Thank you for stopping by today!
This little purse is the perfect size for two pieces of candy. It could be given to someone to brighten their day or it would be a cute shower favor. The idea for this purse was inspired by a project I saw on Stamping School.com but I changed it up a little bit to make it my own. You can see the candy in the picture below.
The paper I used on the front of my purse and to wrap around the candy is Paisley Petals. Instead of putting paper on the lower half of the purse, I chose to use my Big Shot and emboss the paper. I don’t know if you can see it, but on the front of the purse there’s a little Old Olive brad to simulate a snap on the purse. I used velcro to close the purse shut and used our new Ruffled Ribbon in Lucky Limeade for my strap.
Have a great day!

Happy Monday! I hope you had an enjoyable weekend! I was able to do some stamping but not enough!!
This box is very similar to one I posted a few weeks ago and you can see it HERE. I used a different stamp set on this box – French Foliage – but the colors are the same as the box in the previous post.
I made a bow and tag and attached it to the top. I meant to round all of the corners of my tag but of course remembered after I had attached my bow and it was too then too difficult to insert my punch. Sometimes there’s lots of trial and error while you are creating! Only one corner is adhered to the box with glue dots and some dimensionals. I used the Kraft Gift Boxes from the Holiday Mini. These boxes are a perfect size, not too big and not too small. I am going to give a gift card to someone that could use some cheering up and thought I would put it in this box on top of some shredded cardstock.

Today I have another mini pizza box that I was able to make pretty quickly. I used the Batty for You stamp set which has so many cute images that it is always hard to decide which one I want to use. Each of my scalloped layers and the two round circles are popped up with dimensionals. In this size box you could put candy, a small gift or 3×3 cards and envelopes.

I had so much fun last week playing with my French Foliage set that I decided to play with it some more over the weekend. These colors make me think of Fall and I am so wishing for cooler weather — the kind where you need a sweater, not too cool, not too hot. Last week it was 90-100 degrees here. Whew! Too hot for me in September.
I started my card by stamping my leaf in Cajun Craze in random places around my Very Vanilla cardstock. Cajun Craze it not a color I usually gravitate to but in the last week I’ve been reaching for it a lot. Then I used the same stamp and used Pumpkin Pie. My green leaf was stamped with Old Olive. Something else that can be done, which I did not do on this card, is to sponge the same colors all over the images. I did try it on another card I made over the weekend but I didn’t like the effect. I have done this with other stamps though and it can have a very beautiful effect. My sentiment is from a new stamp set called Friendly Phrases in the Idea Book and Catalog.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Her comment was, “I must have this set and paper. It’s gorgeous.” Pat, please email me with your address so that I can send your stamp set to you.
Today I made another treat bag cover using Spice Cake DSP.
I wanted to make something that I could give to my co-workers as a little thank you. I always enjoy getting chocolate so hopefully they will too! I am off to my craft room to make 5 more to give to them on Monday! Thank you for stopping by!
