How to Make a Penguin Shopping List Cover

How to Make a Penguin Shopping List Cover – Penguin Playmates – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK – Crafting with Ashee.

I love, love, love how this came out. It is so cute!! I think my favourite critter on this paper is the sleeping fox. As some of you may know my team name is the “Crafty Foxes” so this really sang to me. This is made from two shopping list notebooks I got from a supermarket ages ago. So easy to make and a wonderful little gift to someone. It would be great to start jotting down any ideas you have for Christmas.

Come Sail Away Altered Notebook

I have this lovely altered notebook to share with you today. This project uses the Come Sail Away suite of products from Stampin’ Up! This suite includes a gorgeous stamp set; Sailing Home, designer series paper, memory and more cards and of course matching dies.

I am not normally a great sea person. I did think long and hard about buying this set but I’m really glad I did as I love it now. The designer series paper (DSP) is beautiful and is great for cards as well as altered items and mini albums.

Night of Navy cardstock – 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ scored on the long side at 4 1/8″ from each side
Come Sail Away DSP 3″ X 3 3/4″

I love altering little notebooks, candles and such like. I have a box full of things waiting to be “improved” through crafting. The little notebook used here is a handy jotter from Wilko and cost only pennies. This is a lovely cheap project to make to include as part of a party bag.

As always there is a video tutorial below and supply list

Mini Album – One Sheet Wonder

Mini Album made from one sheet of 12″ X 12″ cardstock with supplies from Stampin’ Up!

I have a mini album to share with you today. This is a great one sheet wonder project that uses only one sheet of 12″ x 12″ cardstock for the basic construction. I first found this project online when I became a demo back in 2012. I’ve tried to find my original source but it’s too long ago now.

Mini Album - One Sheet Wonder using supplies from Stampin' Up! — Mini Album – One Sheet Wonder using supplies from Stampin’ Up!

This is a very simple and easy project to make for a beginner crafter. It looks complicated but is not. I did this album as my first demonstration piece at my upline, Amanda Fowler’s team training and it was a hit.

Measurements

Black cardstock – 12″ x 12″ – scored on one side at 2″, 6″ & 10″ and then turned 90 degrees and scored again at 3″, 6″ & 9″.
Soft Suede cardstock – 1″ x 8″
Soft Suede cardstock – 4″ x 4″
Whisper White cardstock 2″ x 3″ x 8
Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP)
- 3 3/4″ x 2″ X 2
- 2 1/2″ x 3″ X 8
- 1 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ X 8

This mini-album can hold tags, little photos, sentiment quotes, really whatever you fancy. It is a great size to carry around as it fits into your hand well.

The paper used is the Pressed Petals speciality DSP which is thinner than our normal DSP but really great for projects such as this. You get 24 sheets in a pack so you have plenty of paper to use as you so wish.

There is a video tutorial for this great project and the supply list below.

My question for today is what is your favourite type of papercraft? Do you prefer to make cards, scrapbooking, mini albums or something else?

Thank you for stopping by and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!
