Purse Card

Here is one of my favourite cards to make. It is really easy and really cute too. I found it on splitcoast here and modified it slightly. It uses the set Eastern Blooms but could use any solid image stamp. The first picture is of all the supplies that you will need to make this card. If you'll notice there really aren't that many!

To start this card you use the Pretty in Pink cs and fold it like a regular card, then I took 1/4" off the top and cut the sides on an angle to make the base. From there you just stamp in PIP ink with the big flower all over. I added some faux stitching with my white gel pen to the sides. The base is now done, how easy was that?

The handle is Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon that is fed through the top and taped to the back. I tried knots but then the card was too bulky and wouldn't close nicely. The flower is stamped in Chocolate Chip and then cut out, I popped it up on a dimension too. To close the card I used a bit of sticky velcro, so it really is a closing purse.

For a bit of extra bling I used shimmery white paper for the top and put some crystal effects in the center of the brown flower.

Here is another example of the same card but I used bleach instead of PIP ink. Also my faux stitching here is done with the help of my mat pack. I added a greeting to this card to with the hostess set, Sweet Little Sentiments. Does it really get any cuter than this card?
