I love making little gift boxes and bags. I’ve made this style before but I just love how cute it looks. The binder clip closure is just something different. It also uses up my huge stash of clips. I love stationery and have a collection of different paper clips, binder clips and lots more. Sad but true.

The paper is the Harvest Meadow designer series paper (DSP) and I love these bright and joyful colours. This gift box uses Bumble Bee and Misty Moonlight. These are both primary colours and work well together.

This is a bag but it has a rectangular base like a box. As the patterned paper is wrapped around the base there are no corners but rather these lovely curves instead. I’ve made this bag before earlier this year and wanted to try it again for Autumn with this Harvest Meadow designer series paper (DSP).

measurements

  • Bumble Bee Cardstock – 5″ X 4″ scored at 1″ on all sides
  • Harvest Meadow DSP – 4″ X 10 1/2″
  • Misty Moonlight Cardstock 10″ X 1″ scored at 1/2″ on the short side X 2 pieces

Making a Quick Watercolour Card – Feels Like Home

I love to watercolour. It is so soothing. The effect is gorgeous as well. The watercolour pencils are a great way to start as they give you control. Watercolour painting is very forgiving so why not give it a try?

I’ve used shimmery white cardstock here. You could use Fluid 100 watercolour paper but don’t use basic white as the paper is not strong enough to cope with all the water. Right paper for the job and you are halfway there already.

measurements

  • Cajun Craze A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper – (DSP) – 14.35cm X 10cm

A simple and beautiful card for a sad occasion. I backed the focal image on the designer series paper that is matted on the cardbase. Gutting means cutting out the interior of the paper leaving just a shell. I used the Stampin’ Up! trimmer which makes this so easy. This is a great way to save paper and stretch your supplies.

  • Harvest Meadow – 13.85cm X 9.5cm
