4 1/4 x 3 1/2" Box Purse Tutorial

Hi Friends! Hey, I found the time to create a tutorial. Gosh, I haven't made one for so long, I've forgotten how long it takes to make one. I have less time nowadays to devote time to creating tutorials but I do miss it sometimes. If you haven't been reading my blog for a while, I'm making great efforts to becoming fit and healthier. I've been exercising (walking, aerobic workouts) for at least 3 to 4 times a week. I'll probably be starting on resistance training tomorrow. I am also eating healthier as well. I've been keeping a food journal, keeping track of my workouts, drinking 8 glasses of water. . .it's a major change for me so it's been hard to concentrate on crafting because my focus and my energy have been towards my fitness journey. I really want to make a change that'll be permanent. I hope this time around, I'll be able to accomplish this goal.

Anyway. . .this project is a 4 1/4 x 3 1/2" box/purse. It's a simple project to create. The depth of the box is approximately 1 1/4" so you can fit a lot of goodies in the box. Scroll down below for the tutorial.

I decided to create a simple design for the box. . . .no, not because I was lazy. LOL! Sometimes I think I add too many layers to my cards and embellishments to my box projects and sometimes simple is nice.

I also made a matching card for this box.

Here is the card I made for the box. . .like I said. . .it's simple. All I did was use a sentiment stamp and added a prima flower witha decorative button to the center. This is actually a Christmas card. . .I think it can pass for a Christmas card, huh?

Anyway, check out the tutorial below.
