About Fancy Pants Designs
Fancy Pants Designs was founded almost 10 years ago by Jared and Jodi Sanford. With Jodi’s love of scrapbooking and the support of many creative people, Fancy Pants Designs quickly grew into a must-have product line in the paper crafting industry and continues to produce fabulous designs and unique embellishments today. Jared directs the day to day business and warehouse management of the office, while Jodi directs all art and product development and marketing. She also teaches her love of scrapbooking and crafting to many dedicated scrapbookers and is honored to have been given this opportunity. They know that their business is a success because of devoted fans who use their products and hope to continue developing even more products that meet the needs of all crafters!
Fancy Pants Designer
Today we welcome Jodi Sanford, the owner. We are so excited to have her showcase her work today on Paper Crafter’s Library. You can see Jodi’s fabulous project below, but first, here is a little more about her:
Jodi Sanford is the founder and owner of Fancy Pants Designs, Inc. She is a wife to a wonderful husband and the mother of four busy kids and considers being a Mom the greatest job she has—with designing and teaching being a close second!
Jodi has enjoyed stationary, stickers and crafting since she was very young, and began to focus more specifically on her scrapbooking and paper crafting hobby over 20 years ago. She is regularly published in national magazines and online, has developed magazine articles and concepts and taught classes worldwide!
Along with her husband, Jared, she started Fancy Pants Designs, in 2004, as a way to offer new and innovative products to this creative market and their company has been blessed with wonderful fans ever since!
Jodi enjoys spending time with her family hanging out in the backyard, watching her kids play sports, running, and hitting a movie now and then—not to mention traveling and teaching her love of scrapbooking throughout the world!
Designer Project
Today I am excited to share with you a little gift pack that I made using our all new collection, True Friend. {Hitting stores the very first part of September—get your requests in now!} As well as one of our adorable new kraft mini journals (3×4) that will be in stores this fall!
This collection is all about life, love, happiness, family, friends…the list goes on and on…and so do the fabulous papers and embellishments in this line! I just loved so many different elements that I ended up with a few different ideas and used a mix of embellishments to create them!
My project consists of a quick and easy decorative jar, an adorable and delicate accordion flower design and a super mini album!
I loved the jar because it was so quick and easy to make and would be perfect for a fresh flower delivery, filled to the brim with chocolate or even tucking the handmade flower right inside… a very easy gift where the product does the work! Simply wrap the bottle with twine, wrap one of the True Friend tags around with tulle, and you have a very cute, simple and sweet gift ready to go!
The flower, another quick and easy project features one of my favorite papers from the line—this adorable mini floral pattern came from our 6×6 pad! I cut two 1-3/4” x 6” strips out, folded and put them together! Then, I placed the flower right on to a 4” white doily. Next, I took another 6×6 patterned paper and punched a 2” circle out and adhered it to the center! Last, I added the adorable ‘Life is better with friends’ flair piece… It’s so simple, and that delicate look is so pretty! Oh, I used a decorative straw as the base of my flower…this project makes a great book mark for the mini album as well!
Up next is just a little peek at the mini album. I ADORE these albums so much…they are tiny, compact, and easy peasy to work with! These fit snugly right in your wallet or bag and are great for jotting down the every day happenings…quotes, thoughts, schedule and more! I decided to use up a mix of mini (similar to index sized) photos that I had around and wrote down/added stickers, just a few thoughts about Always Looking on the Bright Side {the book cover}! It’s nice to remember the things we have to be thankful for…especially on a bad day…that’s why I loved this as another gift idea! I hope you like it, too!
Thanks so much for joining me today for another Fancy Pants Designs feature! We hope you’ll love these BRAND NEW products and we’ll be SO EXCITED to pick a winner that will receive a few items from our True Friend line BEFORE, yes, BEFORE they hit stores!

Love the coral in this collection!
Fancy Pants is one of my favorite craft companies in the market today. You can always tell that everything they create for their customers is well thought out and makes creating a breeze. The possibilities are endless. Jodi has done a lovely job with her jar, flower and mini album. This collection is so sweet, the coral and grahics are so wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us. I follow Fancy Pants Blog, Facebook, and Twitter.
This collection is fabulous!! Love what Jodi did with it!!
Cute line and adorable mini! Thanks for the chance!
Three great projects but that mini album is just adorable.
Oooh, what a cute mini album!! Such a sweet little gift 🙂

Huge Fancy Pants fan! THanks for this great project feature. Love it!

Absolutely fabulous collection…love the button that matches the pinwheel…all so lovely! Want them all! Ahh so nice!
Absolutely in love with all their products. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love Fancy Pants – and Jodi’s mini book is just soo sweet!
All 3 of these projects are so easy and just so cute! I never even thought about using a 6″ pad for this kind of flower. Isn’t it funny that the simple act of gluing 2 strips together just didn’t enter my mind…thanks for pointing out that 6″paper pads can be used this way. Guess I’ve been stuck on 12″ paper pads…but not any more!
Very special mini album! Beautiful details!
I have always been a big fan of Fancy Pants and I look forward to their new release. Maybe I will win some!!
ADORABLE! Fancy Pants has been an outstanding company for a long time and winning this would be a blessing.
What a fun-spirited mini album — makes me smile!
WOW these are AMAZING. LOVE the COLORS!!! Thanks for sharing your time and talents.

Love these ideas – they are so cute and would make great gifts! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Love this collection and projects………….well done!
I remember using Fancy Pants products in my earliest “child”albums, but for some reason, I lost contact with them…now that I’m a grandmother, I need to go back to Fancy Pants for more ideas in making my mini albums and more. Thanks so much for showcasing Fancy Pants today-I love their new products! Jodi sounds like an amazing mother/wife/company owner who can relate to us “late bloomers”. I’d truly love to win the Fancy Pants giveaway!
I must admit that I have a stash of Fancy Pants paper. Love Jodi’s creativity. Oooh, I want to do a frame like in the post and make a little booklet of those I love. Thanks for the inspiration.
The jar is so simple and easy, yet so pretty and I just love mini albums, I always forget they are simple and can brighten anyone’s day better than flowers! I would love to win this gift pack as I see Jodi has four children and it seems she thinks easy and quick as I feel this is something I could craft with with only two children to work around! A win would be wonderful! Thank you for the opportunity to win Jodi giveaway.
So pretty and fresh!!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
