I've been getting ready for my upcoming Circle Bag w/Matching Mini cards class so am posting another sample.

I used the new Sweet Pea DSP (from the Occasions mini catalog) and the Happy Moments set that you can get FREE during Sale-a-bration.  You can make the bag and matching cards with just one sheet of DSP (Designer Series Paper) and some additional coordinating cardstock.

So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Taken with Teal cardstock, inkpads and markers; Beautiful Butterflies and Pennant dies; Scallop Trim Border and 1-3/4" Circle punches; Perfect Polka Dots and Bouquet Impressions folders.

4/1 update: The instructions are now posted in the Instruction Tab above or click here.

This version is stamped VERY similarly to the one that Becky Roberts made.  I just changed up the colors and added my own twist using my own holder pattern/design.  This is one of the options for my Milk Carton Holder classes that I am offering this month.

Eggcoutrements and Well Scripted stamp sets (Occasions Mini catalog), Fast Flowers wheel; So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Orchid Opulence inkpads and  cardstocks; 1/4", 3/4" and 1" Circle punches, Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches and Trio Flower punch; Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder; SU! Mini Milk Carton die; White Grosgrain ribbon; Window sheets.

4/1 update: The instructions are now posted in the Instruction Tab above or click here.

An Easel card based on a card found on the SU! demonstrator only website.  The instructions for the Easel card can be found on Splitcoaststampers under resources.

Old Olive cardstock and inkpad, So Saffron cardstock; Sweet Pea DSP; Beautiful Wings embosslit; Eyelet border and 1-3/8" circle punches; Crimper; Summer Sun Corduroy button; Well Scripted stamp set.

To make the flower:  Cut two 1" x 11" strips of cardstock and use the eyelet border punch along one edge of each piece.  Put the strips through the crimper twice.  Place sticky strip all over a circular piece of cardstock (I used the 1-3/8" punch).  Starting at the outer edge of the circle, slowly place one crimped piece around the circle, pinching in along the bottom edge of the strip and work your away around and inwards.  When you run out of paper add the other strip until you reach the center and cut off the extra.  Punch a hole in the center and add the brad.  Voila-you're done!

To make the leaves:  Cut a circle out of cardstock using the 1-3/8" circle punch.  Place the circle piece back into the punch about 1/2 way and punch again.  Fold the "leaf" in 1/2 lengthwise and send through the crimper.

A card based on one by fellow demonstrator Lee Conrey-thanks for the idea Lee!  This Sale-a-bration set is very versatile-and to think you can get it for FREE!!

A purse made with the top note die inspired by Becky Robert's a fellow SU! demonstrator.  Wouldn't you love to receive some chocolates or better yet-a Brighton gift card in this cute container?  Note how the Epoxy brad matches the DSP!

I just love this project so had to make another!

Decided to make an updated sample of my Circle Bag w/ matching cards.  I used the new Sweet Pea DSP (from the Occasions mini catalog) and the Happy Moments set that you can get FREE during Sale-a-bration.  You can make the bag and matching cards with just one sheet of DSP (Designer Series Paper) and some additional coordinating cardstock (I used Old Olive and Taken with Teal) and some other embellishments.  Oh, and I used the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder-I LOVE that folder!

I changed the cutting dimensions for the cards on this particular version so I could make 8 cards and envelopes with matching paper on the flaps but you can download the original instruction sheet here. 

I think this will be the last of the valentines projects for a while…

Left: Sending Love DSP; Love Bandit stamp set; Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip cardstock; Chocolate Chip ink pad; Pretty in Pink marker; Real Red grosgrain ribbon; Square Rhinestone brad; Small cello bag; Word Window, Small Tag and Tag punches.

Right: Real Red and Pretty in Pink cardstock; Real Red ink pad; Love You Much and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets; SU! Scallop Square Bigz Clear die; Heart to Heart, Small Oval, Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches; Real Red Gingham ribbon. (This project was inspired by a tuturial by fellow demonstrator Monika Davis)

To continue on what seems to have become packaging ideas week…A couple of Valentine treatholders using the Petal Card die.  I got the idea on the right while perusing my local Target store!  Want to learn how to make this?  Call or e-mail me to schedule a special workshop today!

BTW-I hope to tape a video tutorial on how to make the one on the right in the next few weeks-stay tuned for an upcoming video tutorial post!

I guess I'm in the packaging mood this week…here is a project made with the Bags w/Scallops die; Well Scripted Stamp set (Occasions mini); Sending Love DSP; Scallop Oval, Large Oval and Wide Oval punches; Window sheet; Very Vanilla Tafetta Ribbon
