Today’s project is from my Facebook Live broadcast last night – a mini handbag using the Envelope Punch Board!

I’d like to credit Elaine Jackson (Papercraft Button) for the original project. She designed this handbag using a 12″ x 12″ piece of Designer Series Paper. Her video tutorial appears to no longer be available, so I can’t remember the score line measurements, but when I figure it out, I’ll update this post! And Brigitte Keiling came up with a mini version of Elaine’s creation using a 6″ x 6″ piece of Designer Series Paper. CLICK HERE to see her version! These two women are so inspiring! I’m grateful for their talents!
I just LOVE this pattern from the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper! It’s beautiful as a little handbag too! Don’t you think Vera Bradley should offer handbags in this pattern? Here’s my video tutorial from last night – I decided to show my smiley face this time:
Here’s a link to the Velcro dots I used to close this sweet little handbag: http://a.co/37Z41o2.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

- Whole Lot of Lovely DSP – 6″ x 6″, scored on all 4 sides using the Envelope Punch Board at 1-3/8″ and 4-5/8″

Enjoyed your video! You do a lovely job explaining and clearly showing us how to complete a project! Happy I found you. Thank you! Love paper!
Your bag is adorable. Would you be kind enough to make one from 12″x12″ paper? Unfortunately, Elaine at Papercraft Button has closes her YouTube channel.
So stinkin CUTE!! Love it!! I think I’ll do a Halloween version for my ladies next month☺️ Thank you so much!!
Julie, You are so adorable. Just got chance to watch since had class here at my house last night. Thanks for sharing the great video! I will try to make one when I get back in town next week. I am coming up to see my family in Atlanta tomorrow and back Monday. I will be back up for WCMD2017 in Oct. and see you then!
I love all your little purses! Can you list where you got the little Velcro circles please? What I had wasn’t strong enough. Thanks for another great video!
Such a cute bag; wonderful video! I LOVE the pic. of your tooth-lost daughter on the sidebar, too; soo cute she is, and I love your sunflower mini card, too! Thanks For Sharing! 🙂
Thanks for sharing another adorable project!
So sweet! It appears to me that this paper was designed ONLY for making small handbags. Perfectly fun!
