One Sheet Wonder with Tote

Those are great. Makes everything very convenient. I love the background of all those cards. Did you make that background or was it premade?

The basic purple and white was premade. I then stamped the black with a rolling stamp. I rubber stamped the gold stars and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder. I was trying to take paper I didn't like and make it more desirable. I think I manage it.

I think you did too :) It is lovely!

Another wonderful gift idea - pretty cards in a tote. Lynne, you always seem to find the best ideas to share. Thanks,

Sandy

The tote is adorable. Did you come up with that idea? did you made the tote out of paper? Thanks for sharing.

The tote is way easier to make than I thought it would be. I found the directions on splitcoaststampers.com . If the below link doesn't work try doing a search in the gallery for "Au Chocolate tote & cards OSW". That is usually how I find it. Then the trick is the first link she gives for the directions don't work. Look further down and she realizes her mistake and post the correct link. She has the complete instructions for the tote and the cards to go inside.

Yes, Sandy I too, thought these would make great gifts. I've already given one away. When I did I included envelopes and they fit in the tote as well. I found this because I gave a friend earlier this summer some cards I made for her birthday. I wrapped them in ribbon put them in a gift bag and they looked lovely, but wish I had a tote that matched the cards. Then I found the link. It really does add a lot to the look of the gift and the tote was easier to make than a card. I put the link and directions on how to find the link on a reply to Shannon if you're interested.

Anyone interested in this...I have a copy of the instructions Lynne is referring to :o) Email me at groupsmail AT blueyonder DOT co DOT uk and I can send them in either word .doc format or .pdf...which opens in Adobe Acrobat. Got them from another list where they were circulated with permission, I believe. Take care, Marilyn
