This Card Holder Purse makes a perfect gift when you fill
it with your stamped cards. This purse was originally designed by
Julie for SCS. I had such fun making it! I used
Delicate Dots DSP. Delicate
Dots is only available until the end of March in case you still want to get
some.
Here is what you need to make the purse:
Front and Back Pieces - 2 pieces - 5 x 8 1/2 - Scored at 2 1/4
on the 8 1/2 inch side (picture below)
Handles - 2 pieces - 3/4 x 11
Purse Flap to close it - 1 piece - 1 1/2 x 6 - Scored at 1 and
3 1/4
Card and Envelope Pockets - 2 pieces - 4 1/2 x 7 1/2 - Scored
at 1/2 and 1 1/2 on one long side and the 2 short sides - Cut out the bottom
squares (picture below)
Red Sticky Tape
Word Window Punch
Corner Rounder
Brads
Decoration - 2 pieces of DSP - 6 x 4 3/4 for covering front and back
Inside Decoration - 4 1/4 x 2 3/4 DSP
Decorations as desired - I cut out the bird on this one and then covered
it with Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds. I cut out one of the large
pink flowers from Delicate Dots and put a clear Rhinestone Brad in the
center.
After you have scored your pieces, you can start
assembling your purse. With the Word Window Punch punch at the top of one of
5 x 8 1/2 pieces, this will be your front. The flap will go thru this to
close the purse. Add your DSP pieces to the front and back of the purse.
(Make sure that the tape does not prevent the flap from going into the back
of the front piece.)
Take your 1 1/2 x 6 piece and round the corners on one
end (this goes to the front thru the word window hole. Use the Red Sticky Tape and attach
the square end to the back of the purse.
To form the pockets for the cards, fold on the score
lines. Place Red Sticky Tape on back of the 3 sides. Attach to the inside of
the purse as shown in picture.
Using Red Sticky Tape place it on your bottom pieces to
form purse. Carefully line up your pieces and attach them together.
Use a small piece of Red Sticky Tape to hold the purse
straps in place. Reinforce with 2 brads in each strap.

Make your cards and fill your purse.
The stamp sets I used for the cards were Cheep Talk, Good
Friend and A Little Birdie Told Me. All of the cards were made using
Delicate Dots DSP also.
I hope you have enjoyed this month's project!
