Bag in a Box Purse/Tote

May17

hellolg

 

These adorable little purses have been all over the internet this past month.  So, I jumped on the bandwagon. Since I love to make boxes and bags this was a perfect project for me.

graypurse

This was my first one. I used Basic Gray in the new Stampin’ Up! Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack (available to order on June 2nd). I paired it with Basic Black card stock and and added Antique Brads.

 

typurse

I made 6 4″X4″ cards to go inside. I used the same paper stack as I did on the purse, on the card fronts, just switching up the patterns.

grayset1

I love the new paper stack patterns.

 

bluepurse   pinkpurse

I made a couple more with paper some of the retiring paper stacks. Pool Party with Island Indigo on the left, and Pink Pirouette with Melon Mambo on the right.

 

 

graypurse

Pink is my very favorite color but I have to say that the Basic Gray one is my favorite of these 3.

March Paper Pumpkin Alternate Project

Mar25

baglg

My March Paper Pumpkin kit arrived!

 

 

???????????????????????????????

These kits get better every month. And the stamp sets that come with them are super! This months Paper Pumpkin kit was intended to make cards but I decided to change it up a bit. Here’s what I came up with.

 

 

bagstripe

You can’t really tell from the picture but this is a treat bag/box. The card stock in the kit is so nice. Easily strong enough to make a box.

 

 

bagmelon

With this one I used my favorite Melon Mambo which really pops against the black.

To make these bags, I placed the pre-scored card onto my Simply Scored and scored 1/4″ on each side of the pre-scored line. Then I turned it and scored each side 1/2″. I cut up to the score marks on the small squares in the center, ignoring the pre-scored line. Added adhesive and brought the sides together. Very simple and quick! The stamped images are all from the stamps that were included in the kit (except for the small flower on the Melon Mambo one).

Thanks for stopping by! If you would like to try Paper Pumpkin for yourself, it’s easy to sign up. Just click on the best choice for you below.  If you order a 3 month subscription by March 31, 2015 you can also get a FREE item from the Sale-A-Bration catalog PLUS you get $5.00 off the cost!  Feel free to contact me with any questions!

Glitter Queens Blog Hop Day Two of Three

I have often wished I could make my own bag with Designer Series Paper that would be big enough to hold a stamp set.

tealbag

I was surfing YouTube one day and came across a video that was perfect for making such a bag! This one above I made with the “Best Day Ever” free paper that is available right now from Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration with a $50.00 or more purchase.  And the buttons and ribbon called “Best Day Ever Accessory Pack” are also available for free with a $50.00 or more order.

This bag I made with retired Designer Series Paper. What a great way to use up some of the paper that has been sitting around! And what better way to decorate then with a Lolly or Rosette?!

bags2

This photo shows the size of the bag. It easily holds a stamp set plus room for lots more. It takes 2, 12×12″ sheets of paper. It measures  7″ tall x 6″ wide x 3″ deep. Very quick and easy to put together. Now I can have matching bag and card! Click here to watch the video.
