Wednesday of Challenge!

As I told you yesterday, today's challenge is about Semi Handmade projects!! Do you read yesterday post here? Well, this mini purses have been in my to alter it list for long time! But Friday night! I was a little bit late for a little gift I want to do for my downline's meeting! so I grab them and I just do the tags using the Super Jumbo Scallop and Extra Jumbo Circle punches and the Celebration Time Stamp set! a little bit of ribbon and you go girl!!

I was sooo happy to have those little purses in my workshop closet! because even when I think I am "Wonder Woman", I didn't have the time to create a little something from scratch, so the Semi Handmade projects are a great thing to go when you are in a hurry, so next time you are shopping look for this kind of stuff that you can add a little something and make them pop!! Sometimes we have the time to do so from scratch, but sometimes you don't! If you are like me, I know you have a lot of stuff in your to do list for Semi Handmade Projects, go grab something and share with me! Don't forget to go shopping here! you will need some stuff to add that special touch! and there is a lot of stamps here with a 25% off.

Mini Purse Scallop Tutorial

Hey, Mother's Day is almost here! so if you need to dome quick and simple yet a cute gift! here is something you can try!

You need a 4 X 4 piece and 2 scalloped punches for each mini purse you need.

First: Score the scallops at 2. Stamp or embelish one of the scallops piece as you want.

Second: Score the 4 X 4 pieces at 1½ and 2½, turn the piece and score at 1 and 3. With this you are going to make a little box as you may see in the template!

Third: Add the scallops to the box and embellish more if desired.

Note: For the handle cut a little bit of cardstock and you can attach it with glue dots or brads, depends on what you are going to give inside of them!

Hope you like it and give it a try! this is super cute and very easy to do!! If you want to get the products for make this, you can go to my store to get them: Giga Scalloped Circle Punch, Scor Pal, Kraft Cardstock, Audrey Embelishment Jar, Angelee Paper Collection.

Love,

Fifth Day of Christmas! and another how to...

I got 3 packages today, but I wasn't here!!!! Now I can't wait til tomorrow to go to the Postal Office to get them!! what that can be? Oh well I know that are scrapbooking stuff! but 2 boxes are from TAC! so I know that I have there my NEW PINK Bind IT All!! and some other cool stuff to play with!! Can't wait!! I have about 2-3 mini albums ready to go just waiting for the BIA to finish them!!

Do you remember about the 3 X 11 piece of cardstock that I have from yesterday chocolate pocket card? Well I just thought that I need to something with it (other than a mini card or a gift tag!) and this was what I did!! Do you like it? I enjoy doing it!! is just a quick idea for those moments when you need to do something quick and that you can use a lot!! I have the calendar pages to create some CD calendar! but I need to cut more for that! because those was the perfect size for this idea and I can keep it on my purse!! what fabulous idea!!

How to:

Score the 3 X 11 piece of cardstock at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, 10 and 10 1/2
Print a 2009 calendar at your computer (size is 2 3/4 x 3
Then embelish as you desire!! and you're DONE!! I did mine like a purse and use the Reece paper because I have lots of scraps on my table!! so I need to use them or toss them so I prefer to used them! If you need more instructions please let me know, is really late and I'm tired, I will try to draw a template tomorrow!!

Have a great weekend!!
