How To Make a Card Purse

 Can you tell that GREEN is my favorite color? 

I also have to like purple because it is my son's favorite color!

Materials needed:

1 sheet of cardstock, 8.5 x 11 inches

2 pieces of patterned paper, 3 x 4.5 inches

2 lengths of ribbon, each 16 inches long

scoring blade

scallop punch

buttons

brads

adhesive

Purse Instructions:

1) Score the cardstock piece at 1.25 (1 1/4) inch in from each side. Score at 4.5 (4 1/2) inch in from each end. Fold and snip on the four score lines that are 1.25 (1 1/4) inches long.

2) Decorate the purse with patterned paper, ribbon, and embellishments.

3) Fold together purse and glue. Add brads to sides for extra durability.

4) Fill purse with invitation-size cards and envelopes. (These are cards that are 5.5 x 4.25)
