Pretty Purse Card




It was recently my granddaughter's tenth birthday, so I had to make her a card that combined some of her favorite things. She is definitely a girly-girl who loves her three cats, so I combined the two in this card.

I used the file, Purse Pretty from My Scrap Chick for the card, and used a feminine, pink, double-sided cardstock from Modern Millinery by COLORBOK. I inked all the edges in pink and added some pink gems by Jots to the flaps.


 Using my Cricut Maker
 I added some corny cat sentiments to the mats in the small pocket in the front of the purse.


On the inside I added a kitty face image and a birthday sentiment. Then I added some lace sticker borders by Jots. My granddaughter loved her kitty, purse card. (And so do I.)

Thanks for stopping by!

Moose Belly Box Silverware Holder


Hi! I'm so excited that it's camping season again! We have a new motor home and I needed something to hold our fancy plastic silverware, so I made this little holder using two of the Moose Belly Box files.



I grouped all the pieces together and enlarged everything so the tallest piece is 11.5 inches. I duplicated the file and flipped it horizontally. I inked all the pieces, then put the boxes together using foam tape on the muzzle and paws so the box has some dimension. I added a divider to each box using a 7 by 3 inch piece of paper. I folded the piece in half and a 1/2 inch flap on each short end. I added glue along the edges and on the flaps then attached one in the center of each box. I glued the two boxes together back to back and clipped them together while they dried. The last step was adding a bow from 5/8 inch ribbon.


This little guy looks so cute on the table in our motor home and will be so easy to carry outside when we eat at the picnic table.

Have a great crafty day and thanks for stopping by!
