A different version of my pursebag that I will feature at an upcoming class.  Students will learn how to cut up one sheet of DSP to make the bag and 6 cards.

I've been getting ready for my upcoming Circle Bag w/Matching Mini cards class so am posting another sample.

I used the new Sweet Pea DSP (from the Occasions mini catalog) and the Happy Moments set that you can get FREE during Sale-a-bration.  You can make the bag and matching cards with just one sheet of DSP (Designer Series Paper) and some additional coordinating cardstock.

So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Taken with Teal cardstock, inkpads and markers; Beautiful Butterflies and Pennant dies; Scallop Trim Border and 1-3/4" Circle punches; Perfect Polka Dots and Bouquet Impressions folders.

4/1 update: The instructions are now posted in the Instruction Tab above or click here.

Old Olive cardstock and inkpad, So Saffron cardstock; Sweet Pea DSP; Beautiful Wings embosslit; Eyelet border and 1-3/8" circle punches; Crimper; Summer Sun Corduroy button; Well Scripted stamp set.

To make the flower:  Cut two 1" x 11" strips of cardstock and use the eyelet border punch along one edge of each piece.  Put the strips through the crimper twice.  Place sticky strip all over a circular piece of cardstock (I used the 1-3/8" punch).  Starting at the outer edge of the circle, slowly place one crimped piece around the circle, pinching in along the bottom edge of the strip and work your away around and inwards.  When you run out of paper add the other strip until you reach the center and cut off the extra.  Punch a hole in the center and add the brad.  Voila-you're done!

To make the leaves:  Cut a circle out of cardstock using the 1-3/8" circle punch.  Place the circle piece back into the punch about 1/2 way and punch again.  Fold the "leaf" in 1/2 lengthwise and send through the crimper.
