Cute and Easy Mini Totes/Purses

Ok, I made these really cute and SUPER EASY Totes!  You can put 3 x 3 notecards in there. About 4 or 5 will fit with envelopes and of course my favorite! CHOCOLATES!!!!  There are alot of variations but I have  the Stampin Up! Designer Sampler Pad we got awhile ago that has been sitting there just waiting for me to use it! ; )  Anyway, I’ll try and give you the best directions I know how.  I’ll get better at it really! Let me know what you think.

Ok, here goes, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email me.

Start with a 6 x 6 Piece of Cardstock, I used the Designer Paper in the samples above.  Score 1 side at 1 inch on both sides, turn and score at 2 1/2 inches on both sides. (this is the middle part)  You’ll see the little middle tab which you can leave or take out. Make a slit up to the 1 inch score on both side. I used Sticky Tape on one side and stuck it together.  That is it!  For the handles I used my strips, I think I measured them to be 3/4 x 6 or 7 inches, you can always use Ribbon too.  Then just embellish how ever you like.  Well that’s all for now.  I’ve got lots more to share.  I’ll be posting more cards and some more treat holders.   Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Stampin’!  Yvonne

Valentine’s Class coming up….

Ok, these last few days, I’ve been plugging away on my stamping! Perfect weather as it’s been raining off and on the last couple days!  So this is what is coming in February!  Let me know what you think!

Dsc00084 There are a variety of Goodie Boxes! The Acetate Box on the left was my 1st attempt, The box in the Middle was inspired from a pattern shared by Amy Celona, The Ghiradelli Chocolate Wrap/Box is all acetate and I found the pattern on Lauren Meaders Blog! LOVE this one!  Lastly, the York Peppermint Patty treat bag was inspired by Wanda Pettijohn’s Blog! LOVED her stuff and she gave SUPER DUPER Easy Directions!  So that’s is!  I’ll have the dates for this class a little later!  My Son is sleeping so time to go and finish stamping and taking photos for more posts!

I have a GREAT Mini Purse/Tote Holder too!  But I’ll try and post a little later with directions.  But for sure by the weekend!  Thanks for stopping by!
