I thought today I would share more of my projects I made to be a finalist.

This is half of my second project I made for

Heartfelt Creations as a semi finalist.
Half I hear you say ..... Yes!
This is an envelope box designed as a clutch bag
to go with the shoes I made.

How I wish I could make these in fabric !

BUT like I said there is another part to it
which I will share with you soon !!

Materials Used

Classic Leaf Die

Vintage Floret Die

Mini Vintage Floret PreCut stamps

Open Vintage Floret PreCut stamps

Open Leaf PreCut stamps
Classic Leaf PreCut stamps

Daphne Paper Collection

Paper Blossoms Tool Kit
Spellbinders Grand labels 1

OTHER ITEMS - Inks, Dauber, Hot glue, string pearls, Sticky velcro and double sided tape.

To Make it 

* Cut the following papers. 1 piece 16.5 cm x 27 cm and score 12 cm from each end.

This forms the body of the bag.

2 Pieces 13 cm x 5 cm and score 1 cm from both sides and along the bottom.

These will form the sides.

*Cut out the largest of the Grand Labels one which will form the flap of the bag. 

Score in the middle and 3 cm from the middle.

*Adhere the sides and the flap, trimming where necessary along the back.

*Cut a piece of paper  16.5 cm x 8 cm. 

Adhere to the back of the box so it forms a pocket.

*Adhere String pearls around the edge of the front flap and 

along the line of the back pocket.

*Stamp, and cut out your leaves. I left my leaves unembossed

and used the stamps themselves to colour the front leaves.

The leaves on the rear I did on green paper for colour effect.

*Stamp, ink, emboss and adhere your flowers.

*Add Velcro dots or a sticky velcro piece to the inner of the flap.

* Arrange and adhere the leaves and flowers to the box

and your project is complete.

I really hope you like this.

Congratulations to the rest of the other finalists.

Go check them out they are very talented.

Hugs and Happy crafting !
