Graphic 45 
Portrait of a Lady

Deluxe Collector's Edition

Gift Card Purse

Hello dear G45ers!

Happy to share my project this month featuring the

 stunning Graphic 45 Portrait of a Lady Deluxe 

Collector's Edition.

I created a Gift Card Purse with a Card.

 I used my Silhouette to cut the box (purse).

I love the color combo of this collection, the pinks 

and greens are so pretty and the accompanying 

chipboard and stickers add the perfect finishing 

touch to any project.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you may use to

 recreate such a project:

G45 Supplies used:

Portrait of a Lady Deluxe Collector's Edition

Folder & Sentiment Dies 

Metal Paper Charm Clips

Other Supplies used:

Silhouette Cut File:

3D Gift Card Wallet by Lori Whitlock Design ID 45493

Bow Cutting Die

Scoring Board

Kraft Cardstock

Velcro Dots

Foam Adhesive Squares

Chipboard Leaves

Watercolor Paper 

Embossing Powder

Lace

Cut a purse from the pattern sheets in the collection. Cut two 

strips as seen below to be used as 'straps' for the purse.

Add lace to the piece of the purse that is supposed to line the inside

of the purse, however I used it to line the outside instead.

Tip: adding lace to this piece will look neat when adhering it to 

the outside of the purse.

Cut a card from the pattern sheets (measurements: 18.5 cm x 12 cm)

and score in half. Cut two more pieces for the gift card holder

 (measurements: 12 cm x 9 cm 'pink piece' and 11.5 cm x 8.5 cm to mat.

Fussy cut some elements from the collection to decorate the 

card and gift card holder.

Die cut a bow, assemble and fasten with a brad. Remember to 

add it to the hole of the lid of the purse.

Tip: curl two bow strips forming a curve using the back of a 

pencil or similar object. This makes folding the end pieces 

together a little easier. 

Heat emboss some leaf chipboard embellishments.

Add a chipboard embellishment from the collection at the bottom

of the purse underneath the velcro dot as seen below.

Add a sticker from the collection on the lid of the purse before 

adding a Velcro dot.

Tip: the sticker will cover up the brad from the bow that goes 

through the hole of the purse.

Adhere the fussy cut elements and chipboard leaves with

 adhesive foam squares making sure that the gift card can 

easily slide in and out of the holder.

Adhere all the fussy cut elements, chipboard and stickers to the

 card with adhesive foam squares to give dimension.

Happy Papercrafting!
