Do you use templates for the boxes?

I am toying with buying a board but not sure if I'd use it enough?

I have the box maker board which is also fantastic.

I have become addicted to making the bookatrix cards, I like to try new ideas out which don`t involve peel off borders as I`m not a massive fan.

I`m hoping to get some more made this afternoon

Beautiful cards Poppy. I love the way you have used bright patterned papers, and the cat and dog cards are just brilliant. Did you use a downloaded template for them?

Thank you so much for the template flourgirl x My DS1 is back to school next week and DS2 starts at playschool 3 mornings a week so I am going to have some chunks of time to myself duing the day. I know I should use it to do more cleaning, ironing etc but think I will use some for me and settle down with a book or some crafting

rainmac love the cards on your blog, wish i could leave a post but at the moment, no bloggy thing for me. Tried again last night so I have'nt given up totally.

Poppy 'fess up now, are they templates that you make your cards with because they are a brilliant and different idea?

Hi ladies, fantastic cards as always! I struggle to keep up with this thread for some reason I do look at all your beautiful cards though.

The bookatrix templates I looked at a while ago think it was about £10 from a craft shop locally, but I notice there is only one on ebay with 10 bids! I was toying with the idea as I saw saveapennys beautiful creations ages ago, but never did as like most of you wasn't sure if I would actually use it. There must be a market out there for people who are willing to cut 5 or so cards using the template and then selling them on ebay? surely for 5 pre cut cards you could sell for a few £? I have to admit, having never done a bookatrix card that is what puts me off buying a template cause some of my cards are complete disasters and I get the feeling I would royally screw it up!!!
