Valentines Day Purse

Hello & Happy Thursday!

ETA: The purse die is an unbranded die. No idea who the maker is!! 

I have a sweet treat to share that I made for Valentines Day using a purse die my friend sent me to play with! 

I have had it since before Christmas and have not had time to play with it until recently!

I wish I would have gotten a better picture of the inside but I already sent these out to my customer.

I filled them with Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate & Caramel Hearts.

Perfect size to fit 3 in each purse.

Project Details:

Stamps: Heartfelt

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Gold Foil Paper, Painted w Love Speciatly DSP (retired)

Accessories: Unknown Purse Die, Oval Layering Framelits, Heart Punch Pack, Melon Mambo 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon (retired), Glue Dots, Gold Metallic Enamel Hearts, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

So fun and what a way to present a Valentine treat!

Rose Red Purse

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Heading out shortly to run some errands and pick up a few groceries but before I go I wanted to share the last of the purse bags that I made. Not sure if I will make anymore or not but they are so fun and I have been on a roll with them!

I used the Painted Blooms DSP for this set and the flower from the Crazy About You stamp set ( from the Occasions Mini). I thought about using the Painted Blooms stamp set with matching flowers but I was looking for something quick & easy so I used the flower that I stamped in Rose Red and punched it out with the Flower Medallion Punch. Added rhinestones to the center of the flower and attached it to the purse with a dimensional. My cardstock on the purse is Rose Red and punched with the retired Eyelet Border Punch. The Painted Blooms DSP is so pretty! I may have to order another pack before it goes away!

Have any of you tried to make one of these purses? If so, I'd love to see pictures! It always makes my day when some of my followers create things and then share their pictures with me!!

Well, that's all I have for today!

I will be back tomorrow with my card for the Merry Monday Challenge where I am the hostess!

Maybe you'll play along with us and get those Christmas cards made! Stop by tomorrow and check it out!

Thanks for stopping by & have a super Sunday!

Coastal Cabana Purse

Hello & Happy Friday!

Quick post today then I need to go get ready for my doctor appointment this afternoon! Hubby is only working a half day today and after the week he had at work...I know he's glad to add half a day to his weekend!

So, the other day I shared my purse and everything I made to put in it. Well, I made more! 

They are kinda addicting once you get the first one made! 

I know my pictures aren't the best but I tried to lighten them as much as I could with Picasa without washing them out. This purse is a real beauty in real life as I just love the Coastal Cabana color and this pretty paper! Again, I made the Tissue Box Holder, Post It Note Holder, RSVP Pen and 6 A2 size cards for in it.

I used my very loved stamp set, Mixed Bunch. I'm sad that it's retiring at the end of this catty but I will keep on using my set and coordinating Blossom Punch. I used flower stamps that have the coordinating punches to keep things quick & simple. All the cards are mail friendly and very flat so the recipient will not have to use extra postage.

Coastal Cabana Purse:

Stamps: Mixed Bunch, Sentiments from Wetlands

Ink: Coastal Cabana, Memento Black

Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Best Year Ever DSP (from SAB 2015)

Accessories: SU Eyelet Border Punch (retired), Blossom Punch, Vintage Faceted Buttons, Coastal Cabana Baker's Twine, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Liquid Multi Purpose Glue

If you want the directions on how to make these they are listed at the bottom of this post. 

Hope you have enjoyed my purses! I think there will be more to come! 

That's all for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Mother's Day Gift

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

This past weekend I spent some time at the stamp table making an adorable gift for my Mom for Mother's Day this year. The latest craze are the purses filled with cards. I have seen them all over Pinterest & Facebook and I eventually got sucked into making one for myself. I will put a link at the end for you to go and see how to make these for yourself.

Here we go!

Purse with 6- A2 size cards with matching envelopes, Tissue Box, Post It Note & RSVP Pen.

Stamps: Bloom for You, Sassy Salutations

Ink: Calypso Coral

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Gold Soiree DSP

Accessories: MS Doily Border Punch, Fun Flower Punch, Gold Buttons, Crisp Cantaloupe Baker's Twine, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Stamp A Ma Jig, Tombow Liquid Multi Mono, 2 Sided Tape

Here is the link to making these purses.

 I did make some changes and I did not cut up the DSP the way it is in the tutorial.

 I did use the 2 - 4 X 8 pieces of DSP and cut the rest up the way I needed it.

I think my Mom is going to love this purse filled with goodies! I will add a gift card to it yet to complete her Mother's Day gift. I can see I will be making a bunch more of these! So fun!

Well, that's all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
