We R Memory KeepersMini Envelope Punch Board

I first saw this product being demonstrated on a certain Craft TV channel where it was being sold with some "baker's twine" for £29.99, I liked what I saw just didn't like the price so when I found it on Amazon at less than half that price I bought it.I make jewellery & jewellery needs boxes. This is a great product and is easy to use to make an assortment of boxes for rings, pendants and bracelets. Bigger boxes are a great size for sweets and giving a great presentation for your cupcakes. A nicely made box can make a simple gift look luxurious. I like to use a thicker card stock for making the boxes. I like a pearlised or a matt foiled card run through an embossing folder as a lovely base to work with. I also take a strip of matching card and make it into a band to wrap around the box which not only looks good but also helps the box to stay closed.Some of the taller, narrower boxes seem to have most of the internal space taken up with folded card but this problem can be solved by either cutting the flaps so only one thickness is used or by placing the flaps on the outside of the box.

Works perfectly for a nice sized gift bag. However, be careful it can become addictive making gift bags, I have certainly saved a considerable amount of money on gift bags, especially as I use reclaimed card.

Loved this makes a lovely backpack.

Handy gadget to make frames for cards. Bit expensive for what it is.

A neat little punch board that produces professional looking gift bags. The largest size of paper to use to make the biggest bag is approximately 30cm square so it's not for enormous bags. I used paper that was approx. 25cm wide by approx. 20cm tall (the smallest size bag); the finished bag is approx 7cm wide by 5cm deep by 17cm tall and will easily hold something like chocolates or small cosmetic items or a bottle of perfume. I like that the additional function of the punch is to make neat holes in the top of the bag so ribbon can be threaded through for a tie.The instructions are good but it is a tricky design so I watched an easily accessed Youtube video and found that much more helpful. I much prefer to pop a present in a gift bag than struggle with wrapping paper and sellotape so I'm going to have fun experimenting with this and making my own bags. I'm going to see what happens if I use the recycled paper that Amazon loves to use as protection in boxes; if it works then the children can decorate the bags for me one rainy day!

Just so easy to make little gift bags. I have made the size to put small gifts in as that was what I needed. It doesn't make a varied amount of sizes in width but does vary in length. Overall I am very happy with the board. It is well constructed, easy to follow instructions and a sturdy scoring tool that can be nicely stored away in the compartment on the board so not lost. The board isn't too big so easy to store. I have the set of boards now in this range and very happy with them.

I was really excited and couldn't wait for this board to arrive and when it finally did - I hesitated to open it up and use it! I think it's because it looked so fragile and delicate and I thought maybe I would break it or damage it in someway, but I found when I finally started handling the board and using it that it is quite a sturdy little device and can make a variety of lovely little gift bags in different heights and widths. It does take a little while to understand the concept of how it works, but once you do, it is a brilliant little device and I think even if you aren't a into crafting like I am you should buy it out of necessity and put your own spin on a gift bag for a loved one.

A great idea but as someone else has mentioned white writing on a pale blue background is almost impossible to read. I had to get a magnifier and good light to see it and then it wasn’t easy, I’ve had to print a card out with measurements on it to save frustration every time I use it. I also own the larger board and with both of them they are not consistently accurate no matter how careful I am. Nevertheless they are very useful. I find with a lot of WRMK products you cannot rely on getting a decent product every time, very hit and miss. More quality checks needed before hitting the market.
