Sizzix Mini Carousel Purse Tutorial

I was at Michaels and this little purse came to my mind after looking at the cute little party Favors by K&Company. They had cute little butterflies on them or flowers or circus animals etc, but I was thinking "Sizzix". What can I do with Sizzix...?

First you take a regular A2 Envelope. Seal it. A2 is the medium size envelopes sold in the Stampin' Up Catalog.

Score 3/4" around 3 sides. Be sure to fold back and forth so that the score lines will fold easily.

Cut off the top portion of the envelope so that it measures approx 2 1/2" from the bottom fold. (the bottom fold is to the left)

Attach the little bottom triangles with Glue Dots

THIS is the LARGE Scallop Circle (the largest one)

Cut off 8 scallops straight across. Be sure to repeat that on both scallop circles

Punch holes using the Crop a dile, and be sure that they are within the envelope box. I laid the envelope "box" down on the die and traced around with a pencil (see below -2 photos down)

Place Jumbo Eyelets in the holes and set, using Crop a Dile. I then used ribbon and sticky tape to attach the ribbon to the inside of the die (Stamp the die before setting eyelets (oops, I forgot to take a photo of that!)

Stamped with the vines from Fresh Cuts

Here you can see my pencil lines, and I put sticky tape inside those pencil lines. The lines help in lining up the envelope "box" to the die cuts.

Attach and embellish with flower and swirl dies!

I added a little teeny glitter to the inside of the flower by placing a glue dot on the top and then fine glitter!

Voila! cute simple and uses lots of dies!

Have fun making your mini purse!!!
