A Purse for Momo's Challenge

Momo has a challenge twice a month, and this month is anything except a card!

So I created this cute little purse!

You can see here what I used to create this in addition to a 12"x12" piece of patterned paper and the Cricut Tabs, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge.

Here you can see the difference between cutting the same image/design on a 12"x12" vs a 12"x24" piece of card stock.

The small purse will accomodate three 3"x3" cards and the larger one will acommodate 3 A2 size cards.

You can get away with a little bit larger purse either size if you use your Gypsy vs just using the fit to page feature.

Purse with Cards

I created another purse with cards.  This time I used the beautiful Mariposa stack from DCWV.

I used one sheet of Cricut 12x24" card stock for the purse cut using Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cart and from the leftover (plenty) I cut some butterflies with MS classic butterfly punch.  With one sheet of 12x12" from the Mariposa stack I was able to decorate the purse and the outside of one card that will go inside the purse and the small card that will be given to the recepient of the purse.

I did not take a picture, but with another sheet of Mariposa I made two more cards to go inside the purse.

I need  to create 4-5 more of this purse gift sets for the special people or co-workers at the two high school were I am a librarian/teacher before Thursday (last day of school for teachers).

(I better remember to buy the velcro dots to use so the purse can close)

Thanks for looking!

Purse - Paper Dolls Dress Up

As I was trying to create something to enter Emma's Thursday Throwback Challenge I decided to make a purse to give to my niece who is getting married on July 11th.  I will give it to her before the wedding as a "just because" gift with thank you cards in it so that she can give the cards to others after the wedding.

Her wedding colors will be Black-White-Tiffany Blue

I cut the purse with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More on a 12x24 piece of black Cricut black card stock to get it at is largest possible.

I cut the bride from Paper Dolls Dress Up at 4"

I cut the head and the hair twice

I colored the bouquet with Copic markers and glued it to the veil so that when the purse opens, the bouquet stays with the veil (or with the illusion that the bride's hands are in the front).

Used Peachy Keen stamps

Pink Chalk - cheeks

White Signo Pen - eyes
