Cute little handbags

Good morning and Happy Friday to you!

Today I am sharing some cute little gift handbags made with a piece of 6x6 paper. This is one of the demos I will be doing at my workshops over the next few weeks so if you would like to see how its made and fancy getting a few friends together for a crafty session please let me know.

I got the idea from a US demo and her log is called Frenchie Stamps if you Google it.

This one is made with the Berry Blossoms papers, they match the Fruit and Flowers stamp set which I showed you a few days ago. I really loved the colours on this paper. It looks like it is black but it is actually Early Espresso.

I used the Blossom Party die to cover the closure on the bag and also the wonderful IN Color Brads. Inside is perfect to hold a lipstick or a lip balm.

Here is another one in a different colour combo and using totally different papers. These are the papers you can get free with a purchase of £45 or more and they are just the BEST!! I will be showcasing them on Tuesday when Sale A Bration launches.

I added a little Vintage Mini tag and the butterfly is from another Sale A Bration set which again I will showcase on Tuesday. These tags often are overlooked in the catalogue - page 110 - £4.50.

Hope you like todays makes and hopefully I will be back tomorrow

Hello My Friend

Good Morning!

I am here with something a bit different today, a stamp set I dont think I have shown you yet! Its from the new Spring MIni and its called My Friend!

The Hello sentiment has been really popular and I have seen it on lots of projects around blogland. I have used a colour combo of Lucky Limeade and Elegant Eggplant on these projects

The first card is a simple Make and Take project, such an easy card to do, great for when you need a production line!

For the next card I have added some extra product, the design is the same but it just shows you how adding extra product can create a totally different look.

And finally a little gift package using the same products

These projects use every stamp in the set, its not often that you can utilise EVERY stamp so easily so its a very versatile set.

Back tomorrow with more makes

More training projects

Hello there!!

I am back this morning with some more makes from our training on Saturday. In the afternoon we focused on the mini catalogue and the Cupcake stamp set and punch in particular.

We created 5 Cupcake cards that were made into a Baggie Book which is a workshop tool to showcase a particular stamp set.

Here is the first card, you have seen this one before.

Colours of Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral with a smidgen of Crumb Cake.

The next one is one I have seen a lot on various sites and uses the Cupcake Frosting as an ice cream! I love the colours on this card!

The cone is stamped in Soft Suede and is the Pennant Parade stamp set punched out with the Petite Pennant punch.

A completely different look now, red and black glamour!!! We made the cupcake cases into little handbags with a striking combination of Real Red and Basic Black.

But what really made this card pop for me was the new Glimmer paper we used on the top of the bags, love it!

Next up was a card very similar to one we were showed at Convention by a lovely lady called Shannon West who works for Stampin Up! I love how authentic the basket of the balloon looks when you emboss it with the Square Lattice folder.

The balloon is stamped with the Dot,Dot,Dot background stamp

And finally probably my favourite because of its quirkiness, a movie themed invitation using the Cupcake case as a popcorn box! The ladies cursed me for this one as there was a LOT of inking to do!!

The popcorn was made with the Itty Bitty punch and was daubed with So Saffron ink

I hope you like all these makes from Saturday and maybe it might encourage you to order that Create a Cupcake stamp set and matching punch, if you dont already have a demonstrator and would like to place an order please do get in touch
