This last friday I had a fun workshop with some ladies I met recently. I wanted to make something nice for the hostess who organized the evening and so I decided to make her a purse with a variety of cards inside. I knew she loved purple and I remembered the awesome purples in the Lap of Luxury Designer Paper. I swear, the first time I saw this pattern I said,”it looks like velvet!”. It really does look luxurious in person!
So, to go with the luxury theme, I used black (more posh, don’t you think?) and made the handles out of Black Satin ribbon (I love this stuff!!). The inside opens up and I put in four cards with envelopes, oh, and some yummy chocolates, but it could hold a ton more.
This purse is actually remarkably easy to make and only uses 1 sheet of designer paper and 1/2 a sheet of cardstock! I may have to make a few more for extra gifts.
Thanks for visiting!
Luxury Card Purse Recipe:
Paper: Lap of Luxury DSP, Basic Black CS
Accessories: Basic Black satin ribbon, Round Tab punch, Kraft corduroy buttons (clearance rack item), Pewter Jumbo Eyelets, Crop-a-Dile, Sticky Strip, Velcro circles, Corner Rounder punch
