Little purse with a bow made using the Cricut Artiste cartridge.

Hello, everyone!

I hope you have all had a great week! My week was productive, but I felt like a total recluse. The only time I left the house was to go to the post office to mail catalogs. Otherwise I crafted, spent time with my little one, and watched Twin Peaks. I just love that show! They have the entire series on Netflix and it is so addicting! They also have all of the Star Trek franchises, so I may never leave my house again! Yes, I love Star Trek. It is my all time  favorite! That makes me a super geek, huh?

Today's post is another little purse made using the Artiste cartridge. This little purse can be made bigger than I cut it if you turn in on it's side and cut it on a 12" x 24" mat.

I used the Pemberly patterned paper line from Close To My Heart.
I just love this lit bow!

very cute purse, Melanie!

Lisa said...

Love that paper you used. Your suggestion to cut it on the 12x24 mat - besides the Cricut paper, where can I find paper larger than 12 inches?

Answering my own question - maybe wrapping paper?

Darling purse and I really like the paper you used on it. What size is the purse when it is assembled? It's hard to tell from just a photo.

Love the Purse. Love the new Artiste Cartridge, too!

Wendy said...

Wow, that's pretty paper! Nice little purse....

talkingcricut said...

Cute purse!! We 'lady geeks' need to stay united!! My college-age daughters have discovered that being sci-fi fans opens up a lot of conversations with guys. In fact, my oldest is going to marry 'hers' next June (and just yesterday we discussed making her garter with little Lego Han & Leia Solo figures as a surprise for him during the wedding!)

Vanessa said...

Really cute purse! Thanks for sharing!

Kelly Phillips said...

Cute purse, the bow is a great touch.
If you are a geek for watching Star Trek or any sci-fi you are not alone. I love twin peaks, star trek, battle star galactica, and many more. GEEKS UNITE

Craftmom said...

Can't wait to use the Artiste cartridge!

Love the purse! I can see it as a holder for Christmas gifts for all my friends! If I don't win, I guess I'll just have to purchase that cartridge! fingers crossed.

Kristie Maynard said...

This is adorable! Would bes cute as a party favor or gift card holder. Love it!

Anonymous said...

Love your little purse and the bow is adorable.
I was glad to see they had Twin Peaks also. I have had the series on DVD forever but didn't want to watch it until I could see the pilot. My copy of season 1 didn't have it included and starts out with a "previously on..." I could tell a lot happened on the pilot.

Brenda Moore said...

Super cute and gorgeous paper.

Ruth G said...

Fun project! I just got Pemberley and can't wait to start creating with it!
I know what you mean about being a recluse! It happens, especially when you can watch great old TV endlessly! I'm a geek, too. I love Star Trek and Star Wars (sometimes watch Star Wars the Clone Wars cartoons with my kids...) I also found the OLD Battlestar Galactica on Netflix and watched the first episode with my 10 yo DS. He hasn't asked to watch more, but didn't seem to mind watching the one episode too much;-)

Dubious_KS said...

purses are such fun ways to give little gifts

Momof4inArlington said...

It sounds like a wonderful weekend to me! Wow, that paper is gorgeous! Such a cute little purse.

I LOVE Star Trek as well! :D I actually found a "Beam Me Up Scotty" stamp at a local store. Thought about buying it and then realized that I didn't know too many people that would get a kick out of it. I guess I could have sent you a card!
