Pretty Little Purses!

I had intended to post this in April, but completely forgot! So now instead of a special early bird deal, we will just call this a sneak peek!



These cute little purses were created with a Big Shot die that will be available in the new catalog that will come out in June! I often wait before purchasing a new die because I like to see how many different ways they can be used before I buy one, but this time, I made an exception!  The purse on the right also has a sneak peek at some new DSP!  I made these cute little things as a thank you gift for my club ladies.  I also put some samples of bakers twine inside them!  I was really surprised by the actual space inside these.  They held quite a bit of twine and I also put candy in some of them as a gift for two special little girls.

It was amazing how easy these went together! The die cuts and scores, so all I had to do was add a little sticky strip, some DSP and a few brads! How easy is that?!

I may not have a Scrapbook Monday this week.  I am wrapping up my school year and there is always so many last minute things that need to be finished.  Add to that two busy girls and a DH with a crazy work schedule and there's not a lot of free time right now.  My poor supplies are feeling quite neglected right now!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and may you find some time to be crafty!  Oh, and happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you! Tee! Hee!

Project Recipe: cardstock-so saffron, daffodil delight, Summer Smooches DSP(sneak peek), Delicate Dots (ret.), Accessories-summer smooches fabric brads (no longer available and I am completely bummed!!), antique brads, petite purse die, big shot
