A Paper Handbag and Matching Triple Fold card

I have 2 fun projects for you today - both are easy but have a wow factor!  You can make both from 1 sheet of 12 x 12 patterned paper.  I chose to use 2 different patterns.  Click here for the video to quickly put these 2 projects together.


The Handbag (which easily holds 4-6 cards and envelopes), perfect for Easter, May Day or Mother's Day

You’ll need 4 brads and if you wish some twine and or decoration for the bag.


DSP Cutting instructions.  Start with a 12 x 12 sheet

TTrim 2 pieces 12 x 1 – so you are left with a piece 10 x 12 – cut this to 10 x 8. Set aside the 4 x 10 and use this for cards.

2Score the handbag on the long 10” side at 4 and 6”

3Cut into these score lines 1 ¾ (all 4), now fold these 2” pieces onto the bottom of the bag and adhere down.

4Add tear n tape to the 2 side edges.

5Fold the side edges to form a bag.

6Create the 2 handles from the 12 x 1 by folding in half (but only in the middle of the handles)

7Round the corners of the bottom of the handles

8Punch a hole at the bottom of 4 handles and holes to match on the bag.

9Use the brads to secure the handles

1Add a bow and or a tassel if you wish




And the Triple Fold Card

Front DSP: 3 ¼ x 4 ½

Layer behind Front DSP 3 3/8 x 4 5/8

White 10 x 3 ¾ score at 5”

White 3 ¾ x 2 ¼

DSP 4 x 2 ½, 4 x ½, 4 x ½

Navy 8 ¼ x 4 ¼ and score at 5 ½

White for greeting – depends on the size of the greeting – mine above is 3 ¼ x ½, layer is 3 ½ x 3 5/8 in the video is 3 1/2 x 1 1/2, layer is 3 5/8 x 1 5/8

I hope you make these projects! email me if you have questions, MaryKate@MaryKateScott.com
