Shaped Red Satin Handbag Birthday CardCompleted by Heather Beechey

I printed this sheet onto two different types of card before deciding that glossy photo paper presented the best effect. I then cut out the design as per the directions on the sheet, then traced around the bag onto a plain mid-weight card and cut out 2 pieces to glue to the back of each side for added strength. I cut these pieces so that they did not quite reach the fold line to enable a good clean fold.

I then attached a punched maidenhair fern leaf with glue, and added a white paper flower using a square red brad to the bottom right corner. I punched a hole in the top left corner and added the Birthday wishes tag using red ribbon fixed in place betwen the 2 layers of card with glue.

This design makes a gorgeous keepsake card that any lady would be happy to receive.
