How do I make a shadow box with this punch board?

Create a finished shadow box in just a few steps using the board’s layout marks and corner punch. Cut to the indicated size, score the four sides, punch the corners, rotate and repeat; then fold along scores and tuck the tabs to form the box.

• Follow printed size guide for 2", 3", 4" or 5" boxes.
• Score four lines per side, then punch corner notches.
• Flip and punch each corner twice for secure tabs.
• Fold scored lines and tuck tabs into angled slots to assemble.

What materials and thicknesses work best?

The BAOFALI board is designed for common paper-crafting stocks—cardstock, patterned paper and craft weight board—so you get crisp scores and clean punches without bulky effort. Very thick chipboard may need trimming; lightweight paper may require reinforcement for boxes meant to hold weight.

• Best: 65–110 lb (175–300 gsm) cardstock for clean structure.
• Acceptable: patterned paper and light craft board with careful folding.
• Avoid: very thick chipboard without test cuts first.
• Use adhesive or reinforcing strips for heavier contents.

Which projects can I make beyond a basic shadow box?

The punch board supports a range of dimensional paper crafts: personalised advent windows, layered scene cards, gift containers, and decorative sleeves for photos or small keepsakes. Its scoring tool and corner punches let you produce repeatable templates for multi-piece projects and matching envelopes or inserts.

• Pop-up and layered greeting cards with inset boxes.
• Mini gift boxes and party favor containers in four sizes.
• Scrapbook frames, photo sleeves and display inserts.
• Advent calendars and multi-paneled paper displays.

How portable and beginner-friendly is the kit?

The BAOFALI punch board is compact and lightweight, designed to tuck into a craft bag for on-the-go work or workshops. It includes clear instructions and an ergonomic scoring tool so beginners can learn reliable cuts and folds, while experienced makers can speed through multiple pieces.

• Dimensions approx. 20.7 x 25.8 x 4.6 cm — easy to carry.
• Includes a scoring tool and printed step-by-step guide.
• Simple layout marks reduce measuring and errors.
• Durable construction for repeated use at home or events.
