Today also sees the start of a brand new challenge. We have a fun theme for you "More Than One Fold ". Our sponsors - Creations by AR. The company is run by Adela Rossol and she has very generously provided the team with cut files to create fun 3D projects. I chose this super stylish Haute Tote.
This bag makes a one of a kind gift "box". I made 2... well actually, by the time this post goes up, there should be at least 6!
The finished project is about 5-1/5" high (excluding handles) and 4-1/2" wide.
There's a little pocket inside to fit a 3x3 note card. How cool is that?!
This is the very first one I made - a simple, no frills version. To my delight, it was so easy to put together, thanks to Adela's clear instructions.
The templates supplied by Creations by AR are digital downloads which include:
• PDF files (used for printing and cutting by hand);
• SVG files (used on most cutting machines); and
• Step-by-Step Instructions with lots of photos.
You do not need a cutting machine such as a Silhoette, provided you have good pair of scissors and don't totally suck at fussy cutting! Obviously, the intricate, fiddly designs will be more challenging. This tote bag can easily be done by hand.

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Asha, I presume it is cut on a silhouette or something similar. It is so gorgeous and very impressive with gorgeous colours and embellies.

Oh my gosh Asha, when I saw the first image I thought it was a purse for inspiration for a card, it looks so real! Both are gorgeous. Take care, Donna
ReplyDeleteGoodness! This is absolutely darling, Asha! I love it to pieces with the bright colors and flowers. Your simpler design is equally as cute! Makes me feel like it's really time to drag out the spring wardrobe! What a fun project.

Really cute. Love the paper choice and colors. This would make a great favor for my Mother's Day luncheon. Want to make 18 more?

I love that cut file- the purse is darling and I love the little pocket inside as well! I have it in my 'stash' and will now have to go give it a go! I think it looks great without embellishments, but really love the added flowers you used.
