End the Summer with Petite Pockets
Ciao Bella,
Ok … I have a confession to make this morning …. When I comes to gardening ….I am really cheap…I love to work in the garden and have beautiful flowers…but what I can't stand is the price of plants for the garden ….even seeds…..So this time of year I always have little envelopes in my purse…..so that when I'm out and about and I happen across a plant or flower, that happens to be "going to seed" ….I collect the seeds….embarrassing I know …but what can I say…..
So When Stampin Up Add the Petite Pocket Bigz Die to their collection …I was so excited…The first thing that came to mind were the old fashioned seed packets from yestar year…so I just had to make my own version …
For something intended to eventually be taken to the garden , I didn't want to go too fancy ….Here is what the die looks like
I didn't do anything fancy with the pocket ….just used it as it was intended….. Oh before I forget, even though this is a BIGZ die ….you only need 81/2 x 11 card stock to make it … that is sooo super cool…..anyway before I assembled the pocket I stamped the sun flower image in Early espresso randomly all over the Very Vanilla pocket …. and I stamp the image on a piece of scrap very Vanilla. the , the Image on the scrap …I used a sponge dauber and "pounced" Daffodil Delights to Color it …..then are you ready for this ….. I fussy cut the image out…..I know … me and scissors not always a good mix …but I did ok this time…then I attached the image to the Flap of the pocket…with a color coordinating brad…Then I figures out where I wanted my other brad to go …to make the "old string closures"….. popped that brad in … used sticky strip to close the pocket up … added my bakers twine and BINGO, we have a winner …..I just think this is the cutest thing…..
Let me show you the Creative Elements Stamp Set …..This one is going to become a Favorite real fast
How gorgeous is this set …..it can take you from silly and whimsical to elegant and vintage…..this is one of those all purpose stamp sets you really need to own …..
Ok … tomorrow is Freak Flag Friday …so I'm off to get ready for that…
