Tote in style!
I’m always looking for ways to create unique gift sets for family and friends. It’s easy to do when you combine
your love for scrapbooking with preserving family memories. These days we are all looking for ways to save
money, yet not sacrifice the joy in giving gifts to others. I find making my own gifts affordable and
personalized to the recipient. Stamp sets are a great value because you can use them over and over again.
Here I embellished a small canvas tote that I purchased from the local craft store and created an album to fit
inside. Here are the supplies and instructions on how I made this set….
Materials:
Zutter 4” x 4” Canvas Art Board Covers
Zutter Antique ¾” O’Wires
Helmar Gemstone Glue
Stampendous! Four Flower Squares Set
Hirschberg Schutz & Col. It’s so me! Canvas Bag
Bo-bunny Ribbon
Mark Richards Crystal Accents
Memories Black Ink Pad & Cardstock
Pentel Fabric Fun Pastel Dye Sticks
Designer Instructions:
1. Using Stampendous! Four Flowers Square SSC171 Set, stamp the canvas tote with permanent ink.
2. With fabric crayons, color in the flower petals.
3. Use Helmar Gemstone Glue to secure the gems on the tote bag.
4. To create the mini album, I used Zutter Canvas Covers.
5. Brush the cover with green acrylic paint. Once the paint dried I stamped a flower on the cover.
6. With the Zutter DreamKuts I cut out coordinating cardstock for album pages, I used bright green
cardstock.
7. Then bind it all together with the Zutter Bind-it-All tool and the ¾” Black O’Wire.
8. Embellish the album cover by coloring the flower with fabric crayons.
9. Apply black gems to the cover using Helmar Gemstone Glue.
10. Tie ribbons on the album and tote.
11.Tuck the album in the tote and use as a gift.
I live in the beautiful Carolinas, and I'm a wife to a very supportive husband. I'm a mother of three
children, two in college and a senior in high school. I work full-time at a school and design on the
side for manufacturers of scrapbook products. My mother gave
me my first scrapbook at age twelve, and I've been collecting photos, cards and memorabilia ever
since. Although the term scrapbooking wasn't officially a part of my vocabulary then, my love of
crafts, hobbies and photography have been a major part of my life. For me, scrapbooking is a
creative outlet, an art form, a style of therapy and a way to express my love for family and friends.
My weakness, if there if I am to confess one, is that I want every new tool and gadget on the
market. These items are the foundation for all of my crafts and hobbies aiding me in the creative
process.
I am thrilled to be part of the Zutter Zisters Bind –It-All Design Team and working with Zutter
Innovative Products. I invite you to visit my blog at www.tishtreadaway.blogspot.com.
