This week, I made a gift bag during my Wednesday night Facebook Live. This bag uses two sheets of Designer Series Paper plus extra for the handles (although you could always use coordinating Cardstock).
The paper I used is the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which is the Product of the Month for February - more details below.
I also created a couple of quick cards. I used layouts that could be used to create a multitude of cards, great to have on hand when you need a card!
I hope this project inspires you to use your Designer Series Paper!
You can watch the full tutorial on my YouTube channel - just click the link below to see how it came together, step by step. I’d love to know what you think. If you give it a go, be sure to share your version with me!
