Purse-onally Perfect Purse

Here's a pure I made from Becky Roberts (http://www.inkingidaho.blogspot.com/) - it's quite easy to do and she has a tutorial for sale for this and another set of purses.  This is made from retired Stampin' Up! DSP and very vanilla cardstock.

I filled it with teacher goodies for the end of the year thank you gift for my sons' kindergarten teacher.  It has some "bling" rhinestones on it to glam it up.

The little pocket on the front side is held closed with velcro and inside is small 2.5" x 2.5" notecards and matching envelopes (I forgot to take a picture of those).  I used cardstock for the handles, but I think next time I might try some ribbon.

What do you think?  Cute, huh?

Teacher Thank Yous

I made thank you gifts for my sons' kindergarten and k-care (day care) teachers and the bus driver.  I found votives from Yankee Candle and packaged them in a basket made with the Big Shot and the Basket & Blooms die.

I used retired DSP, snail adhesive, sticky strip, glue dots, cardstock, ink, stamps, punches and some assorted paper flowers and ric rac I had laying around.

Preschool Teacher Thank You Gifts

These are gifts I gave to my daughers' preschool teacher and her helpers.  I found some Yankee Candle votives and packaged them up with a votive holder in some pretty hand made boxes with a 3x3 card of thanks.  The DSP is retired.
I used Snail adhesive, cardstock, dsp, Big Shot and dies, ric rac (non SU), stamps, ink and sticky strip.


Self adhesive die cut stickers were also used.

Here are the boxes opened so you can see the goodies inside.

Easter Basket

Here's an Easter Basket using some of the new Occasions mini catalog produts.  This was something I saw on Create with Connie and Julie and was designed by Julie Dinn.

It features Ballet Blue, Pretty in Pink, whisper white and orchid opulence CS, Sweet Pea DSP, Pretty in pink ribbon and ink, Designer label and scallop border and scallop trim punch, Eggcoutrements stamp set (clear mount), flower brads, 1" and 1 1/4" circle punches, small and large tag punches and the crop-a-dile.

In this shot you can see the inside of the basket, with a place to carry your easter eggs so they will sit up nice and pretty.
Of course, I also used SNAIL, sticky strip, glue dots, paper trimmer, dimensionals and scissors.

Easter Peek - Revealed

Here is what was hiding in the Easter Treat Carrier I posted yesterday:


These are made with the mini-milk carton die in the Big Shot using Pawsitively Prints DSP, pinking hearts border punch, Eggcellent Eggs kit, spiral clips (to hold them closed),  glue dots and dimensionals.  Aren't they cute?  Perfect for easter goodies for the kids!

Here's a look at the spiral clips holding the cartons closed and in the treat carrier:


The carrier was made from the same papers as the cartons and I used the word window punch to make the handle.

Easter Peek

Here's part of a project I recently completed....I'll show you the rest tomorrow.  I got the pattern and idea from Create with Connie and Julies' Mary Brown (see my side bar on the left)
This is a little carrier for an Easter treat...it uses some of the new Stampin' Up! products available now.



This is the DSP pawsitively prints and the Eggcellent Eggs decorating kit - it includes die cut flowers, leaves and swirls along with rhinestones and rub ons - too cute!  I also used whisper white cardstock, wide oval, scallop oval and oval punches and the Eggcoutrements clear mount stamp set that I colored with a Stampin' Write marker.  Colors are pretty in pink, so saffron, pale plum, bliss blue, bashful blue and certainly celery. The ribbon is the new satin pretty in pink ribbon available.  Of course I also used dimensionals, SNAIL, paper trimmer, scissors and glue dots.
I'll leave you with this shot of what's coming tomorrow....

Happy Halloween :)

These are some cute little treat baskets I made for my kids and nieces and nephews for Halloween.  I got the pattern from the Scrapbooks Etc. website....it's kind of like a take-out box, without the top closure.  This little baskets were only a couple inches tall, so it didn't take many treats to fill them up!

Here's another view of the fronts...there were 3 styles in all, a bat, jack o lantern, and mummy.  I used Stampin' Up! cardstock in black, pumpkin and white along with chocolate chip ink to "dirty up" the mummy.   The facial features were either cut from small pieces of cardstock scraps, punched out or drawn on.

Here you can see the backsides...I punched a scalloped circle and then stamped an image and placed it in the middle.  I added a small strip to the sides, attached with brads, for the handle.  The kids really enjoyed them.
