I have honestly had a crazy week. Like "try not to eat carbs because you are stressed" week. I didn't cave though. It was tough!! When I finally sat down to create a project for this challenge, I didn't know what to do. So, I went for a walk to pick up the mail and inside the mailbox was a pretty envelope containing the holiday catalog from Tiffany & Co. That was my inspiration for the challenge.
So, in my homage to Tiffany & Co. I created a little "purse card" in Coastal Cabana with some sparkly, girly accents. I used the Eastern Elegance DSP for some pattern and dressed it up a bit. My handbag card was cut by hand (no pattern), which is something I think I have done only one other time. It might not be perfect but it was fun to create. I used an oval die cut to trim round the handle of the purse, then punched out the "middle" of the handle with the XL Oval punch. I am actually going make a few adjustments to the measurements to make this a gift card holder for an upcoming class...and possibly a tutorial.

I have to say that this is one of my favorite things you've ever done! Love your Tiffany-inspired purse! No wonder I love that color so much---now if I could just afford to go there! And so happy about your sweet little kitty....I think you all belong together for sure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a shaped card, Ann Marie! It's such a super sweet, girly girl creation. I love it! I hope you will share how you turn this into a gift card holder. Congrats on the newest addition to your family, too!
ReplyDeleteAnn Marie what a great Tiffany inspired card. So cute. Love the colors and so feminine. I know what you mean about falling off the earth. This year (especially the fall) has been crazy busy at work and home.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Happy Holidays
Beautiful and blingy! I love it, Anne Marie! Congrats on the newest addition to your family!
ReplyDeleteAM - this card is classic you. Soft, feminine and fabulous! The shape of the card, the ruffled ribbon, the little pearls.... gorgeous! Thank you for rocking my challenge.
ReplyDeleteNow... on to Tony. I CANNOT believe that noone wanted to adopt this gorgeous little cat. He's found the perfect home with you, though. Bless you for everything you do for our four-legged babies.
Hugs

Cute is the only way to describe your purse! I can see making that into a gift card holder too! What a lucky kitten to be adopted into your home. We are furloughing a Cocker Spaniel that was rescued from a backyard breeder, adopted, returned, they said because he bit someone in the family. What a funny little clown he is and he has not shown any bad habits with us, he loves to snuggle! He has found his fur-ever home with our pack of two Chocolate Labs and another puppy mill rescue, Abby, who is also a Cocker Spaniel! They add so much to our lives too!! Have a wonderful day. Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card and kitty! I'm sure Triplet is very thankful!
ReplyDeleteAdorable card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous purse, AM! I think Tiffany's should feature it in their next catalog. It is so perfectly done with every detail and I especially love the ruffled ribbon. As perfectly sweet as "Tony-Three-Legs". So happy you have a new addition! Happy Thanksgiving, my friend! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable card!
