I made this for my "BEST FRIEND". We have been friends for over 20 years and she is turning the "BIG 40" in May. I thought this would be cute, fun and still use BLACK but not make it so dreadful!
So I cut the purse with chipboard ( I wanted it to be sturdy) at 5 1/4 and then cut the Stampin Up paper to cover at the same size for a more decorative look. I wanted to put something to emphasize her birthday so I made little paper lollipops. I covered the white lollipop sticks with some ribbon. I cut the lollipop shapes from Accent Essentials in 3 different sizes. I ran 2 of the sizes thru my Zyron so I could add the glitter for a little bling. I LOVE that little machine! I also put floral foam in the inside so the sticks will be sturdy. Added a little glitter, ribbon, some wire and some paper from my scraps for a filler.
I made a coordinating card that slips inside the purse!
The materials I used is as follows;
Cartridges: Tags,Bags,Boxes and More, Accent Essentials, Wild Card, Storybook
Stamps: Papertrey Ink~ Around and About Sentiments & Birthday Bash
Paper: Stampin Up, Papertrey Ink and Black Chipboard
Extras: Martha Stewart Glitter, Memento Black, Inkseentials Enamel Accents, ribbon, lollipop sticks and wire
So for my blog candy I will be giving away some of the products I used to make my project.
Xyron 5" Creative Station (510)
Inkssentials Enamel Accents pack (black and white)
Martha Stewart 3 pack glitter and glue( onyx, sterling, hematite)
