Another update of a previous class project.  Instructions can be found here.

Some of the products used are soon to be retired and only available while supplies last so be sure to order ASAP: Four You stamp set; Flowerpot DSP; Aporthecary Accents framelits; Flower Frenzy Bigz L die; Essentials paper piercing template.

Garden Green stamp pad;  Garden Green, Tangerine Tango and Crushed Curry cardstock; Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches;  Honeycomb and Decorative Dots TIEF; Pearl basic jewels.

So after making all my satchel class kits using the Painted Blooms DSP I was left over with quite a few of the sheets that had one big garden design printed on them.

That design wouldn't work with my standard class kits (which uses just one sheet of DSP), so I decided to find a way to use these up, which led me to create a slightly larger version of the satchel that uses 2 sheets of DSP and allowed me to make 5 full-size (A2) cards.

I started out using Soft Sky as the trim and wasn't completely sold on it so tried another version with Rose Red Trim.  I ended up making up about 8 of these satchels which I will offer for sale to my customers who didn't get a chance to make one on their own.

And to answer the probable question, no, these will not be available as a class kit as I used up all my paper!! (and no, I don't have instruction for this version as yet)

The card on the right might be another card option for my Painted Petals class…

Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi and Blackberry Bliss inkpads and cardstocks.

Not sure which of these two of these cards inspired by ones designed by Caro will be featured at my upcoming Painted Petals stamp set based class.

The card on the left will likely be another option at my Painted Petals class.  Based on a design by artisan Vicky H.

Pacific Point and Wild Wasabi inkpads; Ticket punch (soon to be retired).

I am going to offer a product based class in May featuring the Painted Petals stamp set.  Class attendees will get the photopolymer version of this stamp set and make 5 different cards using this set.  This card will likely be one of the choices. 

Painted Petals, Butterfly Basics and Hardwood stamp sets;Melon Mambo and Old Olive inkpads; Crumb Cake cardstock and inkpad; Bitty Butterfly punch; Pearls basic jewels.

Inspired by a card by Linda L.

Again, I used the soon to be retired Flower Frenzy die as well as the Berry Basket die and Woodgrain TIEF; Handpicked framelits and soon to be retired Boho Blossoms punch.

Real Red, Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Soft Sky cardstocks.

I CASEd this card idea from Megumi H with a few extra flowers…

The Flower Frenzy die is now only available while supplies last so be sure to order it ASAP!

Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Blush Blossom, Wild Wasabi and Crumb Cake cardstocks; Hardwood stamp set; Crumb Cake inkpad; Berry Basket die; Handpicked framelits.

This will be the last of the satchel projects I will be posting for a while.  This time I used a retired DSP from the Sweet Sorbet DSP that was part of SAB last year…I used the Painted Petals stamp set again and the stamp pad colors are Soft Sky and Basic Black.

I have 5 of these available as kits.  If you're interested, email me privately at chiaki@stampingpro.com

An updated version of my mini cardholder purse project from 2013.  I used the Flowerpot DSP.  One sheet of DSP used to make this small purse and six 3" x 3" notecards with embellished envelopes.
