CRAFT DIY - Hand Stamped Notebooks

This week I have been customising some notebooks which I got from Tiger. It was a pack of three for £1 so pretty much a bargain! I just went crazy with stamps I had, jazzing up the designs with some metallic ink. Planning on making some more for Christmas presents, but definitely keeping the squirrels for myself - they are just too sweet! They will make my handbag feel a bit more exciting so I can keep notes while I am out.

I think this would be a great craft for party bags or any occasion where you want to personalise gifts without overspending!

Step 1: Grab your supplies together and get ready to craft!

Supplies needed:

• Plain kraft notebook
• Assortment of stamps
• Ink - Versafine is my favourite for clear, crisp images, Encore was the brand I used for metallics as the quality is second to none, it dries really quickly and is nice and shimmery

Step 2: Stamp away! Get creative with your patterns

I love the squirrels! And the owl is a metallic green, looks gorgeous and shimmery, the photo really does not do it justice!

One thing to know about me is that if you put an animal on a product, I will more than likely want to own it. I've always been drawn to jewellery and clothes featuring my favourite animals so it is a delight to see so many pieces on the high street that suit my style. 

As we are heading into autumn (although ironically the sun is shining brighter this week than most of summer!) there is an abundance of forest critters on the clothing and accessories I see, in warm autumnal tones. Here are a few of my favourite pieces I have seen - I desperately want to buy the Topshop skirt!
