I give several of my (non-cardmaking) friends packages of cards for their birthdays and I think this is such a great way to "wrap" the cards ... presenting them to my friends in this card holder purse.
It's also a great way to use some of my stacks of 12" x 12" patterned papers. :) Win/win. I hope to make a lot more of these.
Here's a link to the video tutorial that Karen used and shared on her blog ... Chic Handbag for Cards.
I struggled a little with the handles, but think maybe next time I'll soften the card stock with my bone folder before scoring and gluing and hopefully that will give a smoother curve.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

When I give sets of cards as a gift to non-cardmakers I always make corrugated cardboard boxes, but this is such a lovely idea, Loll!!!!! Thank you so much for the link - I'm definitely going to try making some of these - for sure a great ay to use some of those 12" X 12"s that has been in my stash for a long time!!!! Very cute ...and I think your handles look just fine!!!!!
