Mother's Day Gift Purse

Hello everyone, Lisa M here today with a Mother's Day card. I created a gift purse and smaller card using the brown bag envelope and A2 card.

To start with, I stamped the flap with clear embossing ink added white embossing powder and heat embossed it. I love how the white pops on the brown.

I scored the sides and bottom of the envelope 1/4" from the edge. Then I scored the flap 1/4" from the fold on the flag only.

I cut the scored edges off of the flap.

Next I folded the score lines on the bottom tucking the edge of the envelope in, creating a gusset.

I re-enforced the top with clear tape and punched holes. I added sheer organza ribbon through the holes and secured with glue dots.

To hide the ends of the ribbon, I lined the inside with a piece of patterned paper and added to velcro dots to close the purse.

I heat embossed the front flap of the A2 Folded Card.

I scored the back of the card 1/4" from the original score line. I trimmed 1/4" off the front edge and 1/2" off of the top of the card. (This is so it will fit in the purse.)

I embellished the purse and card with die cut flowers and leaves using the Pop Tones cardstock. I added a stamped tag with a Pear Pin from A Jillian Vance Designs to the purse.
