Purse (card holder) with Matching Cards







My project consists of a purse that serves as a card holder and two matching cards.  I made 4 of these for my co-workers at Christmas time, and filled them with cards I had made.  It was a hit!!  I need to give credit to Tami White for the purse project.  It has been so fun for me to make these over and over with different DSP and endless color combinations.
Items used for my project:
-PAPER:  'Everyday Enchantment' DSP          
                 'Pool Party' cardstock
                 'Lucky Limeade' cardstock
                 'Very Vanilla' cardstock
-INK:  poppy parade, soft suede, lucky limeade
-PUNCHES:  Decorative label punch, 1" square punch, pinking hearts border punch
-STAMP SET: Elementary Elegance
-ACCESSORIES:  'Everyday Enchantment' Ribbon and Brad Pack, pleated satin ribbon  (poppy
                                parade), pearls basic jewels

~Dresser Cards~

I had a lot of fun making these "dresser" cards.  I saw a picture from 'Michelle's Craft Classes'  blog who lives in Australia; but she didn't have dimensions for the large dresser with the 'stained glass'; so I spent quite a while figuring out the dimensions.  The center sidestep dresser card was inspired by Jackie Topa.  I made this card for a friend of mine whose birthday is coming up.

If anyone would want to recreate the 'stained glass' dresser, here are the dimensions I came up with:

Dresser Card


• 8 ½ x 5 ½ card base; scored at 4 ¼

• 4 x 4 ½ big panel

• 3 7/8 x 1 1/8 - 2 bottom drawers

• 7 ¾ x 1 ½ top drawer; scored at 2” and 5 7/8”. I used the 1 ¼ square punch to punch out ‘windows’

• 3 ¾ x 1 3/8 for inside insert on top drawer

   1 ½ x 1 ¾ vellum textured window

Happy Stampin'!!
