Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Pootles – Pretty English Garden Pen Pot Tutorial
Cute, cute, cute!
I love this paper, you all know that because I may possible have mentioned it once or twice recently… or perhaps a little more.
It’s definitely one that I have, and will, use all the patterns from and these 2 shown here are the two I reach for most of all.
Pens are also very much part of my life. I have a diary that I schedule my full working life into, and separate each job-to-do by colour, and as such, have dozens of pens all over the place – car, kitchen, office….
Put it this way, if someone was to gift me a pretty box full of multicoloured pens, I’d be the happiest girl around, so I decided to gift myself some (oh, any excuse!)
So I hope you enjoy my chattery video, and perhaps you’ll gift yourself some pretty pens too!

Love it, don’t need one, but am going to make one anyway.
Love these! I am a pen girl too. Thank you for sharing this beautiful idea. Perfect for the new school year also.
LOVE this little box. I have the English Garden DSP, so pretty. Would be a good box for Christmas with Christmas pencils & pens inside. ( for the craft sale ☺ )
Also love your nail polish ♥ Lynn
Made a couple of these!!! Love them!!! So pretty!!! Thanks as always!
Sam oh Sam, I think you must have made all the boxes to be made and then you come up with this wonderful pen box. I’m madly making so many of your ‘inspirations’ for a Father’s Day Stall at the junior school and now will have to add this pen box in as well. I keep thinking you must run out of inspirations soon, but no they keep popping up. Congratulations on your trip to Arizona, earned through hard work, and enjoy. Celia in Australia
Hello there. .from TX..USA
I rarely write comments. This tutorial gave me several ideas. I’m retired and semi new to craft world.
I’ve been watching loads of your tutorials and I’ve made many of your ideas, projects. You are a gifted soul. I love UK. many moons ago.
Your instructions are on my top 5.. I notice UK demonstrators are more precise.
I just made pen pot holder, however I increased the length 9.5 inches. It’s a prototype for
my son to put his Ecigarette in. Tomorrow’s my birthday, I’ll see how it fits. In addition I decreased for two votive candles placed a divider between. Even decreased for one votive. Also I placed small shampoo, conditions, etc ..
Thank you
Enjoy your day

this is a really good box and I find it so very helpful when you put things in your boxes or little bags to give me a visual about the size of goodies it may hold
