. TFS
How smart is this?! Great way to use up these style papers tfs
Thank you so much for this fantastic idea. I just made a box and it is perfect. I can’t wait to start putting gifts in them for my craft fairs!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! ❤
Great idea never thought of doing this
Your boxes are beautiful, Mel.
You can also make a shim out of acetate that you score to fit on the left side of the score board.
Great idea those boxes are awesome ❤❤❤
Great video. Now I can use up all my 12 X 12 paper packs
What is that glue dispenser called? It is so neat
@@AbuelitaPaloma it is called a Glue Press.

How clever is that! Great idea to use a difficult paper! 😊
Hi I was wondering where you bought your glue gun for glue bottles.
I got mine here.
www.maymaymadeit.com/products/my-sweet-petunia-precision-glue-press
I love it and use it all the time.
@@craftingchaoswithmelanie9947 thank you😊
I ❤️Maymaymadeit!! I knew I had seen them before, but I couldn’t remember where lol.
Where did you get the glue gun or applicator. That would certainly help my hand to not get tired.

I love mine.
Wonderful idea! I’m new to your channel. Thank you ❤
So cute and easy!
Hi Melanie, what a beautiful box❤😊
pink wreath is the best
If you take an extra fraction off the bottom when cutting out the lid will always fit perfectly.
😮Simply BEAUTIFUL 😍
Fab idea XX ❤
New follower this is great thank you❤
Welcome!!
Great use of those 12 x 12 pieces that are hard to cut down for card fronts or other paper crafts. I am curious what you do if you have any cracking in the paper when you score and fold it. I have found with the recollections paper I have that cracking is pretty common. Thanks for idea!
@@pattymongolo9643 I have had some issues too. But with this paper pad I didn’t have issues. I usually just go slow and work the paper.
This is a wonderful video! Thanks 😊 can you please tell me where you bought your scoreboard? Your scissors? The bone folder plastic thing you used? What kind of glue? And what kind of glue holder is that gun? It would be so awesome to know what you use and where to get those items.Thank you so very very much. I am 58 and Just retired and learning how to do some of these things. I've always wanted to do you but did not have time to do.Thank you so much.
Absolutely. I will tag all those items. Thank you for watching.
I just added the links for all you ask. I will make a master list this week so it’s in all my videos. Thank you so much for asking. If you have any other questions please ask.
New subscriber here. I didn’t know making a box would be so easy. Thank you. I wonder how well they would sell at a craft sale. I’m thinking of doing paper crafts this year.
@@marthadueck6461 That is a really good idea.
I really enjoyed where did you get the scoring plate that you used?
Love those boxes and the idea. I do have to ask, where did you get that glue gun? I see that my AGG bottle will not fit it. But my nerve damaged, arthritic hands think they would love it. 🤩😍🤩😍
Wow great idea! Thank you! New subscriber here 😆
Hi .. I'm new to Your channel .. Great idea and tutorial .. Thank You for sharing 🙂
Thank you so much. I’m so glad you’re here.
Love this video. Can you tell us where to get that paper pad you showed at the beginning?
You solved a problem I have with those paper pads.
Moving forward, have you created a video regarding the use of Paper Bundles as seen on Creative Fabrica or on Etsy ? Further on that topic, have you created a video demonstrating how one goes about creating their own bundles? (Focusing on the actual making of the sheets themselves and not on the discussion of niche s or what's trending now.)
I have not. I will check out Creative Fabrica digital papers. I have used their downloads before for my Cricut.
If you do the same size on top and bottom how will they fit together without buckling?
.
@@goldieff the score is smaller on the top so it makes it a bigger square. Does that make sense.
Gorgeous! Love your glue gun. Where can I purchase that?
Where did you find the "liquid glue gun?"
Hi here is where I got mine.
www.maymaymadeit.com/products/my-sweet-petunia-precision-glue-press?_pos=9&_sid=1bd871c9a&_ss=r
My 12x12 papers are coming out thankyou.
I make them boxes a lot
Where can I get one of those glue dispensers?
can you add link to the holder with squeese handle you used id like to buy one and what glue are you useing in it too please and thank you?
@@pollylaganella4251 Absolutely. www.maymaymadeit.com/products/my-sweet-petunia-precision-glue-press?_pos=9&_sid=b3203bfdb&_ss=r
I love mine and use it all the time.
I’m in UK and got mine from Bumbleberry Crafts. Well worth getting if you have hand issues
Lovely it. Is the pink Xmas pad a current from
Michael’s or old?
@@avedamontedesigns It was last year. But I’m sure they will have another one very similar this year.
@@avedamontedesigns This is last years. I’m sure they will have a similar one this year. They always do a pink style.
This paper is perfect for boxes.
I have made like 25 I think. Now I am doing the mini books and adding them to the boxes. And my customer gifts are done.
Hello
This is great video btw I’m a new subbie 😊
Thanks for subbing!
Lol, and where did you purchase your big ole spatula?
Where did you get your glue gun?
It looks like you did 1.5” on the top and the bottom. They were the same I think. Did I miss something?
@@goldieff I double check. Thank you for asking. I will look at it.
Ok one box I did do 1.5 score all the way around. The second I did 1.25. To your question. It works. Just make sure when you are gluing your top to glue the sides even with score. The bottom part you can glue the tabs in just a little. I hope this makes sense. If it doesn’t just let me know and I can help.
@@craftingchaoswithmelanie9947
Thank you
Where did you get that glue pump. Called it a pump for lack of better description!🤷♀️
I call it a glue thingy lol. It’s the Glue press. If you look in the description, there are two links for it.
Nice video. What is the weight of yourpaper. Is it paper or cardstock. Thanks
I have that paper pad and I think it’s 65 pound Michael’s recollection
@@goldieffso that’s card stock weight? Thanks
@@childreefarmsyes standard Michael’s cardstock weight is 65 lb I think.
The bottoms is 80lb cardstock.
What glue are you using? It looks like it is a gun.
I am using the Glue Press. You can get at MayMay Made it or Catherine Pooler Designs.
Did you do a follow-up for this video? What did you put in them? They aren't very sturdy...
@@4kiitieslady I am working on that now. And will have it up this week.
@@craftingchaoswithmelanie9947 😀
It’s a homemade box, so there are no mistakes just crafty goodness
@@greenlady43 100%.
Thank you so much 😂.
would like to see finoshed product sample in introduction.
That paper is very thin to make that big of a box and have it not crush easily. I make boxes quite a bit and use heavier weight paper. In this case, to use up these decorative papers, maybe adhering another piece of 12x12 (plain white would do, burnish it well and let it dry) to the backside before scoring and cutting so it’s doubly thick.
@@JustMeOnlyMeIndeed Thank you for the tip. I appreciate it.
Us gals will have a good day to
I learned to do this technique with Christmas cards many many years ago. I did just learn about the depth thing from you. Thank you.
I’m just curious why are these videos so long do they have short ones with the same information? Not sure why all these type of videos are so long. I get that you’re trying to explain something but we can always stop a video and then start up again. We can rewind it. Oh yeah, we can fast-forward. Thanks for showing these very, very interesting and cute
If you back off 1/8 of an inch on the bottom box, you won't have the buckling.
Just cut 2 mm of the bottom paper before you scor and it will fit perfectly
Too flimsy
@@cb5501 If you used a heavier weight cardstock for the bottom, it will make it stronger. For the purpose I am using, it works.
