Here is what I made for my Stampers club Girls and handed them out Saturday night .. The Pretty in pink note card I used whisper white also and the main heart is from the "Simply said " stamp set then for the little hearts in the background and the saying I used "Small Saying " stamp set in the Winter mini. I stamped everything in Pretty in pink classic ink except for the saying I stamped that in regal rose. I also used the ticket corner punch .. I then added Lt pink Gingham ribbon by stapling an X to attached the ribbon, What card couldn't use a like doodle? So with my white gel pen doodled tiny dots down the edge of the top mat .. OK now for the tiny nugget purse ..OH my are these so stinkin cute or WHAT? All thanks goes to Brenda Quintana she shared hers with SCS ( I believe ) anyway here is my take on her sample .. Here are the measurements ..
Cut your cs out at 1 3/8 by 4 3/4 punch one end of the strip with the tag punch ( turn your tag punch over and slide your strip in from the punched out area punching out ONLY the tag punch angles ) I used the very punny stamp set ( omitting the pig and just stamped tickled pink ) and I also stamped the little pieces stamp with regal rose to get the tone on tone look for the purse . ok starting at the tag punch end score at 3/4 , 1", 2 1/4', and 3 1/4" Then cut off any remaining cs so your total end length will be 4 1/2" long . I cut out any length of ribbon for the handle ( Brenda said to cut 4" ) but cut to your liking attach with a glue dot or sticky strip to the inside where you scored at 3/4 and 1". Then I stamped in whisper white cs with regal rose one of the little pieces stamp and punched a 1/16 punch for the tiny circle in the center of the little pieces image 1st , then punch the image out with the 1/2 circle punch . fold up all scored marks and while holding the flap closed up purse & punch a 1/16 tiny hole in the center of the flap going through both layers of your purse secure your white circle piece with a colored brad .. I than added the nugget with 2 glue dots when the purse is all put together ( at least this was the easiest way for me to add the candy .. after the purse was put together) seems like alot to do for such a tiny purse BUT really its Not much at all especially after you 1st make one .. maybe I will do a tutorial on these cute purses for you soon How does that sound ? they are really so very simple and ooooohhh so cute ..
All my Girls loved their gifts .. and Then Gina ( my Hostess for our club night ) brought us all gifts also she gave us all decorative scissors she found at Michaels 2 for $1 Yahoo! super fun night stampin with all my friends . OH and lets not forget Gina's Famous Onion soup .. OH my this was to die for .. I kept telling everyone it was nasty , just so they wouldn't eat it all But no one seemed to listen Hee! Hee! it was YUM-O.. Thanks Gina for being our Great Hostess.

You are quite welcome! It was B I G fun at the club meeting, especially since it was my turn to be the Hostess. I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the soup. There was barely 1 bowl left out of a receipe that I quadrupled. I was so excited and want to thank everyone for helping me earn all that great stuff with my hostess credits! Thank you, thank you very much!!!!!

I have been reading your blog for a few weeks and I just love it. Love the way you put detailed instructions on it etc.
You have taught me a few things for sure. Someday I hope to start one, but working full time is tough
besides being an Su Demo.
Great job with everything
