Sorry about that. I had PM'd someone with the dimensions, but forgot to post them here. Below are the dimensions and hopefully some help.
8-1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock and score across both 11" sides at the 1-1/4" mark. Now score across both 8-1/2" sides at the 4-1/2" mark. The pix shows to score on all dotted lines and cut on the solid lines. The tote gets folded and sticky taped together. The accent piece is 3" x 4-1/2". Adhere to tote. The handle was made with one long piece of ribbon. I started at the bottom of the tote, and using sticky strip to adhere, ran the ribbon over the seam between the tote and the accent piece, leaving excess at the top for each handle. The ribbon ended where it began.
Hope this helps. Good luck!!

Thank you sooooo much. That is a big help. I went to your gallery and saw your adorable tote. I knew then I was going to me needing the dimensions. Can't wait to make some. Thanks again, Elaine
Hi Aimee,
I finally made my first tote. I absolutely love it! I made it to match a special card. They are for my cousin's and her husband's 50th Wedding Anniversary. I am putting 50 dollar 'gold' coins in a clear celephane bag with a matching ribbon in the tote with shimmery tissue paper sticking out the top. I am so thrilled. Thank you so much for your inspiration. I wish I knew how to put it in the splitcoast gallery to show everyone. I did take pictures. I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you sooooo much.
Elaine
