Petite Purse Die

I just LOVE this die!! I have been making tons of purses to put treat inside. These purses were made for my daughter's birthday party, inside we put a lipgloss and a ring. Her friends fell in love with these.

When you have collected 20 clues then leave a comment on this post and send me an email to: stampwithlaur@gmail.com and put Treasure Hunt in the subject line, listing the clue & blog where they were found. I will put all correct entries into a draw to be held May 15, 2012. The winner will receive FREE STAMPIN UP Product from me. Become a follower of my blog as well as submitting the list and I will enter your name twice into the drawing.

Good Luck and Happy Searching!!


Here is my clue:

          Stampin Write Markers

For a soft watercolour look, outline your image with a Stampin’ Write Marker, and then use a Blender Pen, Aqua Painter, or water-dampened watercolour brush to pull and blend the marker colours into the area you desire.

You can custom-colour images by colouring directly on the stamp. Use the flexible brush tip on its side to shade and blend colours right on the rubber. The fine point lets you easily colour small areas of the stamp. You can also omit parts of the design by colouring only those features you want to stamp.

Turtle & Co. Stamp Set

Every year Stampin Up designs an exclusive stamp set to help raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). For every stamp set sold, Stampin Up donates $3 to RMHC. Last years set was Turtle & Co. (#122870 W / #122872 C).

This set is available until May 31 and then it will be gone forever, to order just go to my Online Store.

Here are a couple cards that I did:

 For the above card I used Pink Pirouette for the base, layered with Certainley Celery and Soft Suede Cardstock. The card below has a base of Whisper White with a piece of Designer Series Paper layered on top. The image and sentiment are layered on a piece of Early Espresso cardstock.

 



Happy Crafting!
