JAI 11



Closed Purse



Open Purse


What a challenge this weeks is. I had to actually use my brain for a change LOL.

I have spent far TOO MUCH time on this challenge, BUT I do love the outcome.

I have cased it from SPLTCOAST STAMPERS GREAT idea!


I have HAND embosed a piece of card to get alligator skin effect. (Took night after night in front of the TV to complete). I have stitched around the edge of the whole pures & also around the floral strip & corners as well as the leather look strip on inside of purse with the closing stud; BY HAND! I had to painstakingly put 1mm spaced wholes every where 1st before stitching it.

Hope you like my effort at a Faux Purse.


Card Stock: Close to cocoa, designer paper.

Cotton Thread: DMC 3862

Ink: Versa Mark with Clear Embossing Powder(LOTS TOO)

Embelishments: Hodge podge Hardware brad & frame, a mirror.

  3. OMG what else can i say. This is absolutely amazing. Well done. How on earth did you hand emboss the leather bit? This looks fantastic. I have eyed off making one for ages but thought way too hard. :) TFS

  4. HOW I EMBOSSED: I have a Fiska embossing board, with a line of 20 tiny squares on the embossing template. So I used my embossing tool & pain stakingly embossed rows & rows & rows.... of squares. Took forever, but worth every minute. (Bring on a CuttleBug!)

  7. So awesome, Naomi. I thought you had used that leather look paper, but no, you did it all by hand. This is so ..... clever. I just recently watched a You Tube Tutorial on how to do this to refresh my memory and had it in my wish list of things to do. Your wallet is such an inspiration.
