Tutti-Frtti Notebooks

I've been using the new Tutti-Frutti DSP from Stampin Up's 2018 Occasions Catalogue. The sheets have cute images and vivid colours which I thought were great for these small A5 notebooks. These notebooks show just some of the wonderful designs in this suite. They're fun and easy to make. too!

Gold Traveller's Notebook

I've used Stampin'Up's gorgeous Year of Cheer designer series paper to make the cover of a traveller's notebook. These handy little books seem to be all the rage at the moment. The cover is decorated with a gold foil snowflake and a gold embellishment both of which belong to the Year of Cheer suite.

The book contains three signatures which can be removed and replaced with new pages - just cut an A4 sheet in two, fold in half and slip under the elastic.  They are an ideal size for slipping into your handbag.

Origami Christmas Tree Ornament

This is a gorgeous Christmas tree ornament that uses no adhesive. I got the idea from The Paper Pixie, Julia DiMatteo, who has made an easy to follow tutorial. You can find her blog here
I've used the beautiful Year of Cheer designer series paper and gold trim ribbon.

Christmas Cards using Year of Cheer

Another 2 cards made using the Year of Cheer products - designer series paper, washi tape and stamp set. I've made 2 each of these. Along with the card I showed in my previous blog, these 5 cards and their envelopes will be placed into one of Stampin' Up's new acetate boxes.

An Early Christmas Card using Year of Cheer

The Year of Cheer suite from the Holiday Catalogue inspired this early Christmas card. The Designer Series Paper is just gorgeous! I've teamed one of the designs with some thin, gold washi tape, an embossed sentiment and some fine gold thread. My plan is to make a few different card designs and put the cards into one of the wonderful new acetate boxes - also available in the Holiday Catalogue.

Notebooks using Pick-a-Pattern and Delightful Daisy DSPs

                        

I've been interested in the many examples of travellers notebooks on Pinterest lately. These are some examples of laminated notebooks I've made using some of the current Stampin' Up designer series paper as well as some older papers I had in my stash. The cover is laminated and the inside signatures are removable and can be refilled with half sheets of A4 copy paper. They are a great size for your handbag and can be used for notes, keeping receipts, photos - whatever you like!

Delightful Daisy DSP

These two boxes have been made using the Delightful Daisy DSP. The Daisy Punch was used to add detail to the daisy box and some gold embossing added a bit of glamour to the lovely muted colours of the other box.
