Stampin Up More Amore DSP Valentine Purse

Posted on February 12, 2013 by Beverly

Today I am sharing how to make this beautiful Stampin Up More Amore DSP Valentine Purse! I made this for my granddaughter, and I am sure she will be delighted when she receives it on Valentine’s Day!

SUPPLIES USED TO MAKE THE STAMPIN UP MORE AMORE DSP VALENTINE PURSE

Paper: Stampin Up More Amore DSP (129309), Pool Party Card Stock, Primrose Petals Card Ctock, and Certainly Celery Card Stock

Ink: Primrose Petals Classic Ink

Accessories: Hearts Collection Framelits (125599); Big Shot, Platform, and Cutting Plates; Sticky Strip or Adhesive of your choice; Ribbon of your choice, and Brads of your choice

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING THE STAMPIN UP MORE AMORE DSP VALENTINE PURSE

Using the Big Shot and Hearts Collection Framelit (Scalloped), cut out two Pool Party hearts.
Cut out two hearts from the Stampin Up More Amore DSP with the next to the largest heart framelit

Attach the DSP hearts to the Pool Party hearts and add ribbon around the edges of each.

Cut an 8-1/4″ x 2″ piece of Pool Party Card Stock and score it along the 8-1/4″ side at the 1/4″ and 1-1/2″ marks.
Place one end of the card stock between your thumb and index finger and hold it. Now place the card stock between your opposite thumb and index finger and begin to curl the card stock by repeatedly moving your thumb and finger down the 8-1/4″ length of the card stock. This will make the card stock more pliable and it will curl up into a half-circle.
Cut notches along the 1/4″ and 1-1/2″ scored sides of the card stock.

Use the next to the largest heart framelit and trace around it with a pencil on the back side of both heart pieces. Make sure the heart framelit is placed on both hearts at the same spot.

Attach Sticky Strip to each heart along the pencil tracing.

Remove the red liner from the Sticky Strip and begin attaching one side of the 8-1/4″ notched piece of Pool Party Card Stock to one of the hearts. Assure both ends will line up evenly.

Select a DSP design that you want to be the purse liner and trace the outer rim of the next- to-the-largest-heart framelit onto this DSP twice.
Cut out both hearts and insert one into the purse and press it down to adhere it, as shown in the below picture. At this point you may be thinking, “Wouldn’t it have being easier to add this before the purse side piece was added?” Yes, however, the notched portion of the 8-1/4″ piece of card stock would not be covered up if the heart were added first.

Begin attaching the second heart to the first heart by lining it up with the edge of the other notched side of the heart and begin adhering it..

Just as before, Insert the second DSP heart inside and press it down to adhere it. You now have the bottom of the purse made.

Attach to the purse sides a handle made of the ribbon that was used around the front and back of the purse. Use hot glue to attach.
Select two medium to large brads, remove their prongs, and attach to the ends of the ribbon with hot glue. I used two of Stampin Up epoxy brads from long ago.

Decorate the purse front as desired.

God’s Blessings!

Also, the purse card has a new flower design for you!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING THE STAMPIN UP PURSE CARD DESIGN:

Click HERE for the “Purse Card Template”

If you have difficulty retrieving the template, here’s a picture that you can work from:

CARD BASE

Score the center of an 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of Basic Black Card Stock and fold it.
Place the template over the folded card stock with the fold at the bottom (use a temporary adhesive to prevent the template from moving). Using the Simply Scored Stylus and with pressure, trace the purse from below the handles (at the 5″ mark) to the bottom including the sides.

Stampin Up Purse Card Design

Remove the template and cut along the traced lines.

CARD HANDLES:

Fold a piece of 4″ x 7″ scrap Basic Black Card Stock and place the handle portion of the template over it with the folded part at the top (you’ll cut out two handles and you don’t want them connected). So you have 1/4″ extra on the ends of the handles to adhere to the purse card base, lay the template about 1/4″ above the bottom of the folded card stock.
Using the Simply Scored Stylus and with pressure, trace around the handle of the template.
Cut out the handles following the traced lines.

Purse Handles

Cover one side of the handles with Crystal Effects and let dry.
After drying, cover the other side of the handles with Crystal Effects and let dry.
Attached the handles to the inside of the purse card base with Sticky Strip after completing the following.

CARD EMBELLISHMENTS:

Lay the template onto the Mocha Morning Designer Series Paper (again, this project is organic, so other DSP can be used) and trace the inside lines around the purse card. Cut around the traced lines. Use the cut out for your template to cut a second piece of the Mocha Morning Designer Series Paper. You will have one piece for the front of the purse card and one for the back. Ensure the pieces are about 1/8″ smaller than the purse card base.
Cut 1/4″ off the top of these two pieces.

Purse Front and Back Pieces

Using the Bigz Clear Large Scallop Square Die, cut out two Cherry Cobbler large scallops.
Insert each scallop into the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder and run through the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.
OPTIONAL: Swipe one scallop with the embossing buddy and, with a VersaMarker Watermarker Pen, carefully apply VersaMark on the raised portions of the scallop. Apply Black Embossing Powder and set with a heat gun. It’s best to do a small section of the raised portions at a time. (This isn’t an easy task and it’s difficult to not get specks of powder where you don’t want it.)

Card Embellishment

Lay the Mocha Morning Designer Series Paper purse front over back side of the embossed scallop, line it up just below the center of the top embossed flower, and draw a line with a pencil across the scallop. Trace with the pencil about 1″ down the two sides of the purse front. Cut along these penciled lines. Repeat for the purse back.

Purse Embellishmen t Purse Embellishment

Trace the purse back DSP piece onto Very Vanilla Card Stock, trace around the piece, and cut it out.

Stampin Up Purse Card Design

Cover with Cherry Cobbler ink the sentiment “Happy Birthday” from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set onto a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock.
Use the appropriate Bitty Banners Framelit to cut out the sentiment. Sit to the side.

CARD FLOWER:

CARD ASSEMBLY:

FRONT AND BACK DSP PIECES: Adhere with Sticky Strip the DSP front piece to the front of the card base, placing it 1/4″ down from top card base showing. Repeat for the back side of the card base.

Stampin Up Purse Card Design

HANDLES: Draw a light pencil line on the left inside of the card base, 1/2″ from the top. Place sticky strip on the card base from the top down to the 1/2″ pencil line, ensuring that the tape is no wider than the bottom of the handle ends. Remove the red liner and adhere the handle to the card base. Erase the pencil line. Repeat this to adhere the other handle to the right inside of the card base.

This picture shows how it should look:
INSIDE CARD: Adhere the Very Vanilla Card Stock inside the card on the right side, placing it over the handle.

At this point the card will look like this:

OUTSIDE CARD EMBELLISHMENTS:
Punch a hole at the top of the “happy birthday” sentiment.
Thread a piece of Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine throw the hole.
Wrap the twine around the prongs of the antique brad that was used for the tulle ribbon flower.
Punch a hole 1-1/2″ down from the top center of the Cherry Cobbler Black Embossed Large Scallop piece.

Stampin Up Purse Card Design

Insert the brad that is holding the tulle ribbon flower and baker’s twine into the hole and spread the prongs.

Stampin Up Purse Card Design
