Hi there! Greetings on this beautiful Friday! As you're reading this, I'm in Phoenix at Creativation! Woot! Hop over to my Instagram Stories to see what's going on at the show! Friday is for meetings and classes, but I'll be on the show floor all day Saturday and Sunday. Thanks for popping by to visit my blog today. As you know from last week, I'm one of the guest designers for Concord & 9th for the month of January! Yeah! I love guest designing for them!! The products this month are awesome (per usual!) and I'm having a good time making things to share with you. Today is a real treat!
The products we're featuring today are the Purse Builder Dies and the Everyday Purse Stamp Set. OMG – create perfect little paper purses for gift cards or treats. I love it, and I love creating this to show you. I made a designer bag with greys and black and lots of classic elements…And I made it as a birthday purse, complete with a Starbucks card inside. There are so many ways to customize your purse! Tags, and tassels and so much more.
Here's the little purse in my hand to show you the scale and size. EEEK. Like, I realllly love this. I added a tag and a tassel and a little flower from my stash. Shades of grey paper and I'll tell you how I achieved that faux croc texture with a stamp!
Here's a close up! The straps are from grey woodgrain paper. I think it sort of ended up looking like leather!! To make the purse you die cut two sides and glue them together on the taps. REALLY simple. There are dies for the straps and the rings, everything. Very intuitive to assemble.
The purse stamp set has sayings that fit onto the tag perfectly. Concord & 9th always thinks of everything!! Okay, so here's my tip on the texture… It's a pineapple stamp!! LOL!! I got out all my C9 stamp sets and looked at them with fresh eyes… What could be a cool texture on this purse?…. See below.
It's the Pop Art Pineapple stamp set!! I used black ink on dark gray paper to create this look. 
And here's the gift card I put inside! It's perfect for a January birthday!
Thanks again for joining me during my Concord & 9th Guest Designer gig! I'll be back two more times, the next two Fridays, with more C9 projects! Have a fantastic weekend everyone! XOXO

I can’t think of a more appropriate word than DARLING… I checked already and it has sold out!! I love the color and what a perfect package for that adorable gift card. I am with you in spirit at Creativation and I’m sure the weather will be of no concern in Phoenix. Have fun my friend and come back with loads of new product information…
Absolutely sweet as can be! I love it!
Hi Wanda, I visit and read your blog often and I am always so inspired by your words and your projects. Not sure why I rarely comment, but This post required a comment. This is so stinking cute. Can I order one of those designs full size??? 😂 Every time I see this purse put together it gets cuter and cuter; the color combos, the cute tassel and all the extra accessories. I received this die in the mail Thursday and I must put it together this weekend.
Yikes, Wanda, this is so darn adorable! You did a great job! I just got this die set and am itching to use it! (I have finally learned to set my wake-up alarm to not miss out on C & 9 release morning!) I knew this one would sell out!
Well this is the cutest! I really enjoyed your pics from yesterday Wanda! I have been to Phoenix on business but never explored the area. So good for you! Enjoy the show and I look forward to seeing your “reports”!
Wanda I wasn’t sure I needed the purse until I got here! Love all your attention to detail making this seem like a fun fun gift to put together! No kidding on the leather like straps and the tassel, oh my! I have been enjoying your posts for C9 this month! 😊
