I decided to use Purple Posy as my main colour. This is a colour I haven’t used yet and decided that had to change. Unfortunately we no longer the Purple Posy ink pad but I used Blackberry Bliss and I think it works well together.

The Best Dressed suite is a great collection of the products. The highlight of which is the All Dressed Up dies. They include the die to make this beautiful handbag as well as a ton of accent pieces such as buckles and buttons. There are also dies to cut out the matching stamp set of lipstick, perfume bottles and shoes. The designer series paper (DSP) matches these images with the reverse side being lovely floral images.

Candy Cane Pouches – Stampin’ Up!

I make Candy Cane pouches every year. Normally, I use the envelope punch board but now it has retired. I really want it back!! This one is made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and label punches. I think they turned out pretty cute.

Wrapped in Plaid is one my favourite Christmas Designer Series Paper from this current catalogue. It is so elegant with the foiled elements on one side. In previous years, I’ve made this as gifts for my neighbours in lieu of baking biscuits. The funny thing is that although I’ve tons of these I don’t actually ever eat candy canes. I’m a Type 1 diabetic and actually chose to only eat sweets when my blood sugar falls low and I need to bring it up quickly.

measurements

  • Wrapped in Plaid 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper – (DSP) Scored at
    • 1 5/8″ on either side on one side
    • Turn paper by 90 degrees and score at 1″

You can hang these pouches from your tree by punching a hole in the top and threading some coordinating ribbon or twine through.

Other projects

I love making decorations or gifts for people. It means so much more when you have taken the time to make something rather than just buying a generic thing in a shop. I enjoy the process as well as as the giving of a handmade gift.

I think the melon mambo pink and silver foil DSP are a match made in heaven. This would be a perfect gift bag for a girly party, a hen night or even a silver wedding anniversary.

It is a grey and yucky day here in Lincoln. Everything outside is dark and grey. I love Melon Mambo as even on a horrid day weather-wise it can bring a spark of bold colour to my day. Which is your favourite Stampin’ Up! colour? Let me know in the comments section below.

I have a gift bag to share with you today using the Fable Friends stamp set. This is an amazing set and perfect children as well as anyone who loves cute and cuddly things.

I love the different blues in this bag. The night of navy really makes the whole thing pop. This bunny rabbit is so cute. He reminds me of cuddly toys and happy children. I am a sucker for cute and cuddly. I still have many of my cuddly toys from childhood including one bear that has travelled all over the world with me.

This bunny is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends. The blends are fast becoming one of my favourite colouring mediums. You just need to remember to stamp your image in Memento ink as opposed to Stazon.

Measurements

  • Seaside Spray Cardstock – 8 1/4″ x 10 3/4″ –
    • Scored on the 10 3/4″ side at
      • 1″, 5 1/8″, 6 1/8″, 10 1/4″
    • Scored on the 8 1/4″ side at 1″
  • Night of Navy Cardstock

  • Seaside Spray – In Color 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper 3″ x 6″
  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 ” X 1 3/4″

I think this bag would be perfect for a baby shower, a little boy’s birthday gift or even a grown-up child. There is a video tutorial and supply list below as always.

One Sheet Bag – A Little Lace

I have a simple one-sheet bag that uses the Little Lace stamp set from Stampin’ Up!. This is a great project for kids as the bag involves only scoring and no cutting. Therefore no scissors for little fingers to get caught in.

I first made a version of this bag when I did a make and take with a group of Girl Guiders in Hounslow, London. It was a great success and everyone went away feeling proud of their creations.

This is also a cheap bag to make as it only uses one sheet of whisper white cardstock. I stamped the bag using the A Little Lace stamp set. It is a red rubber stamp set and it stamps crisply giving a clean and elegant image. I actually chose Lovely Lipstick as the colour as I have the matching ribbon in that colour.

Measurements

  • Whisper White A4 sheet,
    • Score on the short side at 2 inches from each side
    • Score on the long side at 4 7/8 inches from each side

A bone folder is essential for this project. An investment in a good bone folder is worth its weight in gold. It will help you get crisp scorelines that fold easily and look professional. I love the Stampin’ Up! as it has a good weight to it.

I have done a video tutorial below with the supply list.
