How to Construct a Gift Bag with Magnetic Closure

How to Construct a Gift Bag with Magnetic Closure – Best Year – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

How cute are these? I struggled with the design for a cute little box for ages and then made this design my mistake and decided to stick with it. The pretty paper is from the Sweet Symmetry suite and gives this project a lovely summer vibe. I did two colour ways, Just Jude and Calypso Coral. Which do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

Sweet as a Peach – Gift Box for a Birthday Treat

Sweet as a Peach – Gift Box for a Birthday Treat – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

So pleased with how this came out. I used Calypso Coral cardstock. I never use this colour but oh my it looks good with this You’re a Peach designer series paper (DSP). The Pale PawPaw ribbon just finished it off perfectly. I have stored two little packets of biscuits in it for a sweet treat for someone special.

It Starts with Art – Friendship Card

It Starts with Art is one of my favourite stamp sets. The sentiments are super cute and the whole suite is superb for crafters everywhere.

I think this stamp set is also great for scrapbooking. You can make your own embellishments with the stamped images and matching dies. The dies also have extra pieces to make buttons, paper clips and such like.

Normally, I wouldn’t put Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana together but they actually work quite well. The images are all coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. There is no Coastal Cabana in the Stampin’ Blends so I used Pool Party and Bermuda Bay instead. They work well together.

other projects using this Suite

I love the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper (DSP). I have quite a bit of this paper still and I want to use it up. What do you suggest I make with it? I was thinking of another mini album to hold tags?#

As always there is a video tutorial and supply list below. Thank you for visiting and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Bespoke Notebook – Follow your Art

I made this cute little bespoke notebook using the gorgeous paper from the Follow your Art suite of products from Stampin’ Up! The actual notebooks is a pound shop find but I’ve made it something special using pretty papers. The notebook is the perfect size for you to carry around for the hundred and one things we have to try and remember.

I love making little altered items such as this bespoke notebook. I think it’s a great way to personalise something cheap and make it something special.

Follow your Art Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 4 1/8 x 5 3/4 inches

This is a simple and easy project to make and Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful coordinating products make it super easy to put together. The stamp set is an old one called Crafting Forever. I simply love the sentiment that reads “Crafting Forever, Housework Whenever”. This is so true for most of us. Personally, I know that I much prefer to be in my craft room than doing the washing up.

The DSP is covered in hot glue guns and little bottles of glitter, although equally they could be bottles of glue and a drill. This is what makes this paper so great as there is something for everyone.

Do you like to alter items? What bespoke items have you made? Leave me a comment and let me know.

I’ve done a video as always which is below along with the supply list.
