  1. With the box still flat, cover the flap with pink textured paper, trimming edges evenly. Stamp the large floral image on the center of the flap. Cover the front of the handle with brown/pink dotted paper, trimming excess evenly. Ink the edges of the handle and flap, and let dry.
  2. Interlock the bottom flaps inside the purse. Slide the handle through the opening at the top of the flap, then secure the flap into the slit. Cut a 3 1/2"x3/4" brown/pink dotted strip and glue across the bottom of the purse, leaving a thin white border at the bottom.
  3. Use the small single flower stamp to stamp four flowers on pink paper. Cut out the flowers, cutting away the excess leaves and small swirls. Attach 3 flowers across the bottom of the brown/pink dotted strip with foam tape, evenly spaced as a border. Attach the remaining flower with foam tape to the handle.
  4. Write or computer print "A gift for you" on the small pink tag. Punch a hole at the top, then thread 3" of floss through the hole, making a loop and securing the ends at the back of the tag. Add a brad through the hole and "hang" the tag with the floss over the flower on the handle as shown. Cover the back with dotted paper, trimming edges evenly.
