Tutorial - Top Note Purse

TOP NOTE PURSE TUTORIAL
I know you will want the instructions on how to make the adorable little purse I posted HERE and HERE using the Top Note Die from SU!, so I have created this tutorial for you. They are simple to make and can be used for any occasion.

Here are the supplies you will need:














Ink Pads
Stamps
Wide Oval Punch
Scallop Circle Punch
1-1/4" Circle Punch
Paper Snips
Adhesives: Snail, Dimensionals, Sticky Strip
Bone Folder
Big Shot & Top Note Die
Ribbon
Cardstock

Step 1
Cut two Top Notes using the Big Shot and the Top Note Die.












Step 2
Use the Wide Oval Punch and punch 1/4" below the top edge of the Top Note, one at a time.
I turn the punch upside down to make it easier to see the placement.









Step 3
This is what your Top Note should look like after you punch the handle.













Step 4
Cut a piece of cardstock for the base (I used Kraft) 4" x 5-1/2. Using the bone folder, score at 1" on all sides. Cut sides to form a 1" tab.
Place sticky strip on all four tabs.









Step 5
Fold and adhere the tabs to form the base of the purse.
Finished size of base is 2" x 3-1/2".








Step 6
Pinch the two sides together making a fold in the center of each short side of the base.
Place two lines of sticky strip on both long sides of the base.







Step 7
Stamp and decorate the Top Notes before proceeding to the next step. I used:
Stamps: Love You Much
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Pretty in Pink
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
Tools: Scallop Circle Punch, 1-14" Circle Punch







Step 8
Adhere the base to each side of a Top Note making sure the top and bottom are aligned and that the handles are matched up.








Step 9
Tie Ribbon on top of handle.
