MOTHER'S DAY PAPER PURSE using SWEET OLD FRIENDS stamp set & dies Bundle - Stampin' Up!


Shop Stampin' Up! Here

Hi Friends!
My project today is a Paper Purse I made for Mother's Day.  The purse measures  3  x  4  x  1 1/2".  I used the Sweet Old Friends stamp set & dies Bundle, Sweet Words & Labels stamp set & dies Bundle and Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper.

You can watch My Video Tutorial Here!


I started with a piece of Barely Blush Cardstock sized:
9 1/2  x  7 3/4"
I scored the  9 1/2" side at:
1/2,  3 1/2,  5  and  8"
I scored the  7 3/4" side at:
1 1/2,  5 1/2  and  6 1/4"
To cut and put the box together you can watch My Video Tutorial Here.


I attached several pieces of Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper.
(2)  2 3/4  x  3 3/4"  front and back
(1)  2 3/4  x  1/2"  top
(2)  2 3/4  x  1 1/4"  front and back of flap


I stamped the frame from Sweet Words & Labels stamp set onto a Barely Blush striped piece of the Silly Old Bear DSP with Basic Black Ink.
I cut the Label out using the matching die.


I stamped the Image of Pooh & Piglet onto Basic White Cardstock with Basic Black Ink.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends
Light Mossy Meadow  -  Piglet's Clothes
Light & Dark Barely Blush  -  Piglet
Light & Dark Golden Glow  -  Pooh
I attached the image to the Label I cut out with Dimentionals.
I attached the entire piece to the front of the box with Dimensionals.


I punched 2 holes int the top edges of the box with a 1/8" Hole Punch.
I put a 10" piece of Barely Blush Bordered Ribbon through the holes and tied a knot at each end inside the box.
I tied a small bow with the same ribbon and attached it to the front of the box with a Glue Dot and Liquid Glue.
I added some 3/8" Adhesive Backed Velcro Dots for the closure.


I stamped the sentiment onto a 1 1/4  x  2" piece of Barely Blush Cardstock with Basic Black Ink.
I attached the sentiment to a  1 3/8  x  2 1/2" piece of Mossy Meadow Cardstock with Liquid Glue.
I attached the sentiment to the back of the box, under the flap, with Liquid Glue.


I added 3 Barely Blush 2026-28 In Color Dots to the Label for the final touch.
