Hi I am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of instruction on how to decorate a hand bag shaped card? My friend gave me a set of blank cards and someone likes the idea and I've got a month to finish it
it's for an engagement so I am not sure what will work but when I said it was 3d she was so excited then she wrongly told me that I had 3 months to figure it out and I said nope 5 weeks!!!
I will probably have to stick on some scrApbooking paper and go from there
thanks for your help

Wow that looks amazing I have not taken a photo but I traced the shape and I put foil type paper on the inside and other card on the outside I left a spot on the inside to write in
I used stickers to write congratulations and their names and the engagement date
on the other side I put die cut hearts and used 3d foam so they were 3d
It turned out nice the person buying it hasn't seen it yet but she loved the other card I made her
I have only a smart phone at the moment no laptop so posting photos is too hard but hopefully it will be fixed soon long story
thanks for sharing your card!
Are these cards made with one of those cutting machines? I was given blank ones and sticking stuff on was a real challenge if there's a way to make our of the card you want raters than sticking stuff on I think that would be easier that said I don't have a machine
Have you ever made a card in the shape of a Christmas tree? Cos I was also given some of those too

This particular card was made from a die cut from The Cutting Cafe. You don't really need a die cut machine (although it helps). They offer the patterns in PDF form, also. They also have some Christmas trees.
Besides all of the cut files, she also has different shapes that can be used to decorate your purse or tree, or whatever you make. I would definitely check out the site for some ideas.
I have a Cricut Expression and lots of extras for sale...almost brand new (used 2 times). Sells for over $200 new (I paid $269). I am willing to make a great deal! Let me know if you are interested...
Be sure to try to post a pic of your purse card whenever you are able to do it!
Thanks for your reply
I havent got a machine because I am bedridden so I actually do everything in bed lying down I will get my husband to take a photo of the table that he made me it has a inbuilt book stand and I can sew with a special machine pedal by mouth do card making and any other crafts too he's going to try to make a stamp press to go over the top of my stamp press cos stamping on this angle is really hard it's going to be detachable so that if I don't need it it won't be in the way so I guess I have a much better working surface now than what I did have but for now I'm not sure I would be able to physically manage a machine
also at the moment I am able to craft only about 4 to 5 days a month that's because every time I have a appointment it takes a week or fortnight to recover I have to travel to appointments by ambulance but I am getting a wheelchair made which will allow me to almost lie down with my legs up so it will take a long time to make any head way and there's no chance of walking but at least I have my craft to look forward to and I am also writing a book
sorry for the epic
I will get a photo of the card asap too so you can see it

I am so sorry to hear about your circumstances! I am a cancer patient and I have limitations, but not anywhere near what you have. I don't know your
name, but I will pray for you.
