Clutch with Note Cards

Clutch Purse Card Holder; Handmade GiftsWhen I saw this clutch with notes cards, I knew they would make wonderful Hostess Gifts

 

It holds 4 Note cards and envelopes

and here are the cards

If you are looking for "quick and easy" and USEFUL, this is a DARLING set

Stampin' Up sells the 5" x 3 1/2" Note Cards and they come in a pack of 20 with envelopes!  And only $6.00 for a pack – and you have your choice of Whisper White or Very Vanilla!!

 

I wanted to share how to make this cute clutch.  I saw this on Dawn Griffith's site and she cased it from another demo!

Start with a 12" x 12" piece of designer series paper of your choice

Which ever side you want to be on the main part of the clutch, will be facedown

Fold from point to point

 

Next fold up 3/4" at the bottom – be sure and use the bone folder to burnish well

Open it up and place the opposite points together and gently crease in the center – this is to find the center point

Open up and bring the points into the center – your creases in this picture should be folded in

Now fold the center crease line in a mountain fold – or fold it to the center

Then fold the two sides valley fold – so you now have the "gusset" 

You can now fold the tips down – I folded them to about 1" from the bottom.  Fold one side and then match the other side

You clutch is made – no adhesive at all

This is the inside where the cards flip in

For a closure, I used stick magnets.  You can find them at your local hardware store, so lots of places online (the ones I used are 3/8" in diameter and 1/16" thick

You could also use velcro!

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial
