Paper Purse/Tote for Happy Bday Shoppers

The vibrant In Color combination from the Global Design Project challenge #gdp449 felt like just the ones to use for today’s Live Crafting project

Your stampin’ stash can be used for MORE than cards, and this little purse/shopping tote/beach bag template can be used for gifting things such as gift cards, candy, money, jewelry, etc. The finished size of the box itself is 3.75″ tall, 3.5″ wide and 1″ deep.

The inspiration for the gift bags in the shopping cart came from a swap from my team mate Heather Goins, a.k.a. the Crazy Cardmaker. I love how she stamped onto patterned paper and colored the tissue paper in!

Normally, I wouldn’t pair foil paper AND glimmer paper, but this time it really added all the shimmer needed for a birthday celebration.

This is the month to add the NEW Attention Shoppers bundle to your collection: A stamp set + die bundle is discounted 10% when it is new to a catalog or publication PLUS in June 2024, bundles are an *additional* 10% off!

Did you notice the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines are also 10% off?

The video will walk you through creating this boxy tote, and scroll down for printable instructions using the Tune In Bundle!

You can keep going to the tutorial but don’t forget to click and add these products to your shopping cart:

I had created this pattern for a project that I shared with the Stampin’ Leaders Project Sheet group. The instructions will give you the same measurements for the Attention Shoppers version!

I wanted to show something you could make with these colors and potential items in your kit, so I demonstrated a simple stamping project on my Facebook page, inspired by a layout from the new annual catalog:

I failed to mention that this card is the ideal size to include a gift of ca$h, and here’s what I would stamp on the inside:

Basic masking and fussy cutting techniques are shared in the video you can watch here:

While that’s the smartest way to collect the colors quickly, you could also opt to add them one-at-a-time to your toolbox over the next 5 months by joining my In Color Collectors Club, including getting the new Basic Beige color collection FREE!

Add In Color to Your Creation Station

It’s easy to grow to love a color as you use it to make pretty projects, but with this year’s IN COLORS (coming in May), it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

Don’t those colors just make you CHEERFUL? Paired with stripes and dots, they create a very happy card. Also a peek at the coming “Attention Shoppers” stamp set arriving with the new annual catalog in May!

To serve my customers who want to collect them ALL (but want to spread it out over a few months), I’ve designed an IN COLOR COLLECTORS CLUB where you join to receive each color one month at a time, with a sampling of ALL the products in that color (only a few of the items are shown below)!

Here’s how it works:

Each month (starting May through September 2024), you will receive one each of the new IN COLORS:

  • Classic Ink Pad
  • Classic Ink Refill
  • Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack
  • 4 sheets of card stock
  • Four 6″x6″ pieces of Designer Series Paper 
  • 2 yards of ribbon
  • One 6″ x 6″ piece of Glimmer Paper
  • The Stampin’ Write Marker of the same color

+ PLUS a bonus embellishment sample each month!

+ PLUS an exclusive project tutorial – supplies for the project will be included FREE (you’ll use your own ink and any stamp set to complete the project)

** BONUS: At the completion of the club, you’ll receive the Basic Beige Bonus FREE (Classic Ink Pad and Ink Refill, 4 pieces of 8.5″ x 11″ card stock and 2 yards of 3/8″ ribbon) with your Pretty In Pink color collection.

Monthly Club Membership Fee: $45 (plus $6 for shipping or pick up from Loni’s house in Hurricane, UT).
