December Holiday Hop
Welcome to the 9th stop on this Holiday Hop!!! I hope you enjoyed your visit with Kim at Stamp, Scrap, Get Kreative. As I am sure you can tell by now, it's the final Hop of 2009 and we plan to go out with a blast. The theme of this Hop is all about Christmas!! In keeping my own personal challenge, I did a 3-D item. This Top Note purse was all the rage on Splitcoast and must do on my list.
I utilized paper from the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit. Those kits are so very versatile that you can't afford not to get one. They also make coordination a breeze. The purse is very easy to make with two Top Notes and Scallop Circle for the top. All are cut with your Big Shot in a snap. See complete instructions here. The tag is made from a retired set Tags So Much. After stamping, I punched it out with the large tag punch and used gold elastic cord to tie it around the purse handle which double stitch real red ribbon. The top closure is scallop circle with sticker from the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin Kit and rhinestone gem as an accent.
Now who's says Christmas as to be all Red and Green - Black and red are a huge hit for Christmas and what inspired me to make this card.- The Santa Clause image from Just Beclause was first colored in with ink pads and Aqua Painters - I strayed from the norm and made his trim red to really show off the wording in his coat.
- The image was then layered on top of Real Red that was embossed with Petals a Plenty.
- The image was first colored it in with ink pads and Aqua Painters
- Two whisper White 2 3/4" squares were embossed with the same folder make nice frame above and below
- The sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes is stamped in Basic Black and then embossed with clear embossing powder and punched with the modern label punch TIP: Clear embossing powder is great way to get a shiny image without having to buy embossing powder in every color
- The striped grosgrain ribbon and bow finish off the card

The Top Note purse is terrific and I love your card, too! It is funny that we both went with the black and red on our cards. Just called out to me to use them.
