Making Purses . . .

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!

I've been anxious to share my latest obsession with you!
'PAPER PURSES' ... yep that's what I said!!

Check 'em out ... they are so darn cute!



 I saw these in blogland somewhere (forgive me for not writing down the link)  (UPDATE:   BFF Diane reminded me that we first saw these cute purses at our friend and team mate Julie's blog) and I just couldn't wait to get my hands on the die.  It's available right now at the Dies R Us Store.


 Concord & 9th - Dies - Everyday Purse

 There are a variety of Youtube videos that will help you get started.
The ones I liked the best were by Carrie Rhoades ... she has a series of 4 videos.

 Here are a couple more!
I'm thinking the Country Club Ladies will LOVE these so I'm working
on several in hopes that our Fall Show doesn't get cancelled like our Spring Show did.
A couple little Hershey Kisses inside and I think they will be a HIT!
What do you think?




Don't you just love that little tassel??!!!
There are other little embellishment in this set but for right now
I think I'll just stick with the tassel.

Challenges to share in:

Southern Girls Challenge - Anything Goes

Crafty Creations Challenge #408 - Anything Goes (2)
Word Art Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
Arty Divas Challenge #20 - Anything Goes

Well that's it for me today!  I really need to get busy on a birthday card 
for my 'other half'!  His birthday is Sunday and with all the restaurants closed,
I can't take him out to dinner so I guess a special card is all he'll be getting this year.
LOL  He's SO HARD to buy for so I've kind of just given up on that idea. 

UPDATE:
I've had a question on the size of these purses ... here's a visual for you.
They have enough room inside for a gift card or a few Hershey Kisses.
Actually roomier than I first anticipated!

 

Take care ... stay healthy ... and thanks for taking the time to stop by!!
Cyber Hugs to you!!

  13. Oh. My. GOSH!!!!! I would carry any one of these purses! This is the CUTEST thing I've seen in forever! You have a real eye for style because you did an amazing job with choosing your papers and colors. I can't get over these. The die is now out of stock, probably because of you. I see you have a second post so I'm off to look at those, too, but first I want to wish your hubby a happy birthday today!
