Just Add Ink #78 - Colour Challenge

It's a Colour Challenge again at Just Add Ink this week, I branched out from my usual card-entry and made something a little different! I needed a gift-card holder for a birthday, so I whipped up one of Lauren Meaders "Cash Or Charge" little creations!
As you can see, the blue tab at the top pulls up which pulls out a sheet with the giftcard adhered to it. (I have propped this giftcard holder up for the photo - it doesn't stand by itself). It is 11cm wide and 8cm high. (I was going to add link to where you can purchase this template, but blogger is playing up again and won't let me hyperlink or anything!!!)
cardstock: sahara sand, certainy celery
ink: chocolate chip, night of navy, certainly celery
chocolate chip DSP, sponge dauber, twine, tag punch, round tab extra-large
stamps: in the stars, happy memories

Shimmery-Rosey-Pretty Petal Pocket Handbag!

I'm having so much fun using some of Lauren Meader's wonderful templates!

This little handbag is called "Pretty Petal Pocket" and you, too, can purchase her easy-to-follow template here for a great price of $5 only! Bargain I reckon! I'm making approx 1doz of these little cuties for my daughters upcoming birthday party (pics will be up soon!).

This one is made in Basic Black and the fabulous pink floral paper is from my local craft shop and its all shimmery and pearly and just so so yummy! I love it! This rose, is actually my very 1st one I attempted to make at my friend Rochelle's house. It is Melon Mambo with pink glimmer mist sprayed all over to give it a real "shimmer! Love it!!!!

The black ribbon is a non-SU grosgrain & I have used Stampin' Ups Sticky Strip to ensure the bag definitely stays together! LOVE Sticky Strip - and I've almost run out too!!!

Thanks for coming to have a little look! I love having you visit my blog!
