Stampin’ Up! #1 Demonstrator Pootles -SpringWatch 2018 Kawaii Pen Tutti Frutti Sleeves
SpringWatch Giveaway for today – FRUIT BASKET BUNDLE – details on how to enter at the bottom
You should have heard me squeal when I spotted these adorable pens on facebook. They popped up as a sponsored post at the end of October and as soon as I spotted the Tutti Frutti suite in the catalogue we received in November, I knew I had to go back to the online shop and buy them (adding in some really cute cat pens while I was there…!)
I will give you a warning, while they do offer free international shipping, don’t expect them to arrive anytime soon, it took a good 6 weeks for them to arrive with me….
But they’re so worth it for the cute factor!
I decided to put them in a 2″ (5cm) cello sleeve rather than hide them away in a box. I wanted to show off the little charm! And yes, I am ok with the writing on the side, you barely notice it when you cover your sleeve with punch out shapes and all sorts of fruity loveliness!
My cardstock inserts are cut to 8 x 2″ (20 x 5cm) and the DSP is layered at 1.75 x 6″ (4.5 x 15.25cm) to make full use of the DSP length. You could cut your sleeve down and then cut your cardstock down, but I think our lovely matching Washi Tape works well to fill in the blanks.
Now who else is in need of some fruit to eat right now?

Another cute project, Sam! Thanks for this great idea. I always struggle with washi tape in that I don’t know what to do with it.
I ordered this bundle and the DSP last week but I may just have to order the sequins and washi tape too!
Thanks for sharing another great project!
Brilliant tutorial as usual – I love it and the clever packaging to show off the pens! The punched strawberries are adorable xx

Lovely, ordering the pens they will be here just in time for spring and teacher presents!

In the catalogue this did nothing for me but you gave changed my mind showing the suite off in this tutorial x

ha!ha!ha! I loved your “on line shop” comment for the pens BUT . . . what shop???? A little gift becomes a beautiful gift !! Thanks Pootles!!
Look forward to getting your videos they are so fun and inspiring to watch. What company did you order the pens from? I would like to give them to my co-workers for Mother’s Day…need to make around 50. Have blessed day.
Lovely project!!
The Pens are so cute!
These are gorgeous !!! Thanks for all your hard work over Spring Watch. We do appreciate it xx
A lovely bright project on this cold and Frosties day xx
Hey there, Sam! Thank you for showing this very quick and simple idea as an alternative for boxes. The Tutti Fruity Suite is growing on me with every inspiration!
Such cute pens, and the perfect paper to match! The cello bags are a great way to gift them.
Lovely cheerful paper. Especially like the dinky little punches.
beautiful pens and a great project
I’m always surprised how you manage to make anything normal – like a pen – to look absolutely fabulous by decorating it in your very own style. Simple but effective.
Another great idea & ideal for my children’s crafts, thanks again Sam x
Oh how pretty, they make a lovely gift. Adorable x
What a lovely idee. I go make it for my grandsons
4 birthday to take it to school .
xx the Netherlands
Those pens are fun! 🙂
Love this project Sam – just looked at the pen shop and the pens are no more!!! I was thinking of doing these for my WI Craft Fayre in May. Will have to look elsewhere, but they do still have cute pens! I think they look they Japanese symbols?
Oooh, got to get some of those pens; they’re gorgeous! And, as you say, a great little seller at a craft fair. Best project yet.
Lovely little summery gift on a winters day.
Adorable little pen sleeves!
Not sure it will work on your new pens but sometimes you can remove the writing with rubbing alcohol. Just a thought. The project is a keeper!
That is adorable!!
Cute and cheery project on this snowy day in Michigan. TFS
