Petal Burst Sweet Soiree Handbag

I can't wait to craft with you all again. This Monday Feb 26 we are making this cute handbag, a matching 3 x 3 card, and an "elegant" Sweet Soiree card.

So sorry to be so absent (too much work, too much work travel and now a cold)! Thanks for checking back and I'll be much more present, I promise :)

This bag is really easy to make.  The template can be printed right on to the card stock and you cut out the template, score where you need to and it folds up easily.  If you want the template, email me at MaryKate@MaryKateScott.com

Once you have copied the template, cut off 2 strips 8 1/2 x 1/2" for the handles, then you'll make 2 additional sides for the bag and run these through the BigShot with the Petal Burst embossing folder.  

Ok so.. attach the handles, then cover the handles with the petal burst sides using 6 dimensionals.  Add the silver trim 1/2 x 1 3/4 and add the tassel from the embellishment set on page 13 in the Occasions catalog.   

The card is 6 x 3 with the 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 petal burst and topped with the cute die cut from the same kit (see right).

Tomorrow I'll post on using the die cuts from this set.  

I have 1 place left for Monday's class where we will make the bag, the 3x3 and a regular card (and maybe a 4th project!)  RSVP asap for the spot.

Happy crafting, MaryKate
