I sized it to fit a 1-5/8oz bag of David Sunflower Seeds and then some! It’s a great size for so many things! Think theater candy, sunflower seeds and baseball tickets, candy bars and gift cards… the list goes on!

I had fun choosing different woodgrain patterns from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper! Here’s a look at the 3 versions I’ve made so far:

Love of Leaves Thinking of You

Today’s “thinking of you” card features the Love of Leaves Bundle paired with the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper!

This is a handmade card made with the Love of Leaves Stampin' Up! product suite and the sentiment says I thought of you today.

I absolutely LOVE the Love of Leaves Bundle! Fall is my favorite season, for one, but I am also in love with the Stitched Leaves Dies and how the stitching is on the negative cutout!

For this card, I first stamped the Shaded Spruce leaf directly onto the card base using the Stamparatus. Then I took a piece of Whisper White that measured 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (same size as the folded card base) and stamped the leaf onto it. Then I removed 1/8″ from all 4 sides to keep the stamped image in the center of the layer. Now that piece will perfectly lay over the card base with the leaf peaking through.

I added a 1″ strip of Plaid Tidings DSP and tied a Braided Linen Trim bow above it. For the sentiment, I cut a 5/8″ strip of Cherry Cobbler, heat embossed the sentiment in white, and then trimmed each end to size, angle cutting the left side. The finishing touch is a rhinestone on one of the leaves. Easy, peasy!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:

  • Thick Whisper White card base – 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored and folded in half at 4-1/4″
  • Whisper White layer – 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ to start, then cut down to size after stamping (1/8″ removed from all sides)
  • Plaid Tidings layer – 1″ x 4″
  • Cherry Cobbler layer – 5/8″ strip cut down to size after heat embossing

Flowers for Every Season Clutch Tutorial

This is a handmade flowers for every season clutch craft project created by the Paper Pixie using Stampin' Up! supplies.

Today, I’m sharing a tutorial for a paper clutch/handbag that I’m calling a Flowers for Every Season Clutch!

This is a handmade flowers for every season clutch craft project created by the Paper Pixie using Stampin' Up! supplies.

Here’s a pair of them with two different patterns from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper:

I received a swap several years ago from a team member of mine that I instantly fell in love with and have held onto over the years in the hopes of making one myself! After doing some research, I found out that she followed Bibi Cameron’s tutorial!

I love to “pixiefy” things, so I got to work designing a different version using only one sheet of cardstock (plus a little extra for the handle). My personal handbag inspired this project as well! Here’s a side view:

And a closer look at the front:

It’s a really sturdy clutch and I love the closure – it holds itself together very well! You can use a magnet or Velcro dot to secure it! Here’s how it looks when you lift the flap:

And here’s how it looks all the way open:

The sentiment is heat embossed in white on Night of Navy and die cut using the Tasteful Labels Dies. The Denim Ribbon pairs so well with this suite of products, so I added a little knot off to the side of the sentiment piece. A Frosted Epoxy Dot adds the finishing touch.

Gorgeous Posies – One of my Faves!

This is a handmade card stamped with the Gorgeous Posies Stampin' Up! stamp set and the sentiment says let your faith be bigger than your fear.

Today’s card features one of my favorite stamp sets in the Annual Catalog – Gorgeous Posies! You may have missed it (I did at first), but it’s on the bottom of Page 8! It’s the stamp set that goes with the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit – which is also STUNNING! Here’s my card:

This is a handmade card stamped with the Gorgeous Posies Stampin' Up! stamp set and the sentiment says let your faith be bigger than your fear.

I paired the Gorgeous Posies stamp set with another one of my favorites – Ridiculously Awesome! I am loving the sentiment “Let your faith be bigger than your fear” right now – such a timely sentiment, don’t you think? Both the sentiment and the flower centers have been heat embossed in gold – pictures just cannot do it justice!

This is a handmade card stamped with the Gorgeous Posies Stampin' Up! stamp set and the sentiment says let your faith be bigger than your fear.

There’s a little sneak peek product on this card – Brushed Metallic Cardstock! It will be available for purchase starting August 4 with the launch of the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog! The gold brushed metallic cardstock perfectly matches the heat-embossed gold!

I stamped the posies in Pool Party and then fussy-cut a pair of them. I stamped the leaves directly onto the card front in Pear Pizzazz, and then layered the fussy-cut posies over them, popping up one of them with Dimensionals. Then I added a double-loop bow from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Tonight is my Weekly Wednesday Facebook Live at 8:00pm – I hope you can join us! Click the button below to set a Facebook Reminder. Have a wonderful & blessed day and hope to “see” you tonight!
