  Receive $5 Bonus Cash to spend in August for every $50 spent in July!

 

For the last few weeks I've been showing you some cute cards using the Swirly Bird stamp set and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies.  Today I wanted to show you how to make a fun tote to hold all these cards.  It, too, uses the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies.

 

 

 INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut a piece of Tip Top Taupe from the In Color Designer Series Paper Stack to measure 4” x 12” and set aside.

2. Cut several pieces of Basic Black card stock according to the following measurements: 

               Base:  5-1/4” x 2-1/2;  score at 1/2” each on each of the 4 sides.

               Handles:  Cut 2 to measure 8-1/2” x 1/2”; round the ends of the handle.

               Trim Pieces:  Cut 2 to measure 12” x 1/2”

3. After base has been scored, fold along score lines, then cut flaps to score line and add Glue Dots and adhere to form base.

4. Add Tear & Tape Adhesive to the 4” x 12” designer paper and carefully add to the Basic Black base.

5. Adhere 1/2 of a Delicate White Doily to the top outside of the tote.

6. Adhere one of the Basic Black 1/2” x 12” strips around the top of the tote.

7. With the 1/8” Handheld Circle Punch, punch holes for the handles. Add the Basic Black 8-1/2” x 1/2” handles using brads.

8. Adhere one of the Basic Black 1/2” x 12” strips to the inside top of bag.
