This hop is filled with Cricut Circle Members ~ my MB name is ScrappinMyStressAway!
I made this cute Purse to hold my niece's birthday gift. We go for a pedicure and I wanted to give her some nail polish, nail stickers, toe separators and some foot spray.
I started out with the Forever Young Cartridge and selected the nail polish purse. I opened a 12 x 24 mat and sized the purse to 15.68w x 7.20h.
I took a piece of 12 x 18 watercolor paper and put it on a 12 x 24 mat.
I selected multi cut #2 to cut through the watercolor paper.
Here is my purse, but now it needs some color.
I took 2 pieces of paper from this K&Co paper pad.
I switched my mat size on my gypsy to 12 x 12 and cut out each half of the purse.
Here are the two cuts.
I trimmed the pieces.
I scored the purse at the score marks.
I inked the edges with Staz On purple ink.
I used Terrifically Tacky Tape to adhere the purse together. I cut out a tag.
Here are the goodies in the purse! Shhhh don't tell ~ her birthday is on the 19th!
I do have a little blog candy! All you need to do to is #1 Be or become a follower, #2 Leave me a comment that includes your go-to gift wrap item, and #3 Leave me a way to contact you if you win!

Such a cute gift bag! I'm terrible at the packaging. I put a lot of thought into the gift, but usually I'm packaging it at the very last minute so there's almost no time to make the packaging cute. The most creative I've been is to stamp on the craft paper covering the box I'm mailing it in... So sad.
This is my favorite (shh don't tell). What a perfect idea!!!
My favorite go-to gift wrap item: gift bag-- or it was before I saw this cute little bag you made!

I love this idea for a girl! And I love K&Co paper! It doesn't look that hard to make as you explain it, but the finished product definitely has that WOW factor! Thanks for sharing!!
Perfect bag. Love all the cute girly stuff. Cindy
Love tha bag!! TFS!!

What a cute little box for your neice she will love it and all the goodies you have inside ..too! I am already a follower- and I guess when I need to make something for a gift I tend to make gift tag and decorage a bag up to match. There are some really cute ideas on the blog hop glad I found some time to check them out. Also the person before you- there link to your blog is not working...which you might want to correct.
Great idea on using the water color paper! Thanks for the blog candy, you are such a sweetie!
I used tissue paper, with bags, as a wrap, as a stuffing, so many ways. I love using it!
Cute purse! I've never use watercolor paper, may have to try this.
Adorable Bag!!!!!! I am a new follower and i usually just use a gift bag and add a little something to it
