Today I want to introduce you to an awesome purse die from Our Daily Bread Designs. It’s called Timeless Totes and is so much fun to create with! I felt just like a purse designer, and I just couldn’t stop at one. Instead, I created two entire lines: The Essentials Collection, and The Spring Collection:
THE ESSENTIALS COLLECTION
THE SPRING COLLECTION
One thing I love about this die set is that it’s so versatile! You can add the tassel in various colors, you can add the pocket, you can add the buckle…there is so much you can do to change up these purses.
For example, take a look at this spring collection: on the blue purse I added the pocket and a buckle, the yellow purse I simply added a small flower on the pocket, and the purple purse I added the tassel to the pocket that was embossed for interest. Also, look at the beautiful papers that you can change up to make any feeling you want! (You can bet I’ve got more collections coming)!
Here’s a closer look at the spring collection, it’s a casual, happy collection with sweet spring colors:
I added the cream color on the handles of this purse for more interest. And that sweet little flower is from this set.
Take a look at those side pockets! These are so awesome because when you attach them, they create that soft curve…perfect for holding a cell phone, right?! Lol.
The purple tassel is one of my favorites…matches those pretty handles!! Do you need a purple purse in your life?
And for the Essentials Collection, I had some fun with embossing on the body of the purses.
Look at those KEYS!!! I used this die here and heat embossed them several times with silver embossing powder. I just love them hanging off the purse! I wouldn’t have to dig through my purse to find my keys if they hang so nicely on the side like this! Lol. I used another die here to emboss those circles around the face of the purse, and I added a black “leather like” band around the bottom of the purse.
Notice the stitches around the edges of this purse…I simply used a black pen! So easy. And here I used gold foil paper for the buckle and around the top of the tassel. I just ADORE those finishing touches. I embossed the double stitched square dies in the center of the purse. Doesn’t that just add some class?!
This embossed purse might be my favorite! I used pearl paper so in real life this purse just glows with pearlescent beauty! I used this die here to create the diamonds in the purse, and added black paper on the sides for a dramatic look! It’s so fancy! Oh, and see the gold plate near the top of the purse…that’s part of the buckle that I cut with gold foil paper; just imagine that’s where the designer label is etched.
This taupe purse rounds out the Essentials collection. Here I used white for the tassel and the buckle to match the fun polka dots on the pocket. And that pocket really opens! It’s held closed by a small piece of velcro.
So which purse would you need to add to your purse collection? I just realized that I would need a basic black purse too, and probably a red purse, and a turquoise purse….Lol. I have a few more to create, don’t I?
I hope you enjoyed these collections today! Do check out these dies at Our Daily Bread Designs, I think that they are so much fun to create with.
I LOVE these, Kari! They’re so super cute!!!
