Step by step

1.  Cut white cardstock to 14cm x A4 length, score along length at 1.5, 11.5,   13, 23cm. Fold and burnish, keeping 1.5cm tab to left. Matt and layer first 10cm panel with premium design paper and contrasting plain card, cutting each layer 0.5cm smaller in each direction. Die-cut aperture centrally in this panel – check sandwich for machine as 3 card layers, and may need 2 or 3 passes.
2. Select design paper to go behind aperture ensuring main image is central and cut to 9.5 x 13.5cm. Check card folds easily and if necessary, trim a tiny fraction from the tab. To glue tab in position, apply wet glue or red-liner tape to tab and fold the 7cm section over it then squash flat to the right.
3. Cut another piece of white card for the front (14 x 11.5cm). Apply glue to outside of the 7cm panel and lay front card over it aligning all edges. Matt and layer the front of the card.
4. Die cut topper from white card to match aperture and also frame from contrasting card. Use rub on transfers to decorate topper then add to front with 3d foam pads and bow. Fussy cut flowers from design paper. Adhere to frame so they partly overhang the aperture.

 

Top Tip

Lightly add black ink to edges of fussy cut flowers with daubers or foam to add definition to images and disguise slight imperfections cutting

Mini Handbag Treat box

 Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending my first team event with my Stampin Up Team. What a great day and super bunch of demos. I came away with lots of ideas and inspiration so there may be some more new blog posts on the way!!! 

Whilst there we swapped recent makes and several people asked me to share how I had made my contribution. 

They are just big enough to hold a chocolate goody, you could handwrite a name on the closure if using as place names for a table setting or they would make lovely happy mail too.

If you would like to recreate some of these, here is a list of products I used  that are available from My stampin Up shop - lesleykilby.stampinup.net. You can also Join my Team at Stampi@ Up on the same page - please message me for more details or to discuss the fantastic benefits that you could also have.
