Hi, I'm Donna. Having dabbled in most crafts, in the last few years I have moved towards papercrafts and, with the exception of spending time with my grandchildren, I love nothing more than making cards and 3D projects.

I hope you will join me on my KZread journey as I mess about with card, stamps, dies, colouring, sticky stuff and things that cut!

    This is a great bag. So pleased you came up with it. I’m definitely going to give it a go nearer to Christmas. I made the mistake of using metallic card for some similar bags I made last year that looked like Christmas baubles. I got in a mess with the glue as well😂. I was later given a tip that it can be removed with a little essential oil carefully dabbed on with a cotton bud before it dries, but I’ve not tried it yet myself❤❤❤

    Great box. I like the fastening idea but it looks like it needs to be made from a thicker card or maybe thin metal. Thanks for sharing your bag and box-making ideas; they are my favourite things to make❤❤❤

  • @DonnaDawkins
    @DonnaDawkinsАй бұрын

    Yes absolutely, although I did layer up the card it doesn't help that its a relatively small piece of cardstock and I don't think the metallic cardstock helps as it wrinkles when you bend it and makes it seem more flimsy, if that makes sense. I do like the idea of the fastening so will see if I can come up with a more substantial solution. Thank you for the positive feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
