June 18, 2011: Hello Blossoms Mini Purses
Pin It Now!
I love, love, love paper purses! This is a folded one following the same pattern I used on THIS one, except I scaled it down to use a 6x6 sheet of Designer Series Paper. The finished size is perfect for a Reese Peanut Butter Egg (I made these at Easter this year).
The DSP is the free Hostess Level 1 In-Color Pack - I love free! It's my favorite price. :) I chose to use the Pear Pizzazz and Concord Crush In Colors for these mini purses, and I'm really happy at how they turned out. Definitely my two favorite current In-Colors. I can't wait to start using the new In-Color, Wisteria Wonder with the Concord Crush! I really like that In-Colors are staying for two years now, don't you? Also, I love that the In Colors DSP is different patterns than the other color family DSP. Click to see the Regals, Subtles, Neutrals and Brights. More crafting options!
At any rate, I made these slightly different. For the Concord Crush Mini Purse, I topped each edge with Concord Crush Cardstock, added Stitched Poly Twill Ribbon in Concord Crush and added a closure using the Round Tab Punch. So cute!
For the Pear Pizzazz model, I added a simple bow tied from Poly Twill Stitched Ribbon held in place with a Glue Dot, and added a closure made from the new Postage Stamp Punch and Whisper White Cardstock.
Both purses have front Whisper White panels stamped with the new Hello Blossoms a la Carte stamp in the current Summer Mini Catalog. For one, I just stamped it in Perfect Plum ink on Whisper White. For the other one I got fancy and used Stampin' Write Markers in Old Olive, Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette and Pumpkin Pie very lightly to color the stamp to get different colored flowers. So sweet and pretty!

May 8, 2011: Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
Pin It Now!
Today is the day to celebrate one of my very best friends...my Mom. :) So just a quick post today then I have to go call her on the phone.
As promised, here is the last of the Easter hats - the Sew Suite one from the now-retired spring Occasions Mini. I thought this suite was so incredibly cute, but I think the mini had so many great things this collection got a little overlooked. Oh, well - I still love it! And, per my usual M.O., I may be hoarding some of those amazing fabric covered brads. :)
This was the only hat that I used the 1/4" grosgrain for the band and the 5/8" grosgrain for the bow - the rest I twisted the wider ribbon to a cord for the band and had double tails. Although I really like the double tails, using the thinner ribbon flat for the band was a much cleaner look.
It's hard to see, but I also used the 5 Petal Punch twice to make the flower. I love the 10 petal look!
Several people have asked what I used for the circle on top of my Easter hats. I was pleased to find that the containers sold by Stampin' Up! are exactly 2 1/2" - how perfect is that? You could certainly use the Circle Scissor Plus; that would make perfect 2 1/2" circles, or you could use the largest circle on the Circles #2 Die (I have and love both). Either of those are great options, but I used my 2 1/2" punch. It isn't shown in the big catalog, but is still available as a carry over item on my website HERE.
That's it - make sure you honor your mom today!

May 6, 2011: Sending Love Easter Hat
Pin It Now!
I'm almost done sharing my Easter hat favors! Although this DSP has been retired for a while, it was available on the Clearance Rack so I may have squirreled away a spare pack or two. :) I really love it; it's a specialty DSP with gloss and glitter, so it has a lot of pizazz.
Sticking with the retired theme I also used a Pretty in Pink corduroy brad and Rose Red stitched grosgrain ribbon. It was so pretty and sweet...and the first Easter Hat chosen by my class participants, too!
