Hi everyone Karen here with you today to share something quite different that I created with scrapbooking paper.
Using the gorgeous ‘Little You’ product line from Crate Paper, I created a stationery box to store keepsakes. I know I’m not the only mother out there with plenty of little pieces of memorabilia that need to be stored away for safekeeping. This little box is perfect. Very versatile as well, it could be a gift box for someone who is having a birthday too.
Firstly I searched the ever faithful Pinterest for a gift box DIY. I found a great template and then started ruling up and cutting away.
I created two boxes the second one being a little bigger for the top. They were really simple to create & don’t worry there’s plenty of tutorials on creating these on the Internet.
Next I punched out some circles from the patterned paper from the ‘Little You’ collection & using my sewing machine I made a garland by stitching the circles together, I then used this to tie around the box. A lovely little addition I think.
Finishing off with some of the ephemera die cuts from the same collection tied together with some twine I had in my studio.
I’m totally in love with the ‘Little You’ collection and how this keepsake turned out. I hope I’ve inspired you to try something different with you patterned paper next time you’re creating.
Happy paper crafting, Karen.
