How do I I love the Bigz Pillow Die? Let me count three ways! At 3 3/4" x 2" assembled, the pillow box earns its keep as a charming party favor. However, let's step outside the box today (pun intended).
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?
