Writing Paper and matching envelope gift folder with a pen

Hi

Today I want to share with you this paper and envelope gift folder that I've made. I think it would be great to gift to someone.

It'd be nice to maybe write a thank you note for a present received from someone.

I hand stamped every page of the notepad and again on the front of the envelopes. The pad is A6 in size and has 30 sheets I think ( I got it in a multipack of 4 for £1 from The Range) and I've got 10 envelopes in mine.

I will leave a link to the video tutorial below.

https://youtu.be/QmSblOwudgs

Also here is a list of the supplies I used:

Card measuring 11" x 7 1/2" score on the long side at 5 1/8" and 5 7/8" and fold to create the cover

DSP to decorate the cover- 4 pieces measuring 7 1/4" x 4 7/8"

Card measuring 3/4" x 7 1/4" to hold the notepad

Card (for pen holder) to measure 2" x 1 7/8" score on the short side at 3/8", 3/4", 1 1/8" and 1 1/2"

Copier paper (for envelopes)- 10 pieces measuring 6 1/2" x 6 1/2"

Envelope punch board

Stamp set of your choice ( I used Petal Palette for one and Watercolour words for the ones above)

Embellishments to decorate

Ribbon to secure the envelopes.

I hope you like this project.

Myths and Magic travellers notebook

Hi everyone

I hope you are well and having a good day.

I'm super excited about today's project!!

I just love the whole Magic and Myths suite that is available in the spring/ summer catalogue. From the 1st time I saw it I just knew I had to have them haha.

This is my 1st time making a travellers notebook and I love how it's turned out. It's so easy to do too and a great way to showcase those gorgeous papers. I used the matching stamp and die set to do the mermaid, seahorse and unicorn along with my Stampin blends to colour them in, then I added some wink of stella.
It would be so easy to alter the measurements depending what size note books you get.

On the tutorial I said I got the notebooks from Boots for £3 for 4....this was a mistake and they were actually 3 notebooks for £1 in the sale. I don't edit my videos so that's why I wanted to tell you the correct price on here.

I will leave below the measurements and all products I used:

Magical Day stamp set
Magical Mates framelits dies
Myths and Magic speciality DSP
Stampin Blends
1/8" handheld punch
Elastic cord (from my stash)
Laminator

Cover for notebooks
DSP measuring 8 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Outside cover
DSP measuring 8 1/4"x 5 1/2" score on the long side at 3 3/4", 4", 4 1/4" and 4 1/2"

For full instructions I've done a tutorial on YouTube, I will leave the link below.

I hope you like this project as much as I do and thanks for looking.

Quilted Christmas biscuit gift box

Hi everyone

I hope you are all well. Today's project is this lovely gift box that holds a tin of shortbread biscuits.

I don't normally use red and gold together as I prefer using silver. I have to admit though I love how this box turned out, especially with the little pop of Emerald Envy too.

I've used the Quilted Christmas DSP, The Little things stamp set and the ribbon is the crinkled seam binding ribbon.

I hope you like this project as much as I do. I will leave the link below to my video tutorial for all of you that would like to see how I made it.

Merry Music window candle box using Stampin Up supplies

Good evening everyone, I hope you are all well.

Here is my latest project for you all. These beautiful heart shaped candles I got from a shop called Tiger, I got 8 in a pack for only £2! What a bargain. They had them in this lovely pink colour and also in a red. I decided to opt for non traditional xmas colours by bringing in Melon Mambo.

I'm so pleased I did as I love the black/ pink colour combo. Let me know what you all think in the comments.

I used the Merry Music speciality DSP from Stampin Up as well as the Sweet and Sassy Framelit dies.

I've uploaded a tutorial to youtube for those of you who would like to make one of these boxes, here is the link below:

Card and matching gift box using hand stamped DSP

Hi everyone

The team that I'm in had a challenge this week to make a couple of project using our own hand stamped DSP.
This is not something I do very often as I'm always sure I will mess it up haha.

Anyway I thought I'd share with you all what I came up with...I'm actually really pleased with the results and I hope you like it too.

I hand stamped a full sheet of A4 Whisper white card to create my DSP. I used the Blooms and Wishes stamp set and Smoky Slate and Powder Pink inks.

Here's what I used to make each project:

Card:

Smoky Slate card measuring 11 3/4" x 4 1/4" scored on long side at 5 7/8" to create a top folding card base.

DSP Matt measuring 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Pretty Label punch

Blooms and Wishes stamp set

silver metallic ribbon

1/8" silver ribbon

scraps of whisper white and smoky slate for the sentiment

Gift Box:

Smoky slate card measuring 9 1/8" x 5 1/8" score on the long side at 1 1/8", 4", 5 1/8" and 8". Then score on the short side at 1 1/8" and 4"

cut up the score lines on the long side and make tabs from the squares, then fold up to create your box.

DSP matt measuring 2 5/8" x 2 5/8" and then 3pieces measuring 2 5/8" x 7/8"

Blooms and Wishes stamp set and scraps of whisper white and smoky slate for the sentiment

1/8" silver ribbon
