Greetings Stampers and Happy Friday Eve! Around our office, everyone loves Thursdays ALMOST as much as Fridays. Today’s project, Tutti Frutti Purse is perfect for graduation gifts! No matter if elementary school, junior high, high school, or college graduations are on your calendar, this little gem filled with folded up “bills” will be a big hit! You can crank them out so easily.
Change up the project to be a messenger bag or backpack to make it more gender neutral. Although, my husband has been known to carry my purse at times on vacation. He might go for one of these, especially if it is filled with money! 🙂
This paper is on the retiring list right now but you can still grab it, along with some other coordinating items.
Go ahead and click here to order. I’ve included the instructions, along with measurements, below. Of course, if this paper isn’t your style, it will work with paper you love just as well!
