Cute handbags/purses

Happy August Monday! How is everyone today? Do you carry everything you own in your handbag or purse?  How about all your family members (husbands) who think because you carry a purse you can now carry all of their items too...(laughing) Today I'm sharing these cute little purses and surprisingly they are bigger than I thought they would be.

The die cut is from Concord & 9th for Becky Roberts

at Inking Idaho. ( www.inkingidaho.com)

It comes with different parts for the purse,

like key chains & hearts. Its just so adorable.

You can use them for gift cards or 

small note cards. 

 I can't wait to make more to share with you. Have a wonderful week!

Home Sweet Home

Happy May Monday! I can't believe it's already May. Today I am sharing some popcorn gift bags I made for my daughter. She bought a house and had a house warming party last month. She wanted everyone to have a little something as a Thank You for helping her celebrate her new home. Of course we saw tons of things on Pinterest. She purchased candles and we put a sign that read: Thanks for helping me warm my new home. Please enjoy warming yours! It was really cute....Ugh!!! I didn't get a picture of the basket of candles.

I really liked the "Thanks for popping by" popcorn bags I saw on Pinterest, this is my version of them.  

Thank goodness for my neighbor Heather, she had
  a "House die-cut" I used to cut out lots and lots of
little houses. I printed the saying on card stock, cut them
 into 2" strips  and used the SU tag punch for the tops.

The popcorn was from Costco. I purchased three
different kinds and mixed them together. 

After gluing on the houses I added the hearts.
The itty bitty, teeny weeny and I am talking
very small hearts are from a line heart punch
from SU. Yes, I glued each one of them...(smiling)
So each of these were made with LOVE!

Thank you for "POPPING" by today. Enjoy your day!

Bag and Card

Happy Thursday! How is everyone doing today?  A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited to my neighbors craft group. They had a show-n-tell and one of the ladies shared a die cut for your cards to hang outside a gift bag.  I really loved this idea because you don't have to use an envelope for the card.  I didn't want to buy the die cut so this is my version of the bag and card holder. 

I took a brown lunch bag, covered the front and
back with pattern CS and I added a ribbon handle.

This is the card hanging from the outside of the bag. 

Here is what the bag looks like without the card. 

This is a die cut from Heartfelt Creations. I used a
straight die cut to cut the slit to insert the card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Happy Stamping.

Explosion Purse

Happy Friday to you!  Hope this Friday finds you doing well.  Today's craft is a explosion purse I made as a birthday gift for Marie.    Marie is from the Ladies Night Out group back when we use to craft once a week together.  Life gets in the way and our Ladies Night Out is no more but we are able to craft together every once in awhile.   Marie I hope you had a wonderful Birthday.

I chose paper that had a design you might find
on a purse.  The rose on the front is a button cover
I found at a yard sale. I thought it went perfect
with the paper. 

Inside the purse I added a pack of tic tacs. 

I covered the Tic-Tacs with glitter paper and
added the embellishment and ribbon. 

This stamp is one of the SU free stamps during
their Celebration promotion. 

  Happy Mother's Day!  Enjoy your weekend!

One Sheet Box

Welcome!  Today I am sharing a gift box made using one 12 X 12 sheet of pattern paper, a die cut and some flowers.  It's very easy and a great way to wrap a small gift or gift card. 

Looking at this picture it looks like  maybe I should 
add a ribbon handle to the box.  What do you think?

I wish I could tell you I made these flowers, but for
me it's just easier to buy them....LOL  These are
from Bessies Lace & Crafts here in Albuquerque. 

A small magnetic was used to attach the flap to the box.

I added ink to each of the score lines to give it 
a vintage look. 

I hope your enjoying this Fall weather. Have a wonderful day!!

Anything Baskets

Happy March!!  Hope all is well with you.  I was checking out some things on You Tube and came across this ladies video.... I didn't write down the name of the video I watched and I can't find it again.  Bummer! This lady took  6X6 card stock and made different things with them.  These baskets are one of the items she made so I gave them a try.  They were really easy to make.  

These basket can be used for any holiday or celebration.

Butterfly Birthday Bag

Hope your day is going well so far.  Here is a birthday bag I made using a butterfly clip. 

The stamp and paper are both from CTMH. 

The butterfly clothespin is a mirror.  Do you see my camera
 reflecting in the butterfly?

The butterfly clothespin is from Michael's dollar bin.

Have a super great day!

Today I am shaing some gift bags I made for the bachelorette party for Rena. (my daughter-in-law to be). I used a stamp set from CTMH and the bird clothespins are from Michael's.
