G45 Couture purse box with cards - Purse Box tutorial

                                                                     Hi everyone :-)

Made this purse out of chipboard to store some cards I made. Love this Couture  paper collection from Graphic 45 and had so much fun creating this purse and  6 x 4 cards with envelopes.

Flower on the front is made from the cardstock cutouts and the flower stamen is from a Nellie Snellen punch with a pearl in the center.

Metal closure for the box inside.

Cards stores on one side and envelopes on the other side of the box.

Inside without the cards.

Purse, 7 cards and 7 envelopes.

2 blue cards

With matching envelopes. 

Spellbinders die for the label.

Inside the cards I used stamp set number 3.

2 Green cards with Cottage cuts window and gate die.

Flower from the cardstock cut outs together with an EK success flower punch. Stamped ower with stamp set 3 border.

Inside the green cards with the same stamp set.

2 Red cards. Saved the frames when I fussy cut and used them here on the cards.

Inside the 3 red cards

One more red card. Had to use this beautiful lady on one of the cards :-)

With matching envelope.

Measurements for the purse box
Cut out 2 of this in chipboard

I used one smaller side for the envelopes and a larger for the cards.
For the smaller side I cut out the sides at 1 x 6 1/4 and 1 x 4 1/8 but you can make both the sides the same if you like:-)

Glued together with 1 inch black cardstock hinges. Scored at 1/2 and glued on inside and outside to make it study. Used a strip of Tyvek envelope to bind them together. Xyron sticker maker is great to use for glue the  Tyvek envelope hinge on.Went over with a black marker to hide the white.

Then glue it on the purse all the way down.
