So there are lots of different handbag style boxes out there – but I couldn’t resist making my own, specially sized for two Ferrero.  I am loving the new Fresh Florals DSP with the beautiful flower that matches the Floral Phrases stamp set, but the smaller designs on the reverse work well on smaller projects that won’t accommodate the full flower – they also give a great punch of colour. These are very quick and easy to make and if you wanted to, you could substitute ribbon for the card handle – although I like the way the card stands up, but that probably reflects the fact that I like a handbag that stands up on its own rather than floppy handles.

Some of you might have spotted this on my YouTube channel…..oops…wrong date!  Anyway I hope you enjoy with the measurements now
