So get your  cutter, bone folder ( or any other scoring tool  you have ) , adhesive( glue dots /sticky strip  etc.. whatever you have on hand ) ,  CS,  1 brad, 1/16, 1/2 circle punch & your Tag punch and  at least 3 "of cordinating ribbon  and of course your  chocolate nugget & any stamp  and ink you want to use gonna be a fun tutorial 

stay tuned ..CYA

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.

They left Friday night and came back yesterday afternoon .. sure did miss them a Bunch  Now it looks like  another  laundry day  Plus Jessie doesn't have school today  due to parent teacher conferences . She has a Big science project due tomorrow   so she will be putting the final touches on that . Last night Hubby  made up another Resume' so   thats a step in the right direction ..

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
