Little Purse Cards

I got a birthday invitation in the mail for my little niece's 3rd birthday.  It was soooo cute, a purse!

Of course my first thought was- WOW- this will make a great template!  Then my next thought was- oh my, what will I get my niece?  She is three, so I had to rely on my friends with girls…and it was settled – a Tinkerbelle purse with cute girly things to put in it!  Perfect- purse invitation, purse gift, an I had to make a purse birthday card to go with it.

 

It is such a cute and E*A*S*Y template!  Makes me want to go to Party City and check out all the potential templates, I mean invitations.

Here is the original invitation.

So cute!  I made 3 purses, one for my niece and two for fun.

Just think of all those decorative papers calling out to you- “Please make me into that cute purse!”  Not to mention all the embellishments that are begging you to adhere them- “I will be the envy of all the other brads, eyelets, buttons and ribbons. Pick Me! Pick Me!”

 

Here is what I used for the cards:

Dark Pink Flower Card:

Velcro circles to close the purse flap

Decorative Paper

Ribbon flower brad

Ribbon

Gemstones inside the flowers

Stripped Card:

Velcro circles to close the purse flap

Decorative Paper

Ribbon

Buttons

Light Pink Flower Card:

Velcro circles to close the purse flap

Decorative Paper

Ribbon

Buttons

Flower Brad

 

Hope you enjoy making the cards as much as I did!
