Top Note Purse Tutorial

Hello Stampers,

Today I'm sharing a photo tutorial on these cute Top Note Purses- I made these as a special thankyou for my Stamp Club members:) Hope you enjoy:)



First, start with your choice of colored card stock (I used Real Red 102482) & cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Place on the Sizzix Top Note die (113463) and roll through on your Big Shot (113439)!



Next, score the top note at 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 with the BLACK scoring blade on your Paper Cutter (104152). Crease with Bone Folder (102300).




Next cut a strip of Designer Series Paper (I used Merry Moments 115672) to approx 1 1/2 by 4 and run through the Big Shot on the Top Note die- your strip should lay over the highest portion of the top note. Cut along the perforated edge with Paper Snips scissors (103579), stamp with your choice of image (I used the 'Merry Christmas' from All Holidays stamp set 114916 and inked with Basic Black 101179). Adhere with your choice of SNAIL (104332)or Anywhere Gluestick (104045).

Using your Crop-a-Dile (108362), punch a small hole approx 1/2 inch inside each end of the top 1/4 inch margin- these holes will hold the handle for your purse. Use your choice of ribbon (I used Rope Twine 113017 in clearance rack while supplies last!) and cut approx 6 inches. Feed each end of ribbon through the top of the top note purse and tie knots in each end- trim edges with Paper Snips.



Now it's time to fill your purse! Fill a Small Flat Cello Bag (103104) with your choice of holiday candy, roll the top down and staple in center. Afix this to the top note 1/4 inch scored margin with Sticky Strip (104294)- bag should sit between ribbon knots.



Place a small strip of Sticky Strip behind the cello bag to help stabilize- also place a small strip behind purse top to keep the flap down. Ta da!

Happy stamping,
