This sweet purse idea originated in the bright imagination of Carolina Buchting (Carolina's Creative Pad). The key to transitioning this box to a purse was the use of a Bigz Top Note Die.
I zipped Basic Gray card stock and Walk in the Park Designer Paper each through the Big Shot with the Top Note. TIP: They were layered, slightly offset from the top to create a pretty detail. Using a Small Oval Punch, a handle was born!
Purse:
Paper: Walk in the Park Designer Series (115123, Occasions Mini), Basic Gray (108692)
Cool Tools: Big Shot Die-Cut Machine (113439), Bigz Pillow Box Die (113466), Bigz Top Note Die (113463), 5 Petal Flower Punch (109041), Small Oval Punch (107304)
The Perfect Touch: Filigree Designer Brads (112577), White Halfback Pearl (109114, Pretties Kit)
This cute candy holder offers a window to a burst of color, courtesy of Mike and Ike Tropical Typhoon candies. TIP: They work deliciously well with the color options of Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper. I found it necessary to eat the green candies since I didn't need any Kiwi Kiss in the project.
TIP: The little tag is the part I popped out of the handle for the purse above :)

I saw the pencil box idea when I was at Stampin' Up! Regionals in Minneapolis in early April. I dressed my version up in bold colors and think the disk looks a tad like a painter's palette. I thought it was a nifty touch for an art supplies gift. TIP: Wouldn't markers be cool this way, too? Or maybe a fun idea for a Back to School project?
