Mini Stationary Purse



Summer is flying by. I have lots to do, but have had headaches a lot that seem like Migraines. So I haven't got much accomplished yet. I am a teacher and summer school was out June 30th so I have had 10 days and I should have got something completed, but I have become a couch potato instead.


Saw this project on Inking Idaho and thought I would give it a try. The link gives instructions on how to make it. It is really rather easy. The approximate size is 6" X 6 1/2". So it isn't very large. I used 3 pieces of solid card stock and one piece of printed to make the actual purse.



I used my coluzzle to cut the ovals for the handles. There is a pocket on the front, back and one inside. I used CTMH Emporium paper for the decoration on the outside pockets and Emporium Creative Basics for the inside pocket.



It wouldn't stay closed the way I wanted it to, so I used some velcro spots on the top corners. The inside pocket is for envelopes and the original had a mini notepad and pen on the other side. I don't have or can't find any mini- notepads, so that will have to wait until I get to the store.



The one on Inking Idaho has cards that coordinate and they go in the outside pockets. Here are 2 simple cards that I have started.


Thanks for looking

Wishes Just Because Card Workshop




I found some time to work with Wishes ( CTMH's new Card Confidence Program). Wishes has some workshops instructions in it. The next 2 pictures shows the cards that I made with the Just Because Card Workshop. It is on pages 68-73. This workshop makes 20 cards 10 designs and 2 of each design. If you are a card maker Wishes is a must.








I used Moon Doggie level 2 paper, 4mm and 8mm brads. I have left some of the cards blank so when I need a card it will be easy to finish it for a specific person.




The pictures below are cards that I finished for the July 4th Holiday. I used D1141 So Sweet Seasons stamp set.


The above card is the same design, but assembled slightly different.

The cards above are different because I wasn't paying attention to the direction the slits were to be cut for the buckle, but I think I made them both work. Thanks for looking.
