Quick Easy and So Nice Card Holder



I love this project and I got it from Patty Bennett as a down loadable tutorial. You can go to her blog http://www.pattystamps.com/ and find the Purse Tote with Cards. The purse tote took me about 10 minutes to make, the cards to go in the tote & the front of the purse took a little bit longer. I would make a suggestion that you cut your paper 10 inches instead of 8 1/2 inches because then you can pick up the tote with the cards in it easier.
This is a shot of the front and what it looks like open with the cards in it.This is the inside before I put the cards in it. I apologize for the horrible pictures the focus was really bad on some of these or they were way dark. I asked for a Lakeside Photo lab $35 for Christmas so we'll see if I get it or if I have to buy it but if I don't get more comments I just may wonder if I need it since no one wants to comment.
This is card #1 with lots of silver mini balls on it like the front of the card, MS edge punch and SU Baja Breeze ribbon.
Card # 2 is again simple with ribbon and a couple of stamps. All the insides have white on them with the DSP edge (forgot to take a picture of that).

Card #3 was easy with ribbon that actually matches but in this picture it sure doesn't look like it does. I thought the butterflies with rhinestones and the Snowman were cute on dotted swiss Cuddlebug folder paper.
Card #4 is horrible in this photo but I took over 8 pictures and this was the best. Again super simple design with oval punches and pearl embellishments. My hairdresser will love this he's my best customer and promoter.....Thanks Joey.

RECIPE:
Stamps Sets: SU Medallion, SU Simple Friendship, SU Oval All
Papers: DSP SU Spring Silhouettes, Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke, Vellum
Inks: SU Baja Breeze, Amuse Black
Accessories: SU ribbon, MM bead dots, SU ticket punch, CM corner rounder, MS border punches, MS butterfly punch.

Have a great weekend I'm off to play some more gotta make something for Linda (she's Joey's co-owner and sidekick).
God Bless.
