Crafty Friends Blog Hop Featuring Concord & 9th

Welcome to the June Blog Hop for the Crafty Friends!

Who are the Crafty Friends? We're a group of talented stampers who all share a similar crafty beginning.

Each month we focus on a brand or company that we love and this month we are proud to feature Concord & 9th for the second time!

Of course if we are featuring Concord & 9th, I am going to use my own product. The Everyday Purse Bundle is a set that I collaborated on with Concord & 9th and it was released at Creativation in January.

The Everyday Purse Bundle

For today's project, I made the purse into a tea bag holder. Get it? A TEA BAG? *Ü*

Cardstock is 3-1/2" x 2-1/2". Score every 1/4", you should have 9 score lines. You will need to trim each long side a little to fit in the gusset of the purse.

I added Score Tape to the back of each tea bag and adhered them to the 'hinges'.

I also want to share my new favorite glue with you from Bearly Art. I love this glue!!!

For the card I used the new Simply Said bundle. I really, really like the fonts used in these sentiments!

The flowers are from the new Wildflower Fields Stamp Set.

I used a couple of the single flowers for the front of the purse. The stripe is from the background stamp called Brushed Stripes.

Crafty Friends Blog Hop Featuring Trinity Stamps

It's time for another Crafty Friends Blog Hop. This month we are featuring products from Trinity Stamps.

Be sure to scroll down for the blog hop list where you will find lots of stamping inspiration and for the Trinity Stamps exclusive shopping code for Crafty Friends readers.

Remember, Crafty Friends brand of the month offers 20% off on the 20th of the month!

I'm featuring the stamp set called A Crafters Heart, it is perfect set for our crafty friends!!

I stamped and colored two of the hearts with Copic markers. I cut some of the darling images out by hand and placed them on the card.

The LOVE is the Trinity Stamps Bold Love die set. This is a fun one because it cuts out the letter and an outline for each letter.

A Crafter's Heart

The Nested Hearts 4 piece die set cuts this heart perfectly. I made a box that is adhered behind the heart to use as a caddy for tools or a small plant.

Measurements for the box are:

Cut the cardstock to 10-1/2" x 4-3/4"

Score on the short side, for the bottom of the box, at 2-1/2"

Score the long side at 2-1/2", 5", 7-1/2" and 10"

On behalf of crafty friends, I would like to thank Trinity Stamps for offering our readers a 20% off buying coupon. Please support our crafty small businesses!
