Using Up Your Paper Stash

 Hi Crafters

Well with my New Years resolution to clear out and use what is in stock, I decided to make a Stationary gift Set. I had some hardboard purchased for album covers and plenty of card stacks so thought I would make a great collection of Stationary items, starting with a clipboard. I covered the clipboard with some lovely papers from “The Riverbank” by Hackney & Co Premium Collection, which are all double sided papers, and then used matching papers to add 6 cards and envelopes. Next I covered a little notepad and finished it all off with an envelope folder and some notelets.

All of the items  I have made before, but putting them all together and planning them as a set was something new. I also had some clips I had made and one of them was a lovely wooden clip with a deer on it that went beautifully with the paper used to make the set. 

Here are some pictures of the set and the items that made up the individual pieces.

I then stack the set together on top of the clipboard, tied it up with matching ribbon and it will be presented in a cello bag, with a bag topper. 

For anyone that likes stationary this is a great mix of items all of them pretty and practical, the folder and clipboard can be used even after the other items are finished. 

I liked this set so much and enjoyed making it I decided to make another set with papers from G.C.D. Studio called Paris Nights. Will post pictures of this tomorrow.
