Notecard Purse

This is a gift set I made to give away as a prize for my sister’s baby shower. I think it makes a great little gift as well! The template for the box can be found here.

I did have to increase the dimensions a little bit on this one because my notecards were a little bulky from all the ribbon I used. I didn’t follow the template directions exactly, but pretty close. You may want to play with your dimensions based on what you’re putting inside the purse. I am including 12 notecards with envelopes, which causes the box to bulge a little!

The ribbon around the outside is not necessary to keep the box closed, it’s more for decoration, but it does keep the handle secured nicely.

These are made from supplies I haven’t used since I ordered them so long ago. I’m trying to use up what I have before I order new stuff from the catalog. It’s hard but I’m trying!!

Supplies: Cardstock: Vanilla Confetti, Urban Garden DSP, Chocolate Chip, Scalloped Notecards (Kraft, Vanilla, Soft Sky)–retired; Accessories: Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, Soft Sky double stitched ribbon (retired), glue dots, sticky tape, word window punch.    

No stamping or sentiments on these. People can use them how they see fit.

Swell News

I borrowed this set from my upline to make some baby cards for my cousin in-law (who just found out she is pregnant) and my sister (who has known she’s been pregnant for about 7 months now!) I love it and I’m now on a quest to find one–whether it be ebay or if someone wants to sell/trade. Anyone??

I made these cards using scraps I already had lying around. It’s part of my effort to use up some of the old stuff before I bring in the new. Taking inventory of my craft closet was quite an experience! Not only did I get a chance to get organized, but I know how much stuff I never got around to using!

Supplies: Stamps: Swell News; Cardstock: Mellow Moss, Riding Hood Red, Watercolor paper, Chocolate chip, Very Vanilla; Ink: Stazon Black, RHR; Accessories: Watercolor Crayons, Aquapainter, Hemp Twine, Soft subtles Buttons, 1 3/8″ circle punch, 1″ circle punch, dimensionals, paper piercer

Baby Shower Invites

I am making invitations for my sister’s baby shower (it’s a boy) and the theme came from her bedding choice–Jungle Animals!! Of course, I have the perfect set–Wild About You. I saw many great examples on splitcoast using this set, and I’m pleased with the way they turned out. Granted it’s a lot of work cutting out the elephant ear and gluing all those dots on the giraffe, but it’s for my sister!

I used a regular hole punch and a smaller one to get the colored spots for the giraffe. The smallest spots I just colored in with So Saffron marker. The elephant’s ear is stamped in Tempting Turquoise and popped up with a dimensional.

Supplies: CardstocK: Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Kiwi Kiss, Tempting Turquoise, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla; Ink: Close to Cocoa, Baja Breeze, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron; Stamps: Wild About You, Hugs & Wishes (sentiment); Accessories: Mat Pack & Paper Piercer, dimensionals, hole punches
