Petal Passion Tote

I am just loving Stampin’ Up!’s Petal Passion Suite! I like the artistic black and white dsp and I just love the adorable bird in the stamp set. I made this cute tote bag and cards for my daughter’s church youth group.




The fun card I made for our team swap in January. 

Here’s how to make this cute bag:

1. Out of Basic Black cardstock, cut 2 pieces measuring 1"X11" and score at 1/2". Using the reverse punch on the envelope punch board, round corner edges.
2.  Burnish score lines, and add tombow glue leaving 1 1/2" on both edges. 

 3. Adhere together and when dry use a bone folder to add curves to the handles of your bag.
4. Cut a piece of basic black cardstock measuring 4 1/2" X 8"  Score at 1" around all sides. Burnish all sides. Snip 1" in on the longer sides. Feel free to wedge the cuts.

 5.  Use tombow glue and adhere box together, folding in sides.
6. Using the Petal Passion dsp, cut 2 pieces measuring 4 1/2" X 9". Add tombow glue starting half way on a short side followed by long side followed by 1/2 of the other short side. 

7. Adhere 1 piece of the cut dsp and attach to bottom of the box. 



8. Add more glue to the rest of the black Box.  Attach 2nd piece of dsp by adding a line of glue down both short sides of paper and adhere to box.

9. Cut 2 pieces of Basic Black cardstock measuring 3/4"X 9" . Use tombow glue and adhere to too outside edge of bag.

10.  Adhere handles onto bag.  

11. Add gold faceted gems to handles like in photo below.
12. To create the little bird charm, Use the petal palette stamp and framelits. Punch hole and attach to bag. You could use baker's twine if you wish. I used the beaded chain I got at the craft store.
