To prepare for the Craft Fair that I attended at the weekend, I decided to use up some of the retired Designer Series Papers that I had left over but still loved.
I had so much fun creating a few 3D items from a whole host of left over card stock and papers.
Most women love a handbag, so I couldn’t resist but make this cute little handbag gift bag, embellished with a pretty little flower. The Banner Greetings tag that I used here comes from a Hostess set that you could acquire if you were to either host your own party with sales over £150, or obtain by joining my Hostess Club …. (Check out my Clubs Tab for more information).
This cute little bag was made from one sheet of 12×12 Designer Series paper. This paper has since been retired, but you can see what a beautiful gift bag you could create from any patterned paper.
I was asked to offer a Raffle Prize for the event and made one of these Gift Bags to hold a few Stampin’ Up! supplies that I coupled with a coordinating gift Voucher. I made it from retired DSP, but just loved the colours I chose, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant and a retired colour, Lucky Limeade. I’m sure the Pear Pizzazz would work well in it’s place though.
The sentiments used here are from the Really Good Greetings Stamp Set that offers 6 images that are all a little quirky.
I then decided to move on to making a box or two and decided to demonstrate making this cute little box whilst I was there. This box was made from the current Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper and coupled with a sentiment from the Chalk Talk Stamp Set … I just adore that set!
It’s amazing what you can achieve from one sheet of 12×12 DSP. I sat and made a few more of these throughout the day, using yet more Gingham Garden DSP. The variations were all equally as attractive.
There is a promotion on Designer Series Papers this month. Buy 3 and get one pack free. Just think how many of these boxes and bags you could make from that little stack of paper.
This week I need to get designing my forthcoming classes …. so look out for a few sneak peeks as the week goes on x
