Shoe Week: An Elegant Affair

Wouldn't you want a pair of these shoes with the matching purse? Look what can be done with the Swirls Scribbles die using the Big Shot. It was simple to create this dramatic project.

THE SHOE:
The shoe was made from combining a couple shoe templates: taking the slimmer heel shape from one, the pointed toe front from another and curves shaping the back to come up with this final shoe. By adding Real Red contrast color CS along with red adhesive gemstones, the project comes to life.

Here's a close-up of the front toe area where the Swirl Scribbles are slightly "twisted" for the 3-D effect.

The back: this is the best part. The swirls wrap up the back of the heel and also to the side of the shoe:

Another view of the back:

Tip for assembling the back: Because the shape of the back is curved, snip as shown in the photo below so this piece can confirm to the shaped back.

THE PURSE:
The purse size is 8-1/2 high x 6-3/4" x 1-1/2". This will hold 3-4 note cards with envelopes. Swirls and Scribbles embellish both the handle and the front along with red adhesive gemstones.

The handles: 11-1/2" x 1-1/2" finished.

Here's the purse before it is assembled. Add the embellishments before assembling the purse. I added the contrast Real Red Card stock for the handle afterwards (photo does not show the contrast color).

The original purse template was not the same proportion as the shoe. It needed to be increased about 28% - this original template can be found from Mel Stampz web site (see the side bar for her link). In fact, Mel has a huge library variety of purses.

Note: photo below shows top of purse opening 5-1/2" long. This narrow piece is to show the measurement and is NOT part of the purse template. To create the curve, the center is 1/2" deep (not marked in photo).

Supplies:

• Stamps: none
• CS: Real Red, Black
• Ink: none
• Accys: Big Shot Swirls and Scribbles Die, Sticky Tape, Red Gemstones (Hero Arts).
