Carousel Note Purse Cottage Rose

This cute purse was made by my former downline and great customer, Ingrid McClendon. She scoped the purse that I made using the Afternoon Tea paper, and used the papers from the Cottage Rose SS kit.

The soft colors accented by the Chocolate Chip makes a lovely album and cute baby gift or wedding gift.....

Another Carousel Purse Sample using Simply Scrappin Kit, Tie the Knot

I Love the colors in this Simply Scrappin Kit, and although not ready for a wedding for anyone close to me (or me), I wanted to try to use this kit in another way...maybe, I can give the adhesive die cuts to someone who wants to use them for cards, or scrapbook pages...(hint?) I used Chocolate Chip, (reg cardstock) and the envelopes from the Carousel kit, to make the base of the purse, and then added the lovely DSP to the front, back and insides. (and yes, that's Stitch's nose peeking into the photo)

I covered the center (the folded area) with the DSP, and then the 2 sides, are actually pages I sewed in (by hand) to the front/and back covers

You can see the pages flapping over (with Stitch's help...see the upper left corner of the photo, his paw is helping to turn the pages...lol)

I am going to put something on this side, (photo or phrase) and then have something tucked inside the envelope pocket.

this is the other side, although you can't see the pocket. The kit contains Certainly Celery, and the Carousel cards has Wild Wasabi, but as you can see, they do go together very well. I was surprised, because I almost wasn't going to use the Carousel notes to top this off! I used chocolate ribbon and the stitch wasabi ribbon to make the handle, and added the Jumbo eyelets to the back to hold it in.

This is a WIP (work-in-progress) so I will be adding more embellishments as it goes!

Afternoon Tea Carousel Note Purse

To show you that I am not just scoping ideas from just 1 person...I am showing you a purse that I made from the blog of Janine Tinklenberg (Jan Tink)! Love this idea, and ok, I am now loving this paper...I told you in another post, I thought it looked like wall paper...(LOL)...even after doing a card with this paper at Regionals in Anaheim, I still thought it looked like wall paper....

Well, this project really makes you take a better look...and not think of wallpaper! Jan has better photos and a tutorial as to how to make this cute project! You can use it as a scrapbook project, birthday card for a SPECIAL friend who you know will never throw this away! In fact, I am thinking that I will make another one using (non Stampin' UP!) Basketball paper for Tori's basketball teammates who are graduating from Wilson.....Seniors who are Varsity team-mates!

I decided to use a different stamp set than the one Jan used, and since Tori loves horses, and riding...and I love this photo of her....decided to try them in this project together. I love to take photos and since only have 1 child...have to do with the same photos over and over..but you get the idea....

There are Carousel notes tucked inside the envelopes, so you can put more photos or journaling inside!

I did the same thing with this ribbon that Jan did, but you can see that I did this in another project. You mono a smaller ribbon on top of a larger wider ribbon to get a different effect. It is lovely, don't you think?

And to show you that it isn't very easy to get photos...I have distractions...this one loves to be in the photo....he can never understand why I want to photograph some silly piece of colored papers, when I have this lovely fur ball.......lol

for instructions as to how to make this lovely purse...visit Jan's blog!

Carousel Notes

I was playing with these NEW Carousel NOTEs, and OOH, I love them! At first, I didn't know where to start out, so I copied the one in the Occasions Brochure, and ooh..! It is so cute! I didn't like the new papers since they looked like wallpaper..(ok, I said it outloud and now it is written online!)..but, I have started to warm up to this patterned papers.

It will have to continue to grow on me, but I do love the rub ons!

This last one was my version of the other sample in the Occasions brochure, except I have my "own" asian girl to use as my photo. I used the rub on on a Wild Wasabi circle cut with the Coluzzle. I mounted the photo on the Wild Wasabi, and love the effect of the rub on as a pattern on the paper. I then just got the flower embellishments, so I stacked them togethe and used a FIRE brad to highlight the center. I think this polishes off this very well.

Try the Carousel cards...you'll love the ideas you can come up with!
