Does anyone else save their fortune cookie fortunes? Glad I did because I had no idea what I was going to tuck into this evening bag when I made it. Went through a lot of trial and errors till I found it. I went to my "girly" stamp drawer and saw the purse clasp. Size-wise, it fit one of my jar stamps pretty well, so I only inked the bottom part of the jar. I made a mortise from the jar so I could put the pretty floral pattern inside. I used a stamp positioner to put the clasp on the bag. Used an Exacto knife to cut a slit in the pattern to tuck in the fortune. All was mounted on gold glitter card.

What a perfect fortune to tuck inside, for sure anyone with this elegant little purse is heading for a party. I've just been watching a series set in the 30s and this would fit in perfectly.

I want to wear the dress that would go with this purse, especially since it looks like we’re heading to a party! Just lovely. Thanks so much for playing in my challenge.

How clever and yes, there are others out there who save their fortune cookie fortunes (I have three jars full.) How simply giddy to use them this way. TFS!
