Unicorn handbag card

Hello and welcome to my blog, today I would like to share with you an adorable unicorn handbag shaped card, I absolutely love this image it is so versatile and can be used on a variety of different papercraft projects. I purchased this kit from

You get so many elements for your money, I personally considered it to be a wonderful purchase.
Please see all instructions and products used below:

• I started with an 8x8 scalloped card blank in a tent fold orientation, I measured out in pencil an inch from top left of card crease and an inch from the top right of the card crease, I trimmed the card with my paper trimmer on an angle to the very edge of the bottom of the card from my pencil mark creating the basic handbag shape.
• I then used a piece of patterned paper to cover the front of the card base and trimmed around the edge with my scissors following the shape.
• I created a panel for the fold of the bag using a piece of water coloured patterned paper, I first stamped and embossed the paper with a star stamp and Wow embossing glitter powder and my heat tool. next I used the bow fancy edge die and ran it through my die cutting machine. I made two small holes in the top of my panel and fed some ribbon through to serve as the handle and attached this to the top of the card, and trimmed around the edge again following the shape of the card.
• For the unicorn image I used just one of the decopage images and fussy cut around it, I added lots of glitters and sparkle to the image and added some foam pads to the back and attached the the card as shown.
• I then decided to create some flowers and foliage to give it that little extra extravagance, I created these by using a flower stamp and foliage with the same watercolour paper I used for the handbags flap at the top, and also some vellum and acetate. I stamped 2 flowers onto the paper and heat embossed in white and fussy cut around the flower shape. I then stamped one flower onto vellum and heat embossed with a pink glitter embossing powder. For the foliage I stamped them onto heat embossible acetate using white embossing powder and fussy cut them out, I then added some glitter sprinkles with dries clear glue. I repeated this process twice so I had 2 sets of flowers and foliage and added them to my card as shown.
• Finally just for some finishing touches I added some gems to the centre of my flowers and a gem the the bow to create the illusion of a handbag fastener.
