Hi creative friends,
This weeks Design Team inspiration for the Fabulously Retro kit comes from Linda of Chuckles’n’Charm in Canada and Nicola of My Shabby Craft Corner in the UK.
If you haven’t picked up the new April kit, Fabulously Retro, it’s available in my Etsy store in two convenient sizes: A4 and Letter (USA).

Linda ~ Chuckles’n’Charm
Linda has created two fun projects that are fabulous for gift giving.
There isn’t a tutorial, as the projects are intended as inspiration on how you can mix the elements and papers of the kit to create a plethora of paper projects.
The first one is the cutest little paper gift bag with a handle.
Linda has used elements from the kit to decorate the front of the bag.
Linda’s second project is a very clever loaded pocket in a box.
The pockets flip forward to reveal the pockets behind. They are filled with postcards, tags and fussy cuts.
You can see all the amazing photos of this clever project in our Simply Shabbilicious Facebook group
Linda has decorated the box lid with one of the kit decorative papers and used the red check paper for the rest of the box.
Wouldn’t this make for a great gift and card all in one. A store gift card could be tucked into one of the pockets.
For a group gift, each person could write on one of the included tags or postcards.
Thanks for sharing these fabulous projects Linda. ♥
They are super fun!
To see more of what Linda makes, you can connect with her on her new YouTube channel, Chuckles n Charm and on Facebook.
