Until recently, I did not make many 3D projects. But now I see so many cute things that I must try them for myself. Case in point, this little purse!
I have made many of these purses of late-- for raffle prices, guest prizes, and for my friends. They are just so cute! They are made using the little composition notebooks that you can buy for less than $1 at the big box stores. I must confess that this is not my idea. The kudos belong to a wonderfully inventive stamper, Becky Roberts, who has a blog named Inking Idaho. She has provided a tutorial on making these nifty purses! Isn't she wonderful! Rather than re-invent the wheel and tell you how it's done, I'm going to send you to her tutorial! Click here to see the how tos!
Next up is a "purse" that I designed based on a card box I saw at my friend Mary Cargill's, a fellow SU demonstrator. (Hi Mary!) I wanted my card box to look more like a spring purse! Here's what I came up with...
I was tickeled pink when it was finished! My children and even DH said it was cute. My, my, my, such flattery! It uses a SU stamp block case (which only demos can purchase, so be nice to your demonstrator if you want one! hehehe). I placed a Trinket Key coming out of the front pocket since that is usually how my keys ride in my purse. Amazing that I have never lost them.
Here's a side view.
When opened there are cards for the recipient to use. These are very simple cards which all use the Sweet Summer Sale-a-Bration Set and the always classic Sincere Salutations. They are what I call "Onederful" cards since they are single layers and easy peasy, get-out-the-door-now cards. Stazon Black Ink and markers of your choice are all you need besides some Whisper white Card stock. I made 8 cards to fill this purse.
Here are the 8 cards. They were designed by my upline Linda Gutierrez. Pretty "Onderful" huh?!
Have I overused the word wonderful? Maybe I should get out the thesarus...hmmm. Snazzy, ideal, beyond compare... are those synonyms for wonderful? OH!!! I know a synonym for wonderful! YOU!
Thanks for checking in with me. (Or should I say checking up on me?)
