There is really no stamping on this "purse", but it shows the construction of a something I gave as a gift to several friends and relatives this past Christmas. The purse box is made from one sheet of 8 1/2" x 10" card stock plus two handles 2" x 11" cut from a second sheet. Score the the 8 1/2" x 10" sheet 1 1/4" in from each side along the 10" side. Then score it 90 degrees, along the 8 1/2" sides, 4 1/4" in from each edge. Cut flaps by making 1 1/4" cuts along the short fold lines in to the intersection of the long fold lines. Fold on all fold lines and assemble with a strong adhesive like sticky strip (Monoadhesive won't hold well enough). Then you add the handles and decorate away! Actually, attach the handles before you assemble the purse bag - it's easier that way! Here I used Stampin' Up!'s five petal punch for the flower, and the rounded tab punch to make the handle reinforcers. This bag is made from Ruby Red and a retired background paper from Stampin' Up!
I filled my bags with coordinating Monogram notecards and envelopes like this one shown below. This card is from a different set, but you get the idea. Using patterned paper, a large alphabet, and a few embellishments makes the cards quick and easy. The card shown below uses the Designer Series papers in Rose Red, the retired Letterpress alphabet, Fire Rhinestone brads, and Twill tape. The base card is Purely Pomegrant stamped with the Linen background stamp.
Happy Stamping!
