Yesterday was my
cousin’s fiancée Steph’s bridal shower. First it was held at an amazing tapas
restaurant in Brookline, MA called Barcelona Wine Bar. If you are ever in that
area check it out. I was hired by my aunt (mother of the groom) and cousin
(sister of the groom) to make favors for the occasion. They liked a mini purse
that could hold some candy. The bride’s favorite color is pink and navy is the
wedding color.
That led me to dig out
my retired Petal Purse die, but I mixed it up with some new items – the lovely
Petal Pink cardstock & ribbon, Rose glimmer paper, and Dynamic Tufted
embossing folder. I absolutely love how they turned out and so did everyone at
the shower. The purses are pretty small they held three dark chocolate Lindt truffles. Here is a photo with them all assembled at the event (sorry it is not the greatest photo).
I also made Steph some
thank you cards using the lovely Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (on sale Buy 3, Get 1 Free until Tuesday) and
again used the Petal Pink cardstock and ribbon. They came together quickly and
now she’ll have a supply for when she needs them. A huge thank you to my friend James who saved the day on Friday when I ran out of ribbon and needed to purchase his supply.

I hope your weekend is
going well. It was fun to catch up with family yesterday and now today we are
checking out the 32nd Lowell Folk Festival right down the
street from our home. I’m excited to hear some amazing music, eat lots of yummy
food, and see local area friends.
Let me know if you
have any questions about today’s post.
I’ll be back on Tuesday with another project to share.
Happy Stampin’,
Christine
