    When I saw the thumbnail for this I thought it was another cute folio album.😊 Now I want to make a purse folio. 😊
  • This would be a cute idea for a "gift basket". Not necessarily with this paper. But if you wanted to give a friend a little something -- or teens at church -- hand soap, lip gloss, a gift card. Just a cute presentation rather than a basket. 😊💛
  • @barbs1956
    I love making these, I made over 100 for a craft show..!!! LOVE
  • I loved the sophisticated satchel but this looks easier. I made about 20 of these and give as gifts with 6-8 coordinated cards. I made some as baby shower prizes and the ladies loved them! So happy you updated this purse.
  • Cute. I would put in some chap stick or lip balm a pocket pack of tissues a small notebook embellished maybe a pen lottery ticket or gift card maybe a few mints too( tic tacs). I did that with a purse tutorial of yours from before for the ladies at work.

    I’ve made these in the past but the sticker charms are such a darling addition. I have watched you for years Maymay and today it just reminded me how much I love listening to you teach. You do it so well and you are truly gifted ❣️Thank you, love Deb
  • I loved this tutorial. I love it when people make things without dies or a cutting machine and your instructions for this adorable purse are so clear. Both of your purses/medical bag turned out so stinkin cute. The charms you created couldn’t be any cuter. Love, love, ❤️
  • Due to “life happenings”, it took me a few days to watch this video. Maymay, thank you so much! Even though I have an older cricut, I do not have the electronic one (yet). I’ve seen the purses being made by the cricut, & sure wished I could make one. Now I can. Just loved this & can’t wait to start making these to give to my love ones. Thanks again!
  • I think it would be super cute to design a folio that fits in the purse!
  • Gorgeous bags, you explained the method of making them so clearly . Thank you . Let’s hope it’s as easy to make as you made it look lol
  • I have ti add this: this is the bEST little purse I have eer seen, and I have videos that show the purses!!!!!!
  • I have made 4 of these in the last two days. Love these. I could not seem to make these handles to save my life so I decided on jute rope and is so cute. Thank you Maymay

  • @christyc7888
    Love this!!!! So versatile for many "givings". I have always said that presentation is so important! An awesome bag can make 4 simple cards look like a million bucks!!!!! Of course, more than 4 cards would fit! Great job, Maymay!
