Red White & Blue week will wrap up tomorrow and I've really enjoyed having a color theme. What do you think? Would you like to see a week long set of posts created around a particular color theme?? Leave a comment and let me know!
So today's Red White & Blue project is a cute purse created with the Petite Purse Big Shot Die Cut. What's unique with this Red White & Blue project is the materials I used! Today I will share those unique materials with you and how I came to use these unique materials in my project.
Wanting to challenge myself I decided to purchase some metal sheets. The starter pack I received had all sorts of different colors, and of course some of those were red and blue and silver (which I used as my "white"). I started out trying to use an adhesive sheet on the back of the dark blue metal and white card stock to "stiffen it up" but it was difficult to work with after I die cut it (It was difficult to fold on the lines. ) Then I decided to use a blue metal sheet alone and that was way to flimsy. So then I thought, what if I just used the dark blue metal sheets on the front of the project. I did and this is how it turned out!
- To get this look I ran the blue metal through the fancy fan embossing folder.
- Then I cut out the metal to fit just on the parts I wanted to show on the purse and placed it dark blue side down on the Petite Purse Die Cut.
- Then I ran a sheet of Whisper White Card Stock through the big shot using Petite Purse Die Cut and folded on all the lines.
- Next I took the metal and adhered them to proper coordinating spots on the Whisper White Purse that was die cut.
- Then I put the purse together (I recommend sticky strip for this project)
- Then I used the Fun Flowers Bigz die cut and cut out flowers in Red and Silver
- Then I ran the flowers through the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder
- Then I just layered the flower using sticky strip
- Then I attached a greeting
