Just run to your local fabric store
and buy a fat quarter or two
of something pretty to match our beautiful cardstock.
There are so many creative possibilities!

Don't you think this adorable PURSE CARD is about the cutest thing you've seen in a long time!  My inspiration came from all those quilted purses made from the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine. Even though this is more simple and not die-cut, it has the look!

HERE'S HOW:  

This is a standard card size 5-1/2" x 4-1/4".  I used Textured Card Stock for the purse and 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon for the handle.  The Punch sizes and Designer Brad name is on the supply list.

To make the stitches, draw "thread" lines with the 0.5mm end of a Stampin' Write Marker, in a 1" grid. After drawing the thread, put a tiny dot at the end of every stitch.  The dot looks like the hole a needle would make and is a very important step.  Then, score right on top of the stitch lines and it will look like a stitch-in-the-ditch!  (Even though I'm only a hobby quilter, I've heard real quilters use that term, and think it sounds cool.)

To make the top fabric flap...  I started to load all the step-by-step photos, but there are 14 of them.  So just email me and I'll send you a two page, full color, PDF file.  It includes a list of supplies too... Besides, I love hearing from you!

I will be using textiles on cards and 3-D projects occasionally.
