Summer picnic handbag

Remember last autumn when I had a run on Old Olive and Real Red? Well, I’ll warn you now, this is the beginning of another one of those long runs of projects made from the same colours.

I like the look of colour co-ordinated samples so much that I’m doing it again... this time with projects made with the colours from the Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper. The colours from these papers are Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Real Red, so you’ll be seeing a lot of those in the next few weeks. Yes, I realise that’s just an extension of Old Olive and Real Red... perhaps that’s why I was drawn to these papers!

Here’s my first sample... a return to the handbag card (I was using scraps and found one ready cut in the box!). It’s very easy to make – just cut your usual card shape, then measure along the fold 1” in from each edge and mark. Then cut from each mark down to the relevant corner. Make two holes for the ribbon and you have your handbag.
