Kelly’s Box Bag Video – Version 2

Uncategorized

31 Jul

Hello, Crafters.

(I’m resending this as I had a problem getting today’s blog set up. Please accept my sincere apologies if you are receiving this for the second time).

I
hope you’re enjoying the weekend. 

This morning I uploaded my video
called Kelly’s Box Bag. I’ve named it after Kelly Gettelfinger who posts
videos to YouTube as Always Stampin. 

I saw the video Kelly posted in
2012, where she showed how to make this box bag. It’s a One Sheet Wonder
and needs no cutting, just scoring and gluing. 

I’m often asked for one sheet wonder projects and this fits the bill brilliantly.

When I
started playing with this project on Friday, I played all day and came
up with some nice designs. It’s a delightful project and so very easy to follow.

Kelly
also showed how to turn the idea into a clutch bag which has a closure
at the top – again, another great project. The first box bag and box
clutch bag I made, I used non-Stampin’ Up! cardstock. I did that in case they didn’t work out properly! I needn’t have worried – they both worked out beautifully!

So
the first project I made with Stampin’ Up! products was the Lost Lagoon
Box Clutch Bag – photographs 5 & 6. The only problem I had, was
choosing what colour to use and this was determined by what 12 x 12
sheets I had, that I also had a co-ordinating Designer Series Paper
(DSP). 

Although the DSP I used for the clutch bag doesn’t have any Lost Lagoon in it, it blends in beautifully all the same!  I
used the Oval Layering Thinlits Dies for the flap and I used a magnet
for the closure. Velcro dots would work equally as well.
   
The
first Stampin’ Up! Cardstock Box Bag I made is the Very Vanilla one –
see photograph 7.This is where I really got carried away with myself! I
used the Flourish Thinlits Dies and die cut two of the large flourishes
as well as two of the decorative borders. 

I painted them all with the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Pen and glued them to the box. When
I attached the handles, I attached some of the new Very Vanilla Lace
Trim to run along the length of the handles.  I glued the end pieces
that tucked underneath and to the back of each handle. I really love
this design but it’s far too much to include in a video. 

Then
I decided I needed a design that I could make as part of my video
without the time getting too long. The Melon Mambo Box Bag you see in
Photographs 1 & 2 is the design I came up with.   

I
chose to use the Flower Shop and Petite Petals Stamp Sets, together
with the Pansy Punch and Petite Petals Punch as the decoration. Once I
had added those I felt it needed something more, so I added the two
quarter inch strips running along near the bottom of the bag. I think
these finish it off beautifully.

I
then had to choose what colour to use for the video! I have quite a
good selection of 12 x 12 cardstock but I don’t have much to choose from
in the way of current DSP. The  criteria I had was that it should have a
white background! I knew the script design in the Neutrals DSP Stack
had a white background in one of the colours. I found it was the Soft
Suede so I decided to go with it, although I did have reservations. I
think it has worked well and I’m very pleased with the result! 

I
hope you enjoy the video and let me know if you’d like to see how the
clutch bag is made. It’s almost identical to the box bag, the main
differences being, the fold at the side of the box and the flap.

Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.
