Trying out purses for a possible swap

Trying to come up with ideas for a 3D object for a conference I am attending that they swap items at. This is one idea I am thinking of. Making 50 should be a breeze! All materials are Stampin' Up except for the ribbon and the die cutting. Die cutting is from my Cricut using Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. These are so fun to make. I am thinking of filling them with sweet candy. Need to break out more stamps! These would also make great party favors. My mind is reeling with all kinds of ideas!

Ice Cream Birthday Wishes


Found some time tonight to work on a few projects! I started by making these two wonderful birthday cards. Made with the Doodlecharms cartridge, I cut the ice cream cone out on brown cardstock using my Cricut at size 5 1/2", also cut it again on a cream colored cardstock. Next I cut out the backed out version of just the ice cream on pattern paper. I chalked the brown ice cream cone with white chalk to draw out the cuts and then glued down the patterned paper onto it. Next, I inked the edges of the cream colored ice cream cone and stamped a birthday message in the middle. The last touch was to gather the two pieces together and punch a small hole where the cherry would go and put through a Bazill wingz large brad. This allows the card to swing open to the side like on a hinge. I love this one!

Finally some time to scrap

I am finally scraping tonight. Thunderstorms are ripping through our area so tennis and swimming lessons for my children got cancelled. Since I have to be in the basement anyway, figured I might as well catch up on some belated birthday cards. Here is my first attempt....hope to get more done.
