Springtime Handbag Card Mini KitCompleted by Margaret McCartney

Occasion
Special Days / Mothers Day

I printed the design onto 255gsm photographic paper and cut it out. I scored and folded the bag as instructed. I joined both sides of the handle using strong double sided tape.

I cut the two slits at the top of the bag and threaded the handle tabs through and secured inside with strong double sided tape.

I added the back and front panels using thin foam tape. I added the butterflies using thin foam tape under one wing and a blob of silicone glue under the other wing to give more definition.

I threaded some organza ribbon through one of the greetings and tied this around the handle, tucking the ends under the back panel of the bag.

This gorgeous card will fit into an 8 x 8 envelope.
