A Card a Day - Day 12

Day 12 - Handbag Card

This is another card I learned to make from Sam at Mixed Up Craft. So easy, and it looks so pretty.

This card measures 5" x 7" and fits into a 5" x 7" envelope (I made the envelope from some scrapbooking paper because I didn't have one in my stash).

The inside front flap has a pocket on it - it doesn't show so well in the photo - to hold a gift card.  The original card didn't have this.  I put the space for the greeting on the back.

This card took a full sheet of 12" x 12" DSP and a piece of cardstock 12" x 7" with a scrap for the handle.

I used a velcro sticky dot for the closure (they come from ebay - 100 for under $3).

Inside, the pocket for the gift card doesn't show very well, but it's there on the bottom of the front flap.
