Hand made gifts are a pure joy to receive. I recently receives a whole package full of hand crafted goodies from my lovely friend kay. In the package was this fab idea. A pocket decorated prettily with a note book pen and chocolate. The chocolate was quickly eaten and as I looked at Kays work I knew I had to have a go.
She here is my take on Kay's gift I just changed the design slightly, and no chocolate. Rather I added a notebook and some post it notes, since I have heaps of both that need using up. I added a mini gel pen which I added a tassel to which dangles prettily over the side of the pouch.
To finish I packaged it up simply using DSP as a backing and a topper. I utilised the Petal garden DSP and memories and more card pack to show that we can create fantastic projects from Stampin' Up! products even if we aren't big on stamping.
All the measurements and products are listed below and there is a step by step YouTube tutorial for you to follow so ...grab a brew get comfy and enjoy the video.
