Celebrate

I had some time today to do some stamping, finally!  I started with a base of Kiwi Kiss and added a layer of Sahara Sand that I ran through the Big Shot using the Harlequin Texturz Backgrounds #1.  This is one of Shelli's signature collection and unique to Stampin' Up!.  I then added another layer of Kiwi Kiss topped off with a small piece of Whisper White.  I stamped Botanical Blooms, a SAB set, and Celebrate Everything in Basic Black and Kiwi Kiss.  I hope you enjoy!

Top Note Purse

I know it's been a long time since I posted a project but I have something to show you today.  I've been wanting to make the little purse that I've seen on MANY blogs.  So today I pulled out the Stampin' Up! Top Note Bigz die and got to work.

I used Pink Pirouette for one set of the Top Notes and a piece of Bella Rose DSP for the second set of Top Notes.  I trimmed the Bella Rose Top Note at the crease.  For the scallop top I used the Scallop Circle Bigz Die with Pink Pirouette and then used my Coluzzle to cut the Bella Rose DSP a little smaller.  You could use the new Circle Scissor Plus if you have it...if you WANT it just order it here.  I used eyelts to secure the holes at the top for the Certainly Celery ribbon.  The front is embellished using 5-petal flower punch...I used Pink Pirouette for the flower and Glorious Green for leaves.  It's secured with a Build-A-Brad with a piece of Bella Rose in the center.  The inside is a small box I made.

I just realized there is no stamping on this project.  I hope you enjoyed it.
