Paper Purse Card with SU Paisley Petals

Welcome, my friends! Yesterday I free-handed a Paper Purse Card with SU Paisley Petals DSP. I designed this paper purse card for a challenge to create a card in a shape other than the normal rectangle or square.

Using my personally-designed template, I created the paper purse card base and handles with Marina Mist card stock. I used Stampin’ Up!’s lovely retired Paisley Petals DSP on the front and back of the card base. I made the top flap on the paper purse card with the same DSP using an Impression Obsession 6 in 1 frames die. The die is one die that cuts out 6 different frames and they nest together perfectly. I used the 6 frames cut from the two DSP designs, and alternated them on the flap. I attached that onto a piece of Old Olive card stock. I attached the flap to the card base with foam tape. I created a Tangerine Tango rose with a Swarovski Crystal in the center and attached it to the purse flap.

Using an ODBD oval die, I cut out two ovals to which I added the sentiment and two Swarovski Crystals. The paper purse card folds like a regular card and there is plenty of room on the inside for a personal message. The card measures 7″ x 5-1/2″.
