I CASED an idea from fellow demonstrator Cheryl LeFore.  She made a small version of Becky Robert's purse to give out at my upline's recent meeting and I just had to come home and figure out how to replicate the pattern from a photo I took at the meeting.

My version is a bit simpler in style.  I used 1/2 sheet of DSP and a couple of sheets of coordinating cardstock to make the purse and 6 matching 3"x3" notecards.

A different version of my pursebag that I will feature at an upcoming class.  Students will learn how to cut up one sheet of DSP to make the bag and 6 cards.

This card was designed by my downline Suzy Halford.  See the unique "embossed" star background?  Suzy gave me the following instructions to make your own custom Star "Texturz Plate" (shown to the right of the card above).

To make the pseudo "Texturz plate" for the Not Quite Navy base card: 1) Punch lots of large and small stars out of scrap cardstock 2) glue three stars together to make a thick star-repeat until you have at least 6 stacks of large and 10 stacks of the small stars 3) Glue these stacked stars on a sheet of cardstock (I used 5" x 7").  You now have a custom Texturz plate!

How to use the custom Star Texturz plate: Run your base cardstock through the Big Shot using the multipurpose platform by stacking in the following order 1) Standard Cutting Pad 2) "Star Texturz Plate" that you just made 3)Standard Texturz Impressions Pad 4)another Standard Cutting Pad.
