This was one of the swaps I made for Regionals. I modified it from this gift card purse I made a while ago. The Big Shot made it so much easier. I cut out a large scallop circle as shown in the photo below. Since I didn't need the whole scallop I was able to cut 4 out of one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock. Score it 1" from the flat edge and punch to holes in it for the handle. I bent wire and attached it using brads but ribbon also works. The base is 4 1/4" x 8 1/2". Score at 3 1/2" and 5". Fold it up to form your purse bottom and attach the scallop to the back for your flap. Add an embellishment and use a small piece of velcro to hold your purse closed.
I love your purse...very cute!
