THANK YOU!!!!!!! I have been TOTALLY lost with how to use the different calculators out there. I knew there was a simple thing I was missing, but couldn't figure out was it was for the life of me! Your video cleared it up - turn the paper 180*, not 90* after the first cut. You are my new best friend!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kdub908]

I can't believe that this has been available for 6 1/6 years and I've only just found it - how magnificent!! Thank you so, so much :)

[@TheCraftyOwlUK]

You're very welcome! Glad you've found me at last!

[@jeangemmel7895]

This is an excellent tutorial. Your polka dot box would be excellent left open and filled with faux flowers for, say hospital patients etc and generally just giving flowers to anyone who loves them. Thanky uo for this xx Jean from Scotland. Just noticed the tutorial is 9 years old, still good and relevant!

[@shellyrene5708]

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I followed your instructions but since I don’t have an envelope punch board, I used my gift box punch board and it was perfect not to mention that the gift card punch board has an extended arm for the score lines! I glued two pieces of card together to give me a sturdier box! I love it! Thank you for showing me that there is more to these punch boards!
