We made these adorable little tote bags at my April club meetings They are shown here with a set of four note cards and envelopes, but you could use them for other gifts and favors, too. I used Park Lane designer series paper, and I picked a stamp from “Petal Potpourri” to use on my coordinating tag and note cards.
As I have mentioned before (many times!!)…I love it when a project shows off both sides of the designer paper! I didn’t get a picture, but you can see this in the video – these purses have beautiful linings just because the paper is printed on both sides. The note cards in each bag also use a square of designer paper from the collection.
Speaking of the note cards, our 3 1/2″ x 5″ note cards come cut and scored, ready to use! There are 20 in a pack for $5.95, and they come in Whisper White or Crumb Cake. They are easily one of my favorite things in the catalog, but also easily missed!
If you happen to have any designer paper laying around (ha!), you have to try this project! It only takes a 4″ x 12″ piece, and it is so easy. If you don’t have 12″ strips of cardstock for the trim pieces, use a coordinating piece of designer paper for the trim.
I have to leave you with this funny picture that my sister sent me this weekend…
Don’t you love it?! Unfortunately, my UPS man comes around dinner, and my husband is usually home in time to notice the deliveries. I do always mention that many of my orders are for customers, but it’s hard to hide my growing personal stash. Wherever you live, I hope you are at the start of a UPS route!
