Sweet Purse Gift Bag with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with a sweet way to give a small gift or gift card.  May & June are crazy around here… tons of birthdays, anniversaries, graduations…and more.  I can always use a cute way to package up a gift or gift card.  Here’s what I created…

I used Lori’s new Purse Shaped Box file (found here in the Silhouette Store) for my project.  It’s adorable on its own, but I decided to dress it up a bit by adding some stitching and a big flower embellishment!  I’m so happy with the results, and I can’t wait to give it away!!  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Eye Candy by Mendi and Joy

Today we have 2 of our talented ladies on the blog, Mendi and Joy. Mendi is up first with an adorable Easter layout…
“Well, as promised I challenged myself to use Lori’s new Echo Park collections to create an Easter layout. What took me by suprise though was that rather than going with the more girly “Sweet Girl” line, I ended up using her “About A boy” line almost exclusively. Just goes to show how versatile these papers can be for all sorts of themes including a girly project.   When it came to embellishing my page I turned to Lori’s fun spring shapes.  I think one of my favorite things about diecutting my own embellishments (aside from saving loads of money) has to be dressing them up. With the help of some chalk ink, hand stitching, foam tape and buttons, Lori’s flower, chicks & butterflies totally came to life!   I used her LW Happy font for my title, topped with some Glossy Accents. I love how doing this gives you the feeling of a fancy alphabet sticker, but the beauty is it’s always the perfect size to fit your space and you’ll never running out of vowels”.   🙂
For today’s layout I used the following cutting files:
Also don’t forget that today is the last day to get all these great shapes and many more for 25% off using the promo code “March25” at checkout.

Next we have Joy with the cutest gift’s. Joy says…

These purse toppers are so cute!  Cut them to fit any bag you already have to turn it into an adorable gift holder.  It’s such a versatile file.  You can dress it to fit any occasion.  Use it to hold gift cards, candy and more!

Coasters Anyone?

Check out these fun coasters by our 1 and only Joy! I absolutely love what she created with these files. Personalized coasters. You could do this for so many different events/themes. After she added the vinyl to the coaster she used felt feet to prevent them from scratching, another GREAT IDEA!

Joy has a lot more photos and instructions on her blog so head on over to check it out.
