Hello Creative Friends,

Today I’m sharing some little purses I made with the Box #2 Bigz XL Die for the Big Shot (Die Cutting Machine).   

These were a lot of fun and pretty easy.  The Box #2 has a little flap on it that you normally tuck inside but I just added about a 3/4 strip of card stock along that where the crease line is adhering the strip to the topside so I could use it as an overhang flap.   

I embellished the flap with deisnger brads! and a couple of the tags from the Matchbox Bigz XL Die for the Big Shot.  Other than that I just paper-pierced some stitching around the edges and went along them with an ink marker and added a card stock strip for a handle with brads.

To give a finished look, I added a piece of cardstock to the bottom of the purse with brads on the corners.  On the inside flap and back inside of the purse, I used some scrapbooking paper to act as a purse “liner” and also to cover where I added the extra piece to the flap and the peircing holes.  You can’t really see the side and front piercing holes inside when you open the purse so I didn’t worry about covering those, although you could line the whole inside if you wanted.  

If you make any of these, I’d love to see them.  Don’t you love how such a simple box can have so many possibilities?

Have a creative day,
