Jem's August Blog Hop - When is a bag not a bag?

When it's a card . . . . . . 

I've made quite a few of these handbag cards since Amanda Bates at the Craft Spa put the instructions on her blog. It's so easy to make but so effective. You can find the instructions here.

This was an extra special one I made for my eldest daughters 21st birthday. She loves her handbags so I knew straight away that I'd be making one of these cards for her. I used the bag card to give her a gift of a necklace she wanted & it was the ideal size inside.

I've had a bit of a Thinlets & Framelits frenzy with this bag but if you can't throw everything at a card for such a special birthday when can you?

I've use a few of the thinlets from the Sunshine Wishes set and also the Large Numbers Framelits.

I also love the Labeler Alphabet stamp set & it was ideal for personalising the bag card.

My daughter absolutely loved her card & I really enjoyed making it.

Thanks for taking the time to join us on our Blog Hop today and I hope you are enjoying all the inspiration. Next of your journey is the lovely Julie who I know will have a fab project for you.

Happy Crafting.
