It's Boxing Day!


Here's a quick pic of my progress so far. In the background you can see my original template, which I sketched on to get initial layout ideas. I found this really helpful for figuring out what direction everything needed to be in for printing. In the foreground is my current version. I'm happy with the quality of the print and the design, but the craftsmanship isn't perfect. I doubled up the cardstock to make is super sturdy, but this resulted in the folds not being as crisp as they should be. I might have to make the final version in single ply and hope that it's strong enough. Also, I had to tape the corners to keep it from opening up. Has anyone else found a better solution? Glue seems far too messy for this type of project.
