My Elegant Handbag
Hello Everyone! I am back in my craft room trying to bring some type of normalcy back into my life. This is my project for a year-long collaboration featuring bags, boxes, baskets, and purses that you can use for gift packaging, home decor, storage, or whatever you desire.
I used two die sets from Simply Made Crafts, the landscape gift bag die set and the big bow die set.
Back View
I used my favorite color combo, black and gold. I used a black cardstock base and then used polkadot paper from an old Halloween paper pad from Michael’s the year they had all the black and gold things for Halloween. I don’t do Halloween, but I sure bought the paper and the bling when it went on clearance! I sold the sheets I would not use in a destash.
It closes with Velcro.
I embossed the flap with the elusive studded leather embossing folder from Crafter’s Companion. If you ever come across that one get it because it is hard to find. A few were re-released last fall and I was able to get one! I used a black Velcro dot to close it. I added textured flat back bling in the corners. On the back on the handle, I used another type of flat back bling.

On the butterfly bow, I used Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Flakes in Onyx Gold. I also added a flower bling. I really like the way it turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to take a look at my video before you go!
