Stamperia’s Amazonia Memory Box Part 1 : Constructing the box Tutorial

[@sarabailey2103]

this project is going to be added to my 'to do' list. I love the style of this and the economical use of papers. Such a clear and easy to follow tutorial 🙂

[@paulford6686]

Wonderful! Look forward to hearing how it went.

[@nurseae]

Your work and tutorials are first class Paul, you need to be an ambassador for one of the big brand companies. Thank you so much for doing this 💝💝

[@paulford6686]

You’re too kind!

[@ritadarch9639]

I've made my box, just waiting for papers to arrive and your next tutorial. Your videos and explanations are so easy to follow, you make crafting a pure pleasure! 😍

[@paulford6686]

Excellent. Keep an eye out on Papercrafting With Paul! There may be some sneaky links!

[@chatiman3860]

I thought this video was the best. You are so detailed and explicit in you explanations, nothing was at all confusing, I feel quite confident in replicating this method. You didn’t need to apologise for being boring as I needed to watch every single second. I love this type of box and did not know that I could build it myself. Thank you so much for your excellent lesson.

[@paulford6686]

That is a lovely comment to read. I’m glad you found it helpful.

[@annettejamison5565]

Soo nice. You make it easy to follow. Beautifully finished product..

[@paulford6686]

Hopefully you’ll now feel confident to have a go

[@reEngineeredPaper]

Such a great box and tutorial. This is my next project, I can't wait to make this! Now I just need to choose my Design Paper- decisions, decisions.... Also, where do you buy your magnets? They sound very strong, I live in the United States, hopefully I can purchase them or at least get them shipped here. Thanks for the info! Love all your videos!

[@paulford6686]

I just buy from eBay. Type in 10mm by 0.5mm magnets.

[@joannewachel2505]

This is wonderful. Your instructions in your videos are the best. I just finished making the pop up butterfly card and it turned out so nice. I am saving it for my Daughter’s birthday in January because she loves butterflies. Thank you.

[@paulford6686]

That is so lovely to hear

[@lindavenus6620]

Boxes done as it was free Friday (no work) great video to follow as always with lots of helpful hints and tips for everyone

[@amandaharding3870]

Another amazing tutorial Paul, you made it so easy to understand, all your hints and tips are so helpful I will definitely be making this box over the bank holiday weekend, I literally can’t wait to watch all the other videos

Thank You Paul, i have found your flip lid box, i have my paper, ready to go, just found your play list, now to start, Hi from Australia!

[@paulford6686]

Enjoy the build!

[@sylviasaxby5768]

I’ve just discovered Paul Ford! and what an amazing discovery has been! PERFECT TUTORIAL! simple, clear instructions, (not an over the top tutorial-youtuber -voice, ie: “I’m going to hold the scissors in my hand to cut!” 🙄) straight to the point, concise, precise! 🤗 He should start a KZbinr Tutorials College! 😆

[@paulford6686]

That is one of the nicest comments I’ve ever read! Thank you so much!

[@DutchJoan]

Made one, one to go. But I don't have the construction tape so I started out with making the box with paper construction strips. Then I covered all sides of the pieces of the wrap with paper strips like you do with the tape. I hadn't thought about how to connect them though, should have thought of that earlier. The box doesn't look too bad but I keep seeing the imperfections. Alas, the second box will be better, I know what to do now 😂. Due to how I had to connect the pieces of the wrap I didn't glue the spine to the box. My lid lies flat on the surface when the box is open. Otherwise I feared my paper hinge would crack rather soon. But it still works.

[@paulford6686]

Glad you tried it and that you will improve too. It’s all a big learning curve.

[@lesleywalker2845]

Your box for Amazonia looks really good

[@paulford6686]

Thanks Lesley

[@mycraftingworldanna4142]

Love it great tutorial. Love how you mitre your corners.

[@paulford6686]

Glad you liked that method.

[@ngaireashdown6783]

New subscriber - I've just finished watching your video constructing this box and I have also watched making the wallets. Thank you so much for your great tutorials. I enjoyed them and I certainly will have a go myself. I love Stamperia papers and Graphic 45. It's going to be hard to choose which one to use first! Love from Australia xo

[@paulford6686]

Glad you have enjoyed it. You’ll enjoy the Facebook group and see all the ones the members have made using different papers and hopefully we’ll see yours there too when you are ready to share facebook.com/groups/334868694336217/

[@SuziMacCreations]

Just gotten round to making the box and all the wallets, now to decide on the papers, either G45 or Stamperia. will video when finished. Thank you for 7 amazing tutorials xx Cant find the wee cool Kats closures in the uk xx

[@paulford6686]

Oh what are the choices? This only uses one 12x12 Stamperia so maybe keep the G45 for another project?

[@debblws1961]

I just found your channel. Absolutely beautiful box. Looking forward to binge watching your other videos. I think I would use black card stock cause I’m a bit lazier than you. 😅 but would still need to reinforce the sides. The mitered corners with the paper is brilliant! Love how you did this.

[@paulford6686]

Glad you liked the mitred corners tips! Remember to share on my Facebook group if you have a go and let us know how the cardboard method works.

What kind of tape are you using?

[@paulford6686]

It’s called Construction Tape from My Creative Spirit

[@01doha]

Thank you so much, looking forward to this so much. Would love some of that tape, but although the tape is a reasonable price ($12), it’s $35 delivery to Australia, so I will have to look for an a,ternative 😜

[@paulford6686]

You don’t have to have tape at all. In the video I show construction strips (one inch wide and scored down the middle). This is a common method for box construction.

[@chatiman3860]

Hi, I am also from Australia and you can buy this at Papermaze if they have it in stock, at a good price.

[@chatiman3860]

I just gave you incorrect information as I thought you were talking about the Amazonia paper - sorry about that. But for the tape, have you checked out Bunnings? I have obtained some of the best tapes etc., especially for spines and bookbinding. I sound like an advert for these businesses, I am not they just swallow up a lot of my money in crafting supplies.

[@01doha]

@@chatiman3860 thanks, I will try Bunnings. I have tried the construction strips, just thought the tape looked so much better

[@chatiman3860]

@@01doha Hey, I just found Gorilla tape at Spotlight today it is only 1'' wide which seems to be hard to find these days, it is only $11 but it looks like a binding tape, it is so strong, well worth a look I reckon.

[@annettelatham8688]

Love the demo Would like to make one of these . Could you tell me where you buy your black tape from.

For boxes, the tape from My Creative Spirit. Cool Katz also make a good tape called Architape which is great for album spines.

Hi Paul. Would it be easy to conveart this box to be made from the 8 x8 paper pad , do you think? Woulf i need to reduce measurements by a third? Than k you . :-) x

[@paulford6686]

Resizing is fine but if you just reduced everything like that, the photo’s wouldn’t fit. I think I would halve the size of the box and keep to the smaller wallets.

For those of us in US [chipping makes it prohibitive to order from CreativeCatz] which tape off Amazon is best substitution? Still 'construction tape"? Width? Also, If I use black chip board [grey board to you] can I skip the initial step to tape all edges?

[@paulford6686]

Definitely can skip it and use ‘construction strips’ of card instead if the inside is black. I show this in the video as an alternative.

[@nurseae]

Hi Paul don’t know if it’s a KZbin glitch but parts 2-7 are only showing up in your playlist not when you click videos

[@paulford6686]

Not a glitch, I was releasing a video a day but think the playlist shows them all 🙈

[@Akkinavansteen]

Dat is good tape

[@paulford6686]

Yes it is

[@swollenteeth2744]

The box alone , the wrapping of edges took the whole 1 hour and 30 minutes of the video.

[@paulford6686]

Thanks for your thoughts. I didn’t want to skip any parts but did cut the board, build and decorate within that time. Sorry you didn’t enjoy the way I shared the tutorial.
