Gift Bag/Purse

Hello my friends!  As I posted yesterday, I had finished a project before we left Thursday before my daughter's pageant.  I was so busy packing and running around, I wasn't able to post it before we left.  So here it is.  I found  a youtube tutorial and had to try it.  You could put all kinds of goodies inside, even a cupcake or a card and a small gift.   I altered the measurements because the dimensions given in the tutorial didn't work for the size of bag I have.  The sentiment came from the Cardz TV Stamp set "Garden Greetings."
                            
The white panel on the front of the bag was cut at 4 7/8 x 6 1/4.  You need to make two, one for the front and one for the back.  The front flap white cardstock was cut at 2 x 4 7/8.  The patterned paper was cut at     1 3/4 x 4 5/8.   The paper came from a Recollections stack from Michaels.   For the strawberries on the front, I used the Hello Kitty cartridge.  The two on top were cut out at 1 1/4, the two on either side of the large one were cut at 1 1/2, and the large one in the middle was cut at 1 3/4.   I used my favorite EK Success corner punch.  I used small Velcro dots for closure.  I punched holes and put ribbon for the handle.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I would really love to hear from you!

Lots of Hugs,
