Stampin' Up! Washi Tape Storage using Tag a Bag Gift Boxes

Stampin' Up! Washi Tape Storage using Tag a Bag Gift Boxes

A storage solution for you today! I was having a play and discovered that the Tag a Bag Gift Boxes are the perfect size for storing Stampin' Up!'s Designer Washi Tape.  Obviously I needed to decorate it as well.  

The boxes come flat packed but are super-easy to assemble, but before I did I stamped it using a stamp from Gorgeous Grunge and added some Retro Fresh Washi Tape. I then cut "Washi" from Tangerine Tango card using the Typeset Alphabet Bigz die (retiring).

So my Washi Tape is now organised rather than hidden under the chaos on my desk! How do you store yours?

Here are the main Stampin' Up! supplies used today. Remember you can now order online if you prefer - if you click on the image you will be directed to my online store where you can pop them into your shopping basket. If you would prefer not to order online please either email me or give me a call on07530 368466 and I will be happy to help.

Washi Tape & Stampin' Up! Just Sayin' Stamp Set

Washi Tape & Stampin' Up! Just Sayin' Stamp Set

The Stampin' Up! Team I am in "The Pinkies" have a fortnightly Creative Challenge and the current one is to use Washi Tape. Now obviously I have all the Stampin' Up! Washi Tape but never really know what to do with it!  I needed some cards to send out with orders so this project kind of morphed from that.

The notelets were easy peasy. I cut Very Vanilla card card bases (7.5cm x 15cm) so they fitted into the Stampin' Up Square Envelopes, a Coastal Cabana mat (7 x7 cm) and more Very Vanilla (6.5 x 6.5cm) for the top layer. I stamped Baked Brown Sugar splodges with Gorgeous Grunge and added stripes of Retro Fresh Designer Washi Tape. The sentiment is from the Just Sayin' stamp set cut out using the Big Shot and the Word Bubble Framelits.

Well then I obviously had to make a box for them - so grabbed the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and came up with this to fit the notelets. The slope was a "happy accident" as I added up my measurements incorrectly - I quite like it!  I love the Ruffle Stretch Trim for making belly bands and zig-zagged two pieces together on my sewing machine (so it still stretches).

So what do you think? Quick and easy to make - and would be a cute gift to give to someone.

We love Stampin' Up! Demo Support!

We love Stampin' Up! Demo Support!

#weloveDS - so what is this all about then?  Well at Stampin' Up! each country has a fantastic group of staff who provide support to Demonstrators and Customers alike called Demo Support and this week we want to show our love and appreciation for the lovely people who faithfully fix our messes, clear up confusion, and pass along our opinions, all with a smile and encouragement!

I have made this card which is winging its way to Germany as you read this. I wanted to use gold as they all deserve a gold medal!  This card was a nightmare to photograph so please excuse the slightly dodgy picture but you get the gist! I created the background using a stamp from Gorgeous Grunge , VersaMark ink and heat embossing with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder, and layered on some Watercolour Wonder Designer Washi Tape and Gold Sequin Trim.

I KNOW I have said this before but I love the Just Sayin' and Word Bubbles Framelits Dies (don't forget you save 15% if you order them as a bundle). Again I embossed the phrases in Gold. The card was finished with a couple of loose sequins, matted onto Gold Foil Sheet and a Night of Navy card base.

Hopefully they will like it - and more importantly know that we really do appreciate them!
