Tres Chic Handbags Fall Collection #3

The last Tres Chic Handbag for the week using the new beautiful Spice Cake Designer Series Papers.

Love these little 3x3 flip up style cards. The closure is a flower made with the 1" circle punch.

Here's a close up of the flower. I punched five 1" circle punches. Fold four of them in quarters and place on top of the remaining circle. I used Mini Glue Dots to secure them. I mounted the flower on a 1-1/4" Early Espresso circle. The center is made of 2 More Mustard flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch, the small flower in the

little 3 pack of punches in Early Espresso and a More Mustard brad.

Front Open Card: 3" x 6" cardstock in More Mustard, fold in half. Cut about 3/4" off the front. Round the top corners. Add Designer Series Paper to the inside of the pocket. I used the Scallop Trim border punch for the decorative edge, words are from Teeny Tiny Wishes. The flower is described above and is attached at the top only with a Stampin' Dimensional. The bottom of the flower needs to be left open (without a Dimensional) so the card can close underneath it.

Happy Thanksgiving Card: 3" x 6" in Pool Party cardstock, fold in half. Cut 1/2" off the front and use as 'buckle'. Add Designer Series Paper, make the flower as described in the 2 previous postings. I used the Flower Fusion Sizzlet die-cut and the leaves Sizzlet die-cut. Attach the strip for the buckle onto the back of the card and slide it under the flower embellishment. Trim if it is too long.

Pocket Card: 3" x 6" Early Espresso cardstock, fold in half. Fold the front down about 3/4". Round the top corners. Add Designer Series Paper to the inside of the pocket and a Pool Party strip of cardstock to the flap. The insert card is mounted on More Mustard and the punches used for the top are 1-3/8" Circle Punch and the Scallop Circle Punch. The ribbon is Early Espresso. The flower has been described in the 2 previous postings, I used the Flower Fusion Sizzlet die-cut and the leaves Sizzlet die-cut.
