Well, here we are, the last card from the handbag portfolio that we made at team training. Amanda designed all of these cards for us, you can see her blog here.
This is a lovely gate fold card decorated inside and out with papers from the Sweet shop designer paper pack.
The accent images are from Tea Shoppe, I wasn't sure about this set when I first saw it but I have to confess it has grown on me and is now top of my wish list. The images are stamped in chocolate chip ink onto whisper white card, and matted onto a pool party scalloped circle. A length of ribbon secured with a jelly bean brad holds the card closed for sending.
Here is a closer look at the accents.
Another from the Handbag portfolio. The main image is from the Mouthwatering stamp set and has been coloured with marker pens. The designer paper is again from Sweet shop; other embellishments are the new Bakers twine in calypso coral, ruffled ribbon also in coral and a jelly bean brad.The sentiment is from Sweet cake.
This is the first card from the Handbag portfolio and uses a colour combination of Wisteria wonder, Pool Party and Lucky limeade. The image is from the Sweet Cake stamp set available in the Summer mini catalogue, it has been stamped and then the icing coloured using a blender pen and a jelly bean brad added for interest. You can't see very well in this photo but the limeade layer beneath the image has had a pattern pierced in the corners, I don;t use the technique very often but I do like it, I really should remember it more. The designer paper layer is from Sweet Shop, also available from the summer mini.
Isn't this great? A handbag made from Speciality Designer Paper that holds 4 regular A6 cards inside it! Amanda Fowler showed us how to make these at our quarterly training event in May.
The bag is made from just one sheet of 12x12 paper which is scored and folded. The closure is made by adding another small piece of card. I stamped mine with the confetti stamp set and the handbag strap is a piece of Lucky limeade ruffled ribbon.
I'll show you the cards in more detail over the next few days.
