Packing

29 April, 2009 12 Comments

backpack1Well I am packing … to go to Canberra in the morning! I am really looking forward to meeting all the demo’s I know so well from our online groups but also looking forward to those friends interstate that I only get to see once a year (and some twice ;) )

Speaking of packing …. here’s a gorgeous little back pack I made recently with the lovely new Designer Series Paper pack Good Morning Sunshine.

I followed a tutorial that was rewritten for metric measurements by the very lovely and talented Kerri Hunter - who I will be seeing again this weekend!

These little backpacks are gorgeous and lots of fun to make. You can pop absolutely anything in them so you could make them for a new baby, new job, 21st or any occassion – how about making one for mum for mother’s day and filling it with her favourite things and maybe a pandora or two?? wonder if my hubby will read this?? suppose I’ll find out next weekend!

I’ve used the very lovely Designer brads as the closures on the top flap and the lower pocket and how nice is this paper? I love the colours and the funky design. backpack2

Here’s a photo of the same backpack showing the ‘straps’ at the back!

Now over the next few days I’ll be sharing some projects with you featuring the new Designer Series Papers in the new Idea Book and Catalogue. Why? well not just cos they are all gorgeous but also we have a special promotion in May for the Designer Series Papers.

From 1st – 31st May when you purchase 3 packs of the Designer Series Papers you will receive the fourth set absolutely free! So now is the perfect time to stock up on your papers!

Also, as a special bonus and just through me I will give a special bonus free gift to anyone ordering 6 packs of Designer Series Paper – so not only will you get 2 free packs of Designer Series Papers but you’ll also get an extra freebie from me!

Well I’m off in the morning and hope to be popping in from time to time to share some highlights from convention.

Have a great weekend and dont forget to grab some ‘me’ time and put your feet up and have a cuppa!

Grab your Backpack!

13 November, 2008 10 Comments

I’ve seen these gorgeous creations all over the stmapin blog world and decided it was time to make one!

My upline, Tracey visited me on Tuesday so we sat down and made one of these each. Mind you we’ve been having such terrible connection to the internet problems it took a while for the tutorial to load but it eventually did so off we went creating! You can find the tutorial for these gorgeous bags on Paula Goff’s blog.

When I first saw these backpacks I thought they’d be terrible fiddly but they arent really. They are quite easy to do once you get past all the scoring and such.

I’ve used chocolate chip for my cardstock colour and the Afternoon Tea Designer Series Papers which will be in the upcoming Summer Mini Catalogue. I must say those papers are just sooooooo nice as is all the other products in the new mini!

The flower embellishments are from the Live Your Dream stamp set which will also be in the upcoming Summer Mini.

I stamped the flowers in the Groovy Guava Classic Ink Pad and then used my Stampin Write markers to put pumpkin pie around the edges of the flower and chocolate chip on the dots in the centre of the flowers.I also used stampin dimensionals to lift two of the flowers and to give it a little dimension.

Remember you can purchase the markers individually for just $4.95 each until 30th November.

Now what is a back pack without straps??

I’ve just used the very vanilla wide grosgrain ribbon for the straps.

How cute is this backpack … this would be a great idea for Christmas gifts like gift cards, gift vouchers, jewellery (I can just see a Pandora Bracelet & charms inside!!), chocolates or even a selection of small cards and envelopes.

If you’d like to do this in a class then ring or email me for dates and details.
