Crafters are Cool!

I've been using an Envelope Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers.  It's a great tool, but it has a few flaws:  1) the instructions printed on it are in a beautiful color but it is hard to read and small; and 2) it only lists so many sizes.  I've been struggling with the instructions--using a magnifying glass to look at it-- and it is so frustrating, so I retyped the sizes and printed/laminated it.  (If you'd like a copy just email me or comment below and I'll gladly share the pdf.)  So problem #1 is solved.  

Someone solved problem #2, and here is a link for it.  It works great for those odd size envelopes you need to make.  I actually wanted an envelope to put on a scrapbook page that would hold some memorabilia.  Viola!  Made my envelope in a snap using this great resource.  They even have it as an app for your phone.  I'm loving it.  Go check it out!

So, as I stated in my title, crafters are cool.  I love that they share their work, tips and shortcuts to help and inspire other crafters.  So here's a THANK YOU Crafter's Key and all the other crafters sharing their knowledge.
