Valentine Purse

This fun and fast purse I came up with when I saw Becky's purse on her blog... she made one for a Baby shower gift using preexisting clear card holders. I came up with
my own pattern using acetate and have a tutorial... if you are interested, please leave me a comment with your email address and I will contact you.

I used the Valentine's Bundle which you can find on my SU, website. All materials are copywrite of Stampin' Up! unless othewise noted.

I added some little hearts for strength to the ties...

This is what the purse looks like opened... it holds 4 full cards with envelopes on each side... I just loved it... I also used the build a brad for the "O" in Love... couldn't resist...

Another closer view....

And here is a side view so you can see the finished card.

Thanks for looking...

My Fifth Year... WOW..

How time flies... I just got my 5 year pin with the diamond in it from Stampin' Up!... I couldn't believe it... 5 years... and here it is....

My little Peach and her Geogia Peach Jewelry box

My little 16 month old Alina loves jewelry, so mom went out and found a Michaels $3.00 wood box and altered it a la Georgia Peach style... I loved the heart handle.. I used craft ink to cover, then I used clear embossing powder and heat sealed it!!! I couldn't believe it worked... no sharp edged for my baby girl... I just put in her jewelry.. let's see her reaction later... Oh, by the way... she loves purses, so the handle on her box will be perfect, I can just see her now strolling around with her box in hand... LOL

RECIPE: I chose the Georgia Peach DSP from Stampin' Up! cause these colors go so well with my baby girl.. anyway, here is what I used:

Papers: Stampin' Up! Georgia Peach, DSP... (now being discontinued.. ask me how to order)
Craft Ink: Regal Rose
Clear Embossing Powder
5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon
Soft Subtle Brads (for flower centers, pink and yellow)
Both packs of Flower Fusion.. the went well together...
Generic felt for the lining inside
Lots of sticky strip
Decoupage Finish by Royal Coat
You could use Modge Podge too
That's it! Hope you like it...

Love the Flower Fusion felt flowers... sure made it easy to decorate!! A little sticky strip so baby doesn't pull it off and it's done.

The felt lining was just a bit tricky, but it turned out just fine.. used my sticky strip instead of glue.. didn't want to wait and worked out perfect!

What I loved about this box, and was purely coincidental, is that the hinges on the back and the little lock on the front are removable.. I just unscrewed them and added all my embellishments and then put them back on... as easy as that!!

Happy Thursday!! Next to my Valentine folio!!!!

Happy Valentine's Tin

It is totally cased from Becky at: http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2008-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2009-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=50

She makes ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL STUFF!!! I can't get enough of her blog... it ROCKS!!! She made one for Christmas and I thought of Valentine's right away... so here is my copy of her work, but with another flavor... hope you like it...

Closed box fromtop...

Open box with goodies... there are 4 little cards to the left and 6 tags ready to thread the cord through the little hole on top and attach to a gift... at the bottom I attached some coordinating ribbons from the assortments Stampin'Up! has... and some Silver cording.... each section of ribbon is 16" long... enough to play with and mix and match

Here you can see the smaller tags are actually like a little card... the center heart on the red circle is popped up for dimension... all products are copyright of Stampin'Up! except for the Tin... and the skewer of coarse!!


Thanks for looking!! Til next time....

Valentines Banner

Whew... this is truly long and it was interesting to photograph this banner, but I had a lot of fun using all of Stampin' Up!s heart punches for this one... love the Candy Lane DSP also.... hope you like it... I've seen many of these for Christmas on Splitcoast and got the inspiration there. Lots of talent there.

Here is the whole thing bound up... with a ribbon I fed behind the hearts....

Without the ribbon....
