Purse Easel Card featuring Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers

This beautiful Purse Easel Card, featuring Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers (DSP), was shown to me by a very dear customer who spent some time in Tasmania and purchased a similar card.  So to the lady in Tasmania who made the inspiring card, who ever you are, thank you - it is gorgeous.

I designed a template based on this card, slightly different dimensions and very different dressing, but a stunning card all the same.

 

The card is made in two pieces - the front and handle is one piece, the base, back and flap the other piece.  It is the layering under the greeting, that provides a stop and keeps the face/front of the card in place. 

DSP is from SAB 2013

A front on view so you can see the shape - the inside curve is punched out with Stampin' Up! 2 1/2" circle punch - was so much easier than trying to cut that out.

DSP is from Eastern Elegance 130131

There is a slit where the back moves into the flap of the purse, for the handle to slot through.

This beautiful bag was the creation of Heather Payne - Love it...

This card uses 1 x 12x12" sheets of card stock and 1 x 12x12" sheet of Designer Series Paper.  It is wonderful to see different styles of cards and I absolutely love this one.

Happy creating
Love
