Stationery Suitcase, with Maresa

Stationery Suitcase, with Maresa

Most people are so enamored with the clever design of the packaging, that they don't realize that this lovely suitcase houses a treasure trove of goodies. The workshop not only includes the suitcase, but cards, envelopes and altered paper clips. Since I'm sure you won't be able to stop at just one, I will provide you with a photo tutorial of the project, as well as templates for those hard-to-find 3"x3" envelopes.
Though we use the MME Andrea Victoria papers, this project will lend itself beautifully to any theme/colour scheme that you choose. Let your imagination go wild!
