Post-it Purses


Today I made a few of these Post-it Purses from bookmarks. I stamped the small leaf from the Basket Full of Fun set in Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. I used Q-tips dipped in the stamp pad ink to softly swirl colors on the leaves. I scored and folded the bookmark at 1 1/2", 2", 3 3/4" and 4 1/4" intervals. I used glue dots on the back of the mini post-it pads and put them in place. I added Pumpkin Pie ribbon for the handle and punched holes using the Double Rectangle punch and made a "bow" for the front. I watercolored Old Olive leaves on a separate bookmark and cut out and attached to front of purse. I used a small square of velcro to keep the purse closed.
