personalized coin purses & possibilities...

Hello all!  Welcome to a super fun and unique Papertrey Ink group post.  Today's post will highlight the new, Coin Purse and Coin Purse Pocket dies - You'll LOVE these!  My inspiration for my coin purse comes from this photo below:

 

I chose black and cream toile fabric for my coin purse and made it very sturdy by using Heat 'N Bond.  After I stitched my zipper in place, which is entirely so simple, I added trim to the bottom of my purse before stitching the sides and bottom closed.  

I then used the Coin Purse Pocket die and Vintage Cream felt and created a pocket for the front of my purse.  I used a blanket stitch around the edges and then used the new Seasonal Stitching:  Clover die and vintage trim to create my ruffled flower for the front of my purse.  I used Vintage Cream felt and the Bitty Button Stacks to embellish the center of my flower as well as Spring Moss felt and the new Embellished Elegance die for the leaves.  A bit of rhinestone chain across the top and some trinket pins for decoration, and that's about it!  

I slipped a handmade tag inside the pocket and used the new Just Smile and Birthday Classics:  March & April stamp sets as well as the new Limitless Layers 1 1/2" Square dies and the Tag Sale #2 die.  

The Coin Purse Pocket die makes a fun addition to the front of a card.  I cut mine from vellum and after embossing a sentiment from the Just Smile set onto the vellum pocket, I filled it with a few sequins.  Flowers from the Just Smile stamp set and coordinating die collection were used across the bottom of the card, on the pocket, and also on the coordinating tag.  

I used the new Tag Sale #10 dies along with the Seasonal Stitching:  Eggs dies (for the heart).  All such amazing products.

My ink colors used here are Classic Kraft, Melon Berry, and Sweet Blush, with Zing! Blush used as my embossing powder color.

I can't wait to pop on over and visit the other designers' blogs to see what they've created with these products.  Remember all of these new release items will be available to purchase on March 15th at 10 PM EST at www.papertreyink.com.

Too funny, as I was viewing the other designer posts was thinking to myself 'I wonder if a blanket or whip stitch would work?' Beautiful execution Melis! Your flower embellishment is the perfect finishing touch!
