3X3 Diva Purse


This is what you should start with. 7 3/4" X 3 1/2" sheet of paper. Score @ 1/2", 3 5/8", 4 1/8" 7 1/4" and then 1/2" along the long side on the bottom. Punch one 1/2 circle out of one side using 13/8" circle punch.


Then you will use your paper snips and just snip where i did. This will allow you to fold the box up neatly.


It works best to embellish as you wish at this point. I chose to just do the front and get my holes punched for the handles of my purse. I used choc chip grosgrain ribbon and brads to adhear. For the pink scallop i first punched a hole w/ the 1 3/8" circle punch in melon mambo then took the scallop cirlce punch and went right over top of my last punch. Gives you a neat trim!
you are ready to put together. Lay the inside of the box to face you. then line only the two parts you see in red w/ your sticky strip. I practiced folding it all up b4 i tore the covering off so you know what has to go where! ;) I did the bottom one last. Gives a nice clean finish and everything else is tucked inside.



These are the cute little 3X3's i made to stick inside. All using the stamp set Birthday Bliss and the DSP from the SAB FREE set!Finish it off w/ a cute little tag from Vintage Labels and sponged the edges and popped up on dimensionals.
