September Stamper's Group

  • This is the first project I did with my Stamper's Group. Very cute as a gift, make a theme for someone so that they always have cards on hand.


    Card Gift Bag
    Adapted from Paper Crafts Magazine


    Great for giving sets of matching cards or stationery or small gifts
  • Use one full sheet of 8 ½ x 11 cardstock
  • Score at 7 ¼ (+/or at 1 ¼ depending on how you look at it) on the 11 inch sides
  • Score at 4 ½ (+/or at 6 ½ depending on how you look at it) on the 8 ½ inch sides
  • Fold the scored lines; cut the 4 1/2 inch score lines just to where they meet the 7 1/4 score lines (makes small flaps that will be folded in when you make the sides by adhering the longer flaps to each other).

  • Finished size: 6 wide x 4 ½ tall x 2 deep
  • You can adjust the height and the depth of the tote be changing the 4 ½ inch score lines. That measurement determines the height of the sides – the depth of the purse will be affected.-adjust size by using 12x12 cardstock (or any size)
  • Embellish as you wish – the possibilities are endless- handles, straps, tags, hardware, stickers, photos, etc.

I would love to see how yours turned out, Please feel free to send me a photo or try to upload in the comments section.

Scalloped edges

As promised, I created a card using the pieces I created from the tutorial. It also allowed me to use the new "Bali Breeze" paper and my new " Embrace Life" stamp set. As you can see, I used the scalloped pieces along each side of the paper and it gives it a great off set from the main part of the card. I stamped using "Tempting Turquoise" as I did not yet get the In Colors "Soft Sky" ink yet. I think it goes well don't you? Thanks for looking!

Love Matters - just in time for Valentines!

I loved this set from the moment I saw it. I had visions with these colours so of course I had to try them out. It is a great set and very versatile for both card making and scrapbooking alike. I have a challenge for you. If you own this set, have made a card or scrap page using it, send me an email: Challenge with the link or the sample and I will "link" to it from my blog, or post it for all to see. I love to see how others also use this set.
