Hello...
Today I have
Handbags, and I am sure you will love these as not many ladies can say they don’t
like handbags!
These are kits
from Craftsuprint and were designed by Sandie Burchell. And the 1st
one is called Beige Plaid, the 2nd is called??? I just cannot find
the kit sorry, and the kits all consist of 3 sheets of printing, that’s one
sheet for the main bag, one sheet is the matching insert and the last sheet has
the handles, butterflies, front & back flaps.
I trimmed around
the main card, the back and front flaps, handles and the tag, sprayed the back
of the elements with stick & stay then pressed them onto an A4 sheet of
white 350gsm card.
Next I cut out
all the pieces I had just stuck onto the white card. I scored the main handbag
across the centre fold line then carefully cut out 2 small sections on the fold
where the handles went. The handles were cut out then I used Cosmic Shimmer pva
to stick the handles together, to ensure they were dry I used some small
bulldog clips and left unto everything else was ready.
The 2 flaps were
cut out and I put small sticky pads all over them ready to go on the bag itself
once the handles were put in place. I cut out tags and stuck them together
using the pva glue and the bulldog clips. While I was waiting I cut out the 4
butterflies then on 1 large and 1 small I used a Sakura quickie glue pen to
highlight sections of the wings then covered with glamour dust, tapped away the
excess and then put to one side.
Now the handles
are dry so I carefully slotted the tabs through the slits and then turned the
card over, using red double sided tape I covered the tabs on either side of the
handle then removed the backing tape and closed the card, this was the best way
to get both piece stuck in the right place, I turned the card over, removed the
backing from back sides of teh handle and then closed the card...so now I have
the bag with a handle!
I removed the backing from all the sticky pads
on the flaps and then stuck them in place on the handbag, then used pva on the
2 butterflies that weren’t glittered and stuck them onto the front flap, then
ran the pva just along the body of the glittered butterfly and stuck over the
flat one, this lets the wing flap when touched. I glued a 10mm mink coloured pearl to the brown bag and a 10mm clear ab gem to the black & white bag.
I punched a hole
through the tag then slotted a piece of ribbon to match the main colour of the
bag and tied it around the handle to finish.
Something I did
do that I haven’t mentioned was run around all the edges with a promarker that
was as near to the bag colour as possible, it just looks nicer than the white
of the card showing, it’s a personal choice, I know some people really don’t like
it.
Well I hope you
like the 2 bags, I have the printer working away as I need to get plenty made
up as they are great for friend’s birthdays or just to send with a chatty
letter inside!
See you again
tomorrow...
Haven’t yet
decided what I will be making but my head is full of ideas so be sure to pop in
again soon
Hugs
