It's a Wrap Blog Hop!

Welcome to the It’s a Wrap Blog Hop hosted by Cool Beans By L.B. Do you like to receive gifts? How about give them? Well this hop is all about the outside…the wrapping; Gift bags, boxes, baskets and more. There are 22 wonderful stops on this hop and we hope you will take some time to stop in and see everything we have created for you.
You should have arrived here from scrappinmystressaway.  If you are just finding our hop in the middle you can go to the beginning at Cool Beans By L.B.

For my project I created a gift purse.  You can use it to hold a gift card, small trinket, or even a small treat.  In addition, you can embellish the inside to create a pop open mini-album!

1.  Start with 2 sheets of 2 sided 12x12 designer series paper, 2 coordinating 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of solid cardstock, coordinating ribbon and an embellishment (flowers, buttons, a stamped saying).

2.  Score one sheet of the dsp at 4" on each side.

3.  Score and fold all 4 sides at 4".

4.  Score and fold all 4 corners down the center.

5.  Score and fold two centers, only at two inside corners to outside center.

    

6.  Fold in the 12x12 paper.

7.  Cut cardstock 4" x 4 3/4".
8.  Cut Top note (contrasting color) .

 9.  Punch slit at center of long side of top note.

10.  Adhere lightly, top note to 4 x 4 3/4 cardstock.
11.  Score and fold both at 2 and 2 3/4".
12.  Run ribbon through slits and adhere with two-sided tape.

13.  Attach top to one center of 12x12 and close.
14.  Add velcro for closure and close.
15.  Add embellishment to op center of purse front.

16.  As an option, you can decorate the inside to make a neat fold out mini-album.

Voila!
