Bag Box

I am fortunate to have some very talented ladies at my card making club. Now and again I beg ask them to teach a class for me so I can have a break from trying to think of projects.
So far we've had two 'new' teachers, the others seem quite reluctant for some reason but I won't give up!


This week it was Jackie's turn and she showed us how to make this bag-box.
We used large scallop dies to make the sides (Spellbinders in my case, some used Go-Kreate with a smaller scallop) and then made a box for the inside.

The box is a fairly decent size, I might use mine for Easter eggs, the scalloped circles are about 6 inches to give some idea.
We made flowers out of layers of tissue paper to decorate. Mine should actually have a sentiment tag on as well but I was too busy talking to get as far as that.

Handbag

This was the project we made at SU class last Sunday.
I loved this one. A handbag made from paper :)
When I look at cards I can *usually* work out how they have been made. Something like this I haven't got the patience to figure out measurements etc so a class where all that was figured out for me was great.



The double-sided paper meant we had a matching lining for our bags and there was even a little pocket included for a message. A lovely way of presenting some choccies or sweets (except this bag's mine, too nice to give away!)
We had time to make a matching card too, I'll share that next post.
