Happy Sunday everyone! Today I’ll be kicking off my For the Books series! I have four projects for this week to showcase with this fun stamp set from the mini catalog!
As a book lover, I had to add this to my cart during the Demonstrator preorder at the beginning of the mini catalog. I love to listen to audiobooks while crafting and this stamp set is a great choice for any book lover!


This week I wanted to create projects that any book lover would love to receive. I’ll be showcasing a card, a bookmark, a gift card holder and today, a book belly band! Belly bands are a fun way to step up any book gift and showcase your crafting skills. They are easy to make and don’t take a lot of supplies either!

How fun is this cozy mystery book?! A perfect theme for any paper crafter. I pulled my colors from the book cover as to match and create the belly band.

Each week, I focus on one bundle or stamp set to design with and I’ll create three different projects during my Facebook Live.
In case you’ve never joined me, I go live each week at 8pm Eastern time, on my Stampin’ Blondie Facebook page. Everyone is welcome to follow along. Find my page by clicking HERE!
