Hello my stamping friends, today is an exciting day! I am sharing with you my first creation with the Weekender Handbag from Concord & 9th, designed by my friend Becky Roberts from Inking Idaho. I fell in love with the first purse die set Becky designed, the Everyday Purse. So much so that I did and entire YouTube series on it. You can see those videos right here.
What is even more fun is that all of us that are designing for Concord & 9th this month thought we would come together and link our projects in a hop. Giving you lots of inspiration with this new die set! You can find the complete hop list at the end of this post.
I thought it would be easiest for you to see this purse go together in a video, so you can watch the making of the Weekender Handbag in the video below as well as see the Bright Eyes die set in action.
If you can not see the video below you can also view it right here. If you have not yet subscribed to my YouTube channel you can find it right here.
Now let's take a closer look at the Weekender Handbag Bundle and what I made with it.
To customize this handbag I used the Gingham background stamp, inked it up with Sorbet ink and stamped that onto my already die cut handbag panels. I love the tone on tone look with this pattern. Next I stamped the XO from the coordinating stamp set over this with Mushroom ink.
This die set has amazing embellishments included that you can use to make this purse personalized and have a bit of bling. I just love the little heart locket and coordinating key!
And speaking of embellishing, how about accessorizing you purse?!? With a pair of matching sunglasses! Take a look at the die set that made these glasses, Bright Eyes !
Not only did I make a pair of glasses for my purse but I made a card with this die set as well.
And it was so much fun to make all these glasses in rainbow on a slimline card.
For the fun background on this 8-1/2" x 3-1/2" panel I used the ink cube direct to paper in rainbow order; Honey Suckle, Butter Cup, Parsley, Aqua Sky , and Eggplant. These are the same colors of card stock I used for the glasses themselves.
For fun I aded a die cut heart to each lease of each pair of glasses, which is a die from the Weekender Handbag die set. I added a bit of Shimmer to the glasses with a black wink of Stella. Pretty gorgeous I think!
