Here is my mini purse using one of my favorite DSP paper called:
Mocha Morning Specialty

This mini purse was designed to hold 3x3 cards with envelopes as a gift for someone special, but also can be used for putting any little special gift inside.

Here is a picture of the backside of the purse which has 3 mini neutral brads

The little purse was created using the Bigz Die Top Note.

I cut out 2 of them for the front and back

The top was done by cutting out 1 Bigz Die Scallop Circle and scored to cover the front and back. I also used 2 eyelets and pulled through Chocolate Chip satin ribbon for the handles. Several neutral brads were used on the front for decoration.

I used the Decorative Label Punch to cover up the brads that were showing from the inside and at the same time it gave it a decorative look.

For the flower, I used the Birds and Bloom Sizzlits (now retired) and added a basic pearl for the center

Here are the matching cards I created to go inside the little mini purse.

The cards measure 3x3

Here is a picture with all of the cards tucked inside the mini purse

Hope you Enjoy!! More Mocha Morning Speciality to come.....
