With the new year, I decided I needed to get more organized so I thought I would use Topstitch, one of my favorite new paper packets, to create a couple of projects to help organize the massive amounts of craft supplies that I have. The first project is a little set of drawers made out of cardstock. I found the template for these “darling drawers” here. I loved hers so I thought I would make a couple sets for myself to help organize some of the embellishments that I use frequently. I plan to keep them on my desk within easy reach.
I used some Corduroy Brads from the Autumn Garden and Winter Cozy Mini-Medley Collections to make some fun paper flowers. To make each flower, I punched 4 pieces of Topstitch B&T papers using my Extra Jumbo Marvy Scallop Circle punch. Then I inked the edges with Chocolate Ink and used the brad in the middle to hold them together. Then I scrunched up the edges to form the flower shape. You can get more step by step instructions here.
My next project was simply altering a couple of ScrapOnizer Organization Sets that I got from HSN a couple of weeks ago. I loved how they turned out. (They look really cute on my shelf.)
This is what they looked like before I altered them...
This is what they look like now...
This is a closeup of one of the chipboard labels on the front.
By sponging some Chocolate ink on it, it almost gives it a suede-type look.
As mentioned earlier, I used the adorable Topstitch paper packet. I also used two chipboard labels from the Booksmart Collection. I sponged some Chocolate ink on them and added a couple of Pewter Brads. The labels on the front of the box and on the side of the cases were printed on my computer. Now if I can just get the rest of my life organized, I will be all set! LOL!By sponging some Chocolate ink on it, it almost gives it a suede-type look.
