 This is a very simple little card to make.

Square card and a bit of fancy paper, go for something classic and not too feminine.

Easter Vintage Handbag

Hi Everyone

This is my 2nd post for you to enjoy

and i hope you all have a wonderful Easter.
Please feel free to leave a comment and then ill know you stopped by,
thanks joanne

I made this little card Bag and Tag for Crafts Beautiful Magazine.

So excited first time ever had anything published.

Using the Free download from Serif I got lovely Filigree Egg paper and Rabbit, or use any paper and colour choice.

Give someone special a Shabby Chic, Vintage Easter

 with my handbag card and matching bookmark and Tag.

what You Need

Serif Easter free down load

Adhesives Pin flair Tom Bow

Ribbon

Pearls

Embossing powder, heat gun

Scoring board ruler, bone folder

Card A4 2 sheets, 2 sheets paper

Spellbinders die (fancy tag) Madera Corner Flourish die (Memory box) Empty tape roll

 Plus a little extra special treat

with my Holder to match.
 Add a little Easter egg inside or a plant
 or simply use it as a pen holder or desk tidy. 

1. Stick corner flourish to each side of front of bag using pin flair.
2. After die cutting sentiment I embossed it using s quickie glue pen and aquamarine embossing powder, used some 3d foam pads for dimension.
3. Add a Bow and embellishment,
   1. For that Easter special touch, cut out a Rabbit from the serif program for the tag, punch a hole at top and add embellishment eye and collar with contrasting gems. Add ribbon an attach to side handle of bag.

1. A4 Card and scoring board score several lines to fold.
2. From bottom of card score and fold at 7cm (fold inwards)
3. Score 2^nd line at 9cm and fold outwards, 3^rd line at 11cm fold inwards, this is the Constantia base to make the bag stand up.
4. Score last two lines at 21cm and 22cm and fold inwards, for the handle.
5. Complete folding, reinforce with bone folder for a professional look. I also used a small wood ware corner punch for the edges
6. Using contrasting paper cut out and measure 1cm less and matt and layer. I used Tom Bow glue to stick down paper as it gave a good strong quick bond, but gave you a little grace for movability.

Inking round all edges for that Vintage effect with Tim Holz (Vintage photo) distress inks, and a little cut’n dry foam. 

1. For a firmer handle wrap florist’s fine wire around each pearl, push through hole and fold in approx. 3cm and glue, use glue gun for a quick strong hold.

Just a few other ideas with same pattern.

Welcome to JoesyCraft blog.

Welcome everyone to my Crafty blog!

This is my card I designed for Serif Craft Artist Design Team

for their launch of the

 New Digiboss Kits.

 I used the background papers from Serif.

8x8 card

Papers from serif

Lace, ribbon

Spellbinder die ‘flourish’

And other dies

Some pearls

Cosmic shimmer

Distress inks Vintage

The Butterfly’s also from  SERIF new digiboss, I cut them out and coloured them in with ’pro markers’

This tag is very simply done.

The wonderful background papers from serif which I printed on my cheap printer..

Look embossed.

 But THEY ARE NOT EMBOSSED..its the effect of serif. Its super really looks like I have embossed it.

I love the colour of this paper.

I wrapped a bit of lace which was white. I left it in tea for a few hours and rinsed it lightly to give it the vintage colour.

As this is my first blog there will be more.. Hope you enjoy looking
