Another Purse

I love making purses out of paper. I don't even love them this much in real life but there is something adorable about them when they are made of paper. This is one I made at the Sea to Sky Stampers group that I am a part of. At our meetings we always get to make something super cute to take home and this was what we did this time.

This purse is made with the Big Shot and some coordinating papers. I made mine with the Pacific Point and the Good Morning Sunshine designer paper but had some problems getting the birds going the right way. Next time I'm going to choose something without a direction, like just about any other paper :) On the back I got the birds going the right way and I had intended to make that the front, but then I forgot. I love the motto that you can't make mistakes in crafting you only leave room for embellishment, but I'm having a hard time framing the sideways birds as a sort of embellishment...

As for size it is a little on the smaller side, so you wouldn't want to swap out your regular purse for it :) But it would be perfect for a gift card or a small gift for a birthday or mother's day. Also if you book a workshop with me you may see one of these show up as a hostess gift, you never know.
