I'VE HAD BAGS OF FUN!!

Hi Everyone

I fancied having a go at a handbag shaped card today .. .. and I must admit I am really pleased with the result.

Of course it doesn't want to fit into any standard sized envelope but now I have my scor-pal that won't be a problem. 

I did a quick envelope out of copy paper before I embellished my little card just to make sure I wasn't going to be stuck with a card that didn't fit an envelope LOL!!!







This used:


Papers: DCWV Latte Stack
Nestabilities: Standard Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Large (with a bit chopped off!!)
Sentiment: Elzybells
X-Cut Punches: Flowers
Button, Gems and Cord from the stash box

The template I used came from here.

I really love the finished look and think I am going to make a few more in different colours.

Can't wait for my lovely Sis to see it.  She isn't the only one that can make handbags!!  Tee hee!!

So it is a short and sweet post from me today as I am a bit of a busy bee and have a lot to do .. .. .. but I must just report that I had a lovely snuggly sleep last night with the extra duvet width!!

Catch you again tomorrow

Love

    Love love love this cute bag, might just have to use that template too, it's easier than covering a ready shaped card with PP:)
    Thanks for your lovely comment about my scrap page :)
