Pretty Little Pocketbooks

I have granddaughters and if there is one thing they like it is anything 3D!  Today's little project is perfect for our youngest granddaughter, Emma.  She loves being a princess.  She loves everything cowgirl!  But she really loves dressing up and has her own wardrobe of long, pretty dresses at our house.

Today I made little purses:

Before this past Christmas I had a Silhouette Cameo - an old Silhouette Cameo my husband bought me for Christmas while I was still working (I stopped working in 2012).  I did not realize how age was creeping up on the old gal until my husband bought me a new Cameo 3 for Christmas.  It purrs like a kitten.  My other one sounded like a chainsaw but I didn't realize it until I plugged up the new one.  Happy Cameo 3 girl!!!

I used a Silhouette file to cut out my little pocketbooks with Heidi Swap card stock.  I used the red super strong adhesive to make sure my seams would stick.  I decorated the hearts with mulberry roses and a single flower on the light green one and added twine bows.  I also used flat-backed pearls.  I attached Velcro dots to the bottom of each heart and the pocketbook for a closure.  They are perfect to fill with candy for the youngest, and nail polish and lip gloss for the older girls.  They are also wonderful for shower happies.

Emma's eyes were very wide when she saw them  :)  That's what makes a grandmother happy!
