These were super simple to make. The purse on the right is how the templates print (with handles.) However, you can save paper and add interest by omitting the handles & adding ribbon instead--as I have with the purse on the left. I used Mellow Moss taffeta ribbon here. The little flowers hide the ends of the ribbon. They're punched from the Three For You set. I've added little paper punched circles and crystal effects to them to get some dimension. Double sided paper is so sweet with these because you get the full effect of both sides. These papers are both by Cosmo Cricket: Fleuriste-Vineyard & Fleuriste-Maize.
To make the purses without having printer lines show:
1. Print a copy of the template(s) onto cardstock (I love Naturals)
2. Cut along the edges
3. Place template over your patterned paper
4. Trace with a pencil (mechanical pencil or a sharp one) Omit handles if you like
5. Cut along pencil lines & erase them when done
6. Score where the pattern indicates (dotted lines) Don't worry this pattern is very forgiving with score lines. I was worried I had bunged it up & it turned out just fine :0)
7. Embellish with eyelets & ribbon (if desired)
8. Fold & press along folds with a bone-folder
9. Adhere with good double-sided tape
