I LOVED this idea when I came across it in Yvonne's gallery (YvonneAna)!! I pm'd her and she graciously agreed to let me CASE her idea for today's challenge sample. Here is a link to her BRILLIANT creation:
I had SOOO much fun creating this! The dimensions for the purse are as follows:
Cardstock cut to 6" x 9" and scored at 3" and 6.5" on the 9" side. Run the cardstock through your machine (whichever you happen to use) with an embossing folder of your choice. You will need to run in through four times to get all areas of the cardstock covered. Then, rub the cardstock with craft or versamark ink. Sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat set. To create the little side panels, cut a piece of matching cardstock (in this case, Chocolate Chip) to 2" x 2.5". Score at .5" intervals along the 2" side and accordion fold. Adhere this piece to the front and back of the textured piece AFTER you have sewn some coordinating dsp to the back side of it (make sure to put the textured side DOWN in the sewing machine, as it tends to catch on the presser foot if you don't). Decorate and embellish to your heart's content!!
Paper: Close to Cocoa, Not Quite Navy, Very Vanilla, Blue Bayou, Bella Bleu dsp
Ink: Chocolate Chip (craft), Not Quite Navy
Accessories: 5-petal flower punch, MS butterfly punch, Cuttlebug Tiny Mosaic and Swiss Dots embossing folders, small oval punch, 1/2" circle punch, large pearl sticker, Blue Bayou ribbon, hodgepodge hardware ribbon slider, velcro stickers

Wow - this is so different and so cool. Thanks for all the details on it too. It would make the best money card! I really, really like it.
