Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia are participating. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you! Our theme this month is “Happy Birthday”. You may have arrived from Shirley Merker’s blog. I always love seeing what she has created to share with us!
If you didn’t start your hop here, you might think you are in the wrong hop, because I am completely off theme. I got this month’s theme wrong!! Apologies to my fellow bloggers for my error, but I hope that you enjoy my off-theme design in any case.

We are still in stage 4 lock down, and as you do when you can’t go out, I went browsing online! I saw a few different handbags which were plain in front and had a patterned or textured side. I immediately decided that I wanted to recreate that in paper. I made the bag using the All Dressed Up dies. The card is made using a note card (so that it fits inside the bag) and the Hooray To You stamp set. Once again the In Good Taste DSP has landed up in my hands. I am going to try it out using the Rococo Rose DSP too!

WOW Tracy, This bag is amazing. The texture on that paper really pops. Love it.

Great project! I like coordinating cards with gift packaging, makes the card and gift extra special. Thanks for sharing!

Cute card and purse – thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by
Love the purse/gift bag! The Rococo Rose is pretty, but I really like the Misty Moonlight! TFS
The Misty Moonlight makes the bag look like it is made out of demin.
love the way you’ve used both DSP and card to make the bag
