Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring designer series paper. This month, Stampin’ Up! have a special on designer series paper, buy 3, get 1 free! We hope our blog hop inspires you to get crafting with your designer series paper.
You may have come to my blog from Kate Morgan. Blog hops are full circles, so start blog hopping here and and the end of my post (and everyone else's) there is a link to the next post.
Here is a list of all the papers that are part of the buy 3, get 1 free promotion:
I have used the Under the Mistletoe designer series paper for both my projects today. I love how the one pack of Christmas paper has some many varied patterns and different looks to create many stunning projects.
I have two projects to share today and both were made using the simply scored scoring tool. While you can get a metric plate for the scoring tool, today I only used the original board on it's own.
Project 1 is a gift bag that you can slip the ribbon off sideways to make it reusable. I love how the gift bag makes the large print designer series paper a statement piece without being obnoxious.
I made my gift bag in an unusual way. I took a 8.5" x 12" of designer series paper and scored (and adhered it together) to create an open box and then used another small piece of designer series paper to create the flap (that I added on afterwards.) While this is not the traditional way to made a "bag" it saves designer series paper as usually you cut away a lot of excess paper and have small sections leftover with score lines.
The graphic may help explain what I did a little better.
Blue = adhesive, red = cut lines & green = paper you cut off and discard
Opps, I just noticed, I forgot to add adhesive lines for the base of the gift bag. My apologises!
Project 2 is an ornament made with real red cardstock and 1" pieces of designer series paper. I left the top of my ornament unsealed and closer to Christmas I may sneak some lollies or a small gift inside as a surprise for the recipient.
