Hi Stampers!
Hope life is not too crazy for you these days! I am officially done with cookie making and making and sending Christmas cards and I can breathe a sigh of relief. Here is a project I made for display at my Open House last week. It is a card purse and set of four cards. The tote is made from a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. If you search Resourses for Card Purse, it will pop up. I don't have the link right now. I did use Sticky Strip to secure the purse.
The card design was inspired by this card from Andrea Walford. The base for both the cards and the purse is Chocolate Chip card stock. The focal image starts with a base of Real Red card stock. Santa and his sleigh is from the Stampin' Up! set. Wandering Words, from the Holiday Mini Catalog. This is stamped in Chocolate Chip Classic ink on Whisper White card stock. The bottom half is from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper Collection, also in the Holiday Mini. I can't get enough of this paper. All the designs are awesome!
Real Red 1/4" grosgrain ribbon is wrapped along the seam. A small piece of ribbon makes the knot.
The card purse is embellished with Circle Fire Rhinestone Brads and 5/8" Real Red Grosgrain ribbon for the handles. I dabbed the 2-Way Glue pen on the stars of the stamped image and added Dazzling Diamond Glitter. It really sparkles in real life. This makes a nice little hostess gift for those holiday parties...if you can give it away...LOL. Wandering Words is a very versatile set that is only available through January 4, 2010. It covers Fall, Christmas and Valentine's Day. Click on the image for a closer look. Click HERE to see all the products in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Don't forget - January 4th is the last day to order from this Mini.
Stampin' Up! just announced that due to the popularity of the Shimmer Paints (found in the Mini), they will be available after January 4th, while supplies last.
