Hello, Crafty Makers
Yesterday, I shared a gift card/tag pouch that I created using old book pages. I mentioned that I deviated a little from the tutorial by using text weight stationery paper as backing. After I completed that project, I thought I would try using some kraft packing paper as backing for my pages and it worked pretty well. I have tons of this packing paper and I want to use it creatively. I used to make flowers with it and I plan to revisit that technique in the coming weeks.

I am hoping that creating these small packets will help me improve my ability to create focal clusters. I want to work on adding five or more elements to a cluster. For this one, however, I felt that a small grouping would work better.
These pouches are great stash reducers. In this case, I used scrap lace and papers. Even the white die cut is a scrap piece. I need to work on my stitching, though!
The most time-consuming part of this process is creating your focal group. Probably the best strategy is to create a bunch at one time and then when you want to give a gift card or money, you can create an appropriate pouch. I think I might do a wedding themed pouch. How fun would that be?
Hugz,
