Today I have a FUN peek for you 😀 It uses my NEW! Purse-onality Clutch template that is being released on the 15th. I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this particular template. (OK well I guess I love them all, but you get the idea)
I KNOW when you read “purse” you thought GIRLY right?! Well think again!
I am making it MASCULINE!
Just because it is called a “Purse”-onality clutch doesn’t mean its just for girls! Not that it isn’t adorable, but it can be masculine too. Each “purse” can take on a whole new look when you put your very own personal touch to it. Males can be some of the toughest gifts for we papercrafters! Why not try a little briefcase?
By making your cardstock look a bit like a “leather” or textured fabric you can change the entire project.
Here we have “Let’s Be Brief!”
There is nothing feminine about this bag. With a little texture you have a super cute briefcase that makes any guy beam with delight. Fill’er up with his favorite box of chocolates, truffles, turtles, peanuts, cookies, or a great gift card, and he is sure to be happy!
I have some MALE teachers for my kids that are generally neglected in the “handmade” gift department. Well, not this year!
I hope you can see that this clutch is very different. It has a nice double angle to it on the sides, making it super fun to make, and even better to receive!
More ideas will follow!
The tab fits into a perfect little slot, and holds the lid closed. Its a nice touch that finishes it off.
Supplies:
stamps-Limitless Labels
paper-Kraft, Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream
ink- Dark Chocolate, Creamy Caramel
other-Vintage Cream twill, Paper Crimper, cream buttons, sewing machine
Instructions:
1. Print purse-onality clutch template onto Kraft cardstock.
2. Cut, and score per template guide.
3. Cut layers for each panel from dark chocolate cardstock.
4. Run each panel piece through your paper crimper, going in opposite directions, to give it a textured look of leather.
NOTE: DO NOT over squeeze your crimper handle as you go in the opposite direction. It will crimp out the other lines is you do, and we don’t want that!!
5. Sew panels using method of your choice. I sewed mine directly onto my template prior to assembly. Didn’t even think to sew the panels FIRST, then adhere! A huge DUH! moment. YOU get to benefit from my mistakes! LOL!
OPTIONAL METHODS: You can faux sew using a white gel pen, and paper piercer. OR you can sew your panels prior to adhering them to the purse-onality template. OR after they are adhered, sew them on.
6. Once faux leather panels are adhered, assemble template. Add buttons or other embellishments of your choosing.
7. Create a tag to suit the receiver. In this case a MALE teacher!
6. Fill with something delicious.
In this box we have the Mrs. Fields chocolate trio’s that sell for a $1 at the Target $1 spot!
Cute and inexpensive too 😀

One more new write-up with powerful points, I’ve been a lurker below for any brief time but wish to become a great deal much more engaged inside long term.
I thought that was extremeley exciting. Many thanks for your unusual details. I’ll maintain using this.

Petr Cech connait particulièrement bien ces dangereux récidivistes. Trop bien. D’ailleurs, le Tchèque ne fanfaronne pas à l’idée de les retrouver. Notamment van Persie, qui a apporté un vrai plus à Manchester United. “ll est capable de marquer des buts à chaque match et cela leur offre une autre option offensive. Avec Rooney, cela peut constituer une paire intéressante. D’ailleurs, vous avez sans doute vu qu’ils ont marqué maillot de france foot des buts”, a-t-il confié jeudi. Et Chicharito ? C’est Ferguson qui en parle le mieux : “Le garçon n’arrête pas de progresser. Son ratio buts marqués/matches joués est fantastique.”
Alignés ensemble au coup d’envoi du match de Ligue des Champions, mercredi face au Sporting Braga, les trois hommes ne devraient cependant pas l’être à Stamford Bridge, dimanche. Parce que MU a peiné dans cette configuration, avec Rooney en soutien des deux autres. D’ailleurs, Ferguson a changé sa disposition d’équipe au retour des vestiaires. Mené 2-0 après vingt minutes de jeu par les Portugais, le vice-champion d’Angleterre s’est finalement s’imposé (3-2). Et même si Chicharito, auteur d’un doublé, a été l’homme du match, on a du mal à imaginer qu’il démarre aux côtés de Rooney et van Persie dans un système aussi audacieux. Selon toute vraisemblance, le Mexicain attendra sagement maillot equipe france 2012 son heure, assis pas très loin d’Alex Ferguson qui espérera juste avoir fait le bon choix. Dans le cas contraire, il pourra toujours rectifier le tir avec son autre arme létale. L’embarras du choix, on vous dit.
