Stamp Club Saturday: Gusseted Gift Bag

Hello, so glad you stopped by!

At Stamp Club Saturday we made a gusseted gift bag from one sheet of 12×12 DSP (Designer Series Paper)!

On one end of the DSP, Score at 4 1/4″, 5″, 10″, 10 3/4″, 11 1/2″

On the opposite side, Score at 1″ and 11″

After Scoring, you want to cut in a few strategic places to make the flaps of the bag.  Like shown in the photos below:

Add ribbon, a tag, some goodies, and your gift bag is complete.

Fill bag with a baby onesie, socks, or chocolate bars.  Make a care package with chapstick, tissues, gum, mints, nail file etc.  What will you put in the bag you make ?

Supplies Used:

Happy Forest Friends Stamp Set and Dies

Happy Forest DSP

Calypso Coral and Basic Grey Ink

Old Olive and Basic White Cardstock

Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (comes in white and can be colored or dyed to match whatever you’re working on)

Baker’s Twine Essentials

Tailor Made Tags Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Stamp Club Saturday: Rare and Precious Pearl Notebook

It’s a new year, and time for a new notepad, but not a plain notepad.  I love lists, love making lists, and love making lists about my lists.  Journals from Double Edge Notes will even let you “tag” your lists (or any of your notes) with their Table of Contents Page.  Double Edge Notes Journal

As a card makers or paper crafter, I like to decorate my books!

For January’s Stamp Club Project, we created this adorable covered notebook.  It’s just a simple 5×7 note pad cut in half (Staples will cut them in half for a small fee).

Here’s the inside:

Saturday Morning Stamp Club: Covered Composition Notebook

It has become a stamp club tradition to create customized / personalized notebooks.

Here’s this months version….

The insides are decorated as well.  A flat glassine bag has been added to secure a note you might want to give your recipient — that’s assuming you will be giving it away!!

DSP is cut to 9 x 12 for the covers, and 9 x 7 for the liners.  You will need two each.  When adhering DSP to your notebook, do not be conservative — use LOTS — it would be awful for your beautiful notebook to fall apart!!!

Who will you give a personalized notebook too ?

If you plan on keeping it for yourself, what will you write in it ?

Better yet, make two — one to give, and one to keep!!!

Happy Stamping!  Bye for now, Maria

Saturday Morning Stamp Club: Happy Birthday

At August Stamp Club we used a “Masking” Technique.  The open area, where the sentiment is, has been “masked.”

We stamped an all over pattern while “masking” a space to stamp the Happy Birthday Sentiment.

{TIP} My super savvy niece created this lovely masking template.  Slide your card stock under the strip of paper.  Notice the dark black line across the bottom.  Line the bottom of your card stock with that line so the spot you’re “masking” will be the same area on each cards.  This way all your cards will have a uniform look if you are making a set of cards to give away!

Stamps and Supplies:

  • Birthday Blossoms
  • Pear Pizzaz, Sweet Sugarplum, Very Vanilla Cardtock
  • Pear Pizza, Peach Peekaboo, Sweet Sugarplum Ink
  • Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Happy Stamping!  Keep shining, Maria
