This is the front of the Mini Pocket Tote Bag. That paper on the front is all one piece. The pattern is in striped panels...how cool is that?You can see a larger version of this tote that I made HERE and Liam's instructions are HERE.
I decided I really liked this DSP when I started using it, but I fell completely in love with the Haiku papers when I realised that the Circle Circus set co-ordinates with it. It just satisfies my little matchy-matchy heart when that happens :o)
Here it is from the side, so you can see how the cards fit in, and the dimension on the front:And this is how it opens:
And these are the cards inside:
The Love Notes are such a fun size to work with. These came together so quickly because I just kept the layout the same and swapped the strips of paper. I even put some DSP on the envelope flaps, so they tie in too.

Hi Marelle, I have been admiring your work for a long long time and I thought it was high time I left you a comment. I love this little bag and the love note cards that go with it... just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Marelle! Those papers are definitely lovely!

I am going to have to stop looking at your blog Marelle, you keep making me want stamp sets I don't have! Really love what you've done with the papers and stamp set; they compliment each other so well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous gorgeous little tote of cards. Love them!
ReplyDeleteHow cool are they. What a great idea to put the cards in the tote. I wouldn't have picked Haiku as a first choice either.

These are extremely 'trendy'. Love the combination of Haiku DSP and Trendy Trees.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, not my colours either but you make them look lovely. I only realised last week looking at someone else's blog showing a card made in this paper range that it matches 'Circle Circus". Always had wondered at the inspiration behind that stamp set.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, as usual.
