How cute is this? One of my awesome downline, Retta, gave this to me when she stopped by one day. Many of you have probably seen purses like this on previous posts but a bit larger. They are made using the Stampin' Up! exclusive Scallop Square Die (#115950).
It looks like this.
The scallop square is 4 3/8".
I really like this die because I've used it on a lot of projects. It's such a pleasing shape.
So how do you use a die to make a purse? Well, the Sizzix Big Shot and many of the dies are designed to be used on tons of different materials from paper, chipboard, cardstock, fabric, metals, wood, cork, felt and the list goes on and on. In the case of this purse the die was used to cut scallop squares from fabric. Even better, when using a normal weight cotton fabric you cut through eight layers at a time!!! Making this a super fast project.
When you look at the versitility of the Sizzix Big Shot you really begin to see the value it has to offer. If you have questions or would like to talk about what all you can do with the Big Shot feel free to contact me anytime.
Here are links to a couple other purses I shared with you before and my favorite Sizzix/Fabric project flower pins.
