For the hop I used the new and fantastic Thankful Accents set! I ADORE this set and I know you will too! My pal, Jodi, has an awesome tutorial for these card purses on Splitcoast and I couldn't wait to try it out! My card purse holds four cards and four envelopes...
Here is a close up of the purse! These purses are a BREEZE to make and so fun! All of the cardstock and dp used on this project are from Papertrey. I have listed all of the colors in the recipe at the bottom of this post.
You can see here that I made four cards, all the same but with different sentiments from Thankful Accents and different colors! I rarely make something that I LOVE, but I {heart} this so much!
And finally here is one of the cards close up. I used a Sizzix Texture Plate (Stampin' Up!) for the white panel. I just love the way the swirls from the texture plate mimic the swirls on the wreath. I also love the bit of sparkle from the adhesive gems around the wreath. I hope I've inspired you!!
Your next stop on this hop is the awesome and oh, so hiliarious, Susan!!
Thanks for stopping by!! It is so appreciated!
