Can anyone recommend an online seller of boxes for these cards, if there is such a thing please?

Did buy a score board with box lines on reverse side and now find it invaluable as make boxes and shaped cards with it and use the lines to embellish cards - can get the framey effect without the framey board. The more you use a score board, the more you find uses for it, so worth an investment and it is a shame to make a nice card and not have a nice matching box Yvonne

Some one did put details of a website where you could buy stronger ones that would go through the post fairly recently but sorry can't remember details. Margaret x

If you would like the template please send me your email address and I can forward the template to you if you like, Penfold kindly allows use to share the templates. Gail

I use the groovy box maker, use 2 A4 sheets, no measuring score 1 on the box lid section and 1 on the box base section. Now mine is the very first one produced by Glenda waterworth and I find it invaluable. I can make my boxes in minutes. I use a wet glue to glue the corners and use mini bulldog clips to hold them in place while they dry- only minutes.
