This ensemble includes 3 cards, a post-it holder and a coordinating pen and how cute it all comes in a matching "purse". What lady doesn't love a purse?!?!

Designer Series paper-cut to (2) 3 x 4 1/2" for the accent piece on front and back of the purse
RSVPentel Pen - You will need a pen that you can insert a piece of paper into so that it coordinates with your "purse" (3 1/2" x 7/8")

A piece of card stock cut to 3 1/2" x 7 1/2" that is scored @ 3 1/2" and 4" for the post it note holder
