Pretty Little Petite Purses!

I just love these new purses!! They're made with the new Petite Purse Big Shot die. And I 'borrowed' the idea for the handle from my stampin' buddy Liz. I used some Sticky Strip along the die cut handle. Then I stuck a piece of the Satin pleated ribbon over it. - I love how it makes the handle a little more sturdy. - You know how us girls always load our purses, and we need that strong handle!! And, even though the purse is 'petite,' you can fit 7 or 8 Hershey's kisses or about four Hershey's nuggets, or even a couple Ghiradelli squares. Probably a lot of other little goodies will fit, but those were the ones I tried so far.

Here's how I attached the handle - with some coordinating brads on the sides. Super easy!

Here's a close-up of the second one I made in Riding Hood Red. The little flower accent on the front was made with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch!

A Blushing Mixed Bunch!

Here's a card I made for a swap I participated in. I used the new set Mixed Bunch, and of course, the new punch, Blossom. I love it when Stampin' Up! coordinates their punches with a set!! I also used the new Twitterpated DSP and buttons, and the Blushing Bride Pleated Ribbon - lovin' all the new accessories from the Occasions Mini!

Here's a close up of the flower. I added some underneath Blushing Bride layers just for added interest for the texture of the flower.

And, I used one of my favorite saying sets, Petite Pairs!

A Twitterpated Calendar for Friday!

Here's the project we'll be making at class this Friday! I got the idea from Kay Kalthoff. But, of course, I changed up the papers and the colors - and all the goods to incorporate our latest Occasions Mini Catalog stuff! It's a combination of an Easel Card, and a custom-made drawer (that fits exactly under the base of the Easel Card)! - Super cool, huh?

Here's a better look at the piece that holds the easel in place. I like the saying for a nice everyday reminder! And I tried to match up some flowers to replicate the pattern in the Twitterpatted papers from the above section - and added a little Rhinestone bling!

Here's a better look at the Easel Card top part of the project. (And it's a little truer color - the top picture was a bit dim looking!) I really like how the Twitterpated Papers bring all the colors together! And, of course, it has just the right amount of Baja Breeze in it :) So I had to use the Baja Seam Binding to top it all off!


I hope to see you at class this Friday!
