I had to make a new purse for this tutorial, since I didn't take pictures of the put-together for the last one. The LSC (Limited Supplies Challenge) was also to use scraps, so YAY, I made another card set. Here is what I came up with.
I used up scraps from my Baroque DP, and all the punched and stamped pieces were from scraps (Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, River Rock). For the box, and the actual cards themselves, I had to cut pieces.
I used the SAB set, Lots Of Thoughts, to make this set up. I inked each one with olive and chocolate, stamped them on river. I punched them with the 1 3/8 square and then rubbed the edges on the chocolate chip pad. I matted it on olive that had been punched with the ticket corner. This was then put on chocolate that was punched with the giga scalloped square. I then added some of the 3D fabric paint to the corners.
For the bases, I used pieces of river rock that measured 5.5 X 4.25 and then folded them in half. My card size is 2.75 X 4.25, and I added a 2 X 4.25 piece of DP on the bottom. I used my mat pack to pierce a line across the top of each and then added my punched layers. Took about 45 mins to do all these cards.
Now for the mini purse, But I made a box instead, using the same template (That's HERE). Here is how you put it together.
Here is the template all scored and cut. I have my sticky strip on 4 of the six flaps, two in the middle and two on the right side.
You need to peel the middle ones first. Now the first flap that you stick on MUST HAVE the sticky strip on it, otherwise you have nothing to stick the next flap to. Do this on both sides.
Now, you peel the side one, and fold the other flap over to stick on it. That was easy and you are done! It is up to you, now, how you want to embellish it. I just used some of the chocolate satin ribbon to wrap around the whole top, and then added a bow, like Nichole showed on her blog (scroll down to the bottom). I also have the template for the larger version of this HERE, and you put it together the same way. This one fits the full sized cards. Have fun and happy stamping!!
Awesome card set and tutorial! Love how the cards look. Thanks for sharing!

I use this size card all the time. It's a little large and perfect for a gift or just a short note to go in a package I'm sending out. Thanks for the template - now I can make them for gift sets and I use up so much of my small scraps I have left over. I have a small pile waiting to be used. :)
