Cricut-Forever Young Treat Purses

I made this treat purses for my grandbaby Jasmine! using Forever Young, Hello Kitty, Dreams Come True Cricut Cartridges and cut the tag with my Pazzles.

and did I mention I also made marshmallow Hello Kittys under the direction on my best friend!
Its all edible!

Her purse had additional tiny flowers, ribbon, a tag and stitches!
This is the back of the purse.
For the boys I made bags.

I used Forever Young to cut the purses using my Gypsy.
(largest size possible using 12x24 Cricut purple cardstock)
I used the "Dreams come true" for the word Jasmine.
I welded it/placed it on top of purse and cut.
And the Hello Kitty Cartridge to cut Hello Kitty's face and flowers.
The little flowers on the b-day girls purse were punched.
The tag and lettering for tag was cut using my Pazzles.
For the b-day girls purse I added stitching (I tried the sewing machine, but was a mess)
with a white Uniball pen,
and I colored the "hardware" with a silver sharpie.
Oh, and added/glued plenty of bling!
The back of the purses.
The "hardware" in silver.

I also decorated a plain bag/gift bag using Hello Kitty and My Community Cartridge for the grass.

A cherry on top cricut contest

First things first, Thank you for the inspiration! I love your maps! and Thanks to "cherry on top" for the wonderful price!
I used K&Company Amy Butler Sola Stack and embellishments, and DCWV Natural Stack for the brown/background/mask and the two purses/journaling/mask-background are Silouhette designs. I used a lot of foam squares to pop-up the background and the journaling purses. A tiny ribbon and bling. (The brown background/mask paper looks a lot better in person, it has a sheen to it!)
The camera did not pick up the true colors or sheen on the brown paper!

Here (below)  you can see it better!
